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, just two months after Katherine's skin cancer diagnosis.
Katherine has two 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!
Katherine's cancer shock
In March, the comedian posted a photo of her arm with a plaster covering part of it after she underwent surgery for the second time in a week.
Katherine captioned it: "Done," with a green tick and a red love heart emoji.
The TV star had a mole removed privately last week, but after it was discovered to be cancerous, Katherine had to undergo another procedure.
She then revealed she has melanoma on the latest episode of her podcast Telling Everybody Everything.
It's the second time Katherine has been diagnosed with the disease, after having first had it at the age of 21 in 2004.
Hiding her pregnancy
In 2022, the comedian admitted she hid one of her pregnancies from the BBC.nt
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.”
