Glad to see how ecstatic you all are'; 'Always useful to have a teen on hand. Congratulations'. Previously Katherine has been open about her fertility struggles in recent years, revealing in 2024 that she had had three miscarriages in five years. Speaking in November, Katherine explained that she would love to have more kids – but was worried about her age. 'I'm old. I used to think I was going to be the babies' dad because I'm working but actually I'm like their grandmother,' she quipped at the time. And their fans found Violet's reaction hilarious as they gushed over her reaction in the comments 'My back hurts, sometimes I give them treats. I'm like a fun grandma.' The comedian also revealed in March 2025 that she was battling melanoma for the second time. She made the revelation in her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything, explaining she paid to have mole removed from her arm and learned it was cancerous. She added that she required more surgery to ensure the entire mass has been removed. The star is gearing up for another busy period of work, embarking on her Battleaxe comedy tour this month. She also hosts multiple podcasts, including her most recent What's My Age Again? - a 'refreshing and humorous take on ageing, wellness, and self-discovery.' The TV star revealed in 2022 that she had kept her second pregnancy a secret, because she was scared it would lead to her losing work. She was eight months pregnant when she presented ITV's Ready To Mingle, a fact that she hid from everyone. Katherine and her husband Bobby have been together since 2018, but have known each other since they were children as they grew up together in Canada . Childhood sweethearts, the two parted ways initially before rekindling their romance this side of the Atlantic. The couple revealed in the latest series of the family's reality show that they 'wanted the option of having a fourth [child].' The series saw the couple exploring their marriage through therapy before visiting a fertility clinic. Katherine admitted in the scenes which aired in February that she knew conceiving a fourth child would be challenging thanks to both her and Bobby's age. 'It's not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did,' said Katherine. 'But we talk a lot about male fertility as well, which is on a steep decline. But I would still like a fourth baby. We are so blessed to have the kids that we do have. Having children is not for everyone, but I personally really like making people. I think it's a superpower, if you can do it.' She explained at the time how she and her husband had never previously struggled with getting pregnant but had suffered multiple losses. 'We've always gotten pregnant with the babies quite quickly. I've been pregnant five times in five years, but that also means I've had three miscarriages in five years and the likelihood of that increases as you get older,' she explained. 'You have to find a balance between what you can personally stand and risks you're willing to take. I'm working a lot and I don't know if I could have a medical emergency like that while I'm in Lisbon on Thursday.' Speaking to OK! last year she also ruled out surrogacy, explaining: 'I think surrogacy is wonderful. It's beautiful for people who are really eager to offer it and for couples who need it but for me, I think it would be exploitative.' Appearing on the Chris Moyles Show in November, she admitted: 'I'd have so many more if I could. 'If I was a dad, I'd be like Robert De Niro having them. Because you can have kids when you're 80 as a dad. You just have to.'

Katherine Ryan pregnant with FOURTH child after hiding last pregnancy from BBC
COMEDIAN Katherine Ryan has revealed she's expecting baby number four. The 41-year-old and her partner Bobby Koostra will welcome another baby together, in an exciting addition to their family. 2 2 Katherine has three children with her husband Bobby, including son Fred, three, and daughter Fenna, two, as well as 15-year-old Violet from a previous relationship. And now, she'll be adding baby number four to the brood, as reported by Hello! The Sun has contacted Katherine's representative for comment. In 2022, the comedian admitted she hid one of her pregnancies from the BBC. She admitted to being so terrified of losing work when she was expecting her baby that she lied to TV bosses. The star was eight months pregnant when she presented ITV reality dating show Ready To Mingle — but no one had a clue she was even having her second child. Katherine revealed: 'During my pregnancy I wasn't telling anyone. "You can't get insured on any production if you are pregnant. 'Sometimes, if you are important enough, they go the extra mile. You see Holly Willoughby pregnant and that's because she's worth it. 'I tried to keep it secret. People just thought I was really fat for ages. I had to keep it quiet. I still needed to work to feed my family. 'I had been off for the whole pandemic. I walked on to set for Ready To Mingle eight months pregnant. 'If you go on the BBC's insurance site it says it doesn't insure for any matters of the womb. If your vagina falls off on set, that's it. 'You don't want to let down a production if you have some complication of pregnancy. 'Let's say you are on a sitcom and the whole day gets cancelled — you won't be insured. 'If you had an eye infection and they couldn't film you, that day would be insured and everyone would get paid and go home. 'It is so weird, so I just lied.'
