Katy has certainly made her mark both on the telly and beyond, providing programmes, live workshops and personalised coaching to inspire her community. Her Instagram bio highlights her journey: "The shy kid who refused to play small and spent 30 years on TV! Now empowering women like YOU to UNLOCK your CONFIDENCE and CLAIM the SUCCESS you deserve!". Trey Farley, not just Katy's former 'Live and Kicking' mate but her husband too, and she have been blissfully united in matrimony for over 20 years, sharing their lives with their two offspring, Kaya and Akira. In an outpour of emotion this July 2023, they celebrated a special milestone – their 20th wedding anniversary. Katy took to her social media to reminisce, sharing snaps from their nuptials and penning down: "20 Years of US! 20 Years of Mr and Mrs Farley! What a ride we're on @rocaflix ... nobody else I'd rather be doing LIFE with! Happy 20 babe! Let's make more amazing memories! X (Ours was the Hans Zimmer version - obvs! )". Before finding joy with Trey, Katy had stepped into matrimony with her first love, Andrew Frampton, back in 1999, but alas, they went their separate ways by 2001.
