KATHERINE Ryan has admitted that she cheated on her ex and doesn’t regret it.
The 41-year-old comedian recently got candid on her infidelity and claimed that her ex ‘deserved it’.
Speaking on the Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith podcast, the actress and writer talked frankly about why she’s not sorry she cheated on her ex-partner.
While the mum-of-three didn’t confirm which ex she cheated on, showbiz's most frank and funny woman previously dated actor and writer Jeff Leach, 41, and also had an off/off romance with comedian Alex Edelman, 36.
When asked what is 'the most bada** thing' she has ever done, Katherine, who is currently in a civil partnership with Bobby Kootstra, 41, confirmed: “I cheated on one of my partners.”
She then admitted: “And that’s bad, but I feel he deserved it and I’m always really glad that I did it.”
Katherine confirmed that being unfaithful was an “exit strategy”, to which Paloma, 43, claimed: “It’s black and white thinking.
“Men do it and then it’s like ‘awful for the woman, she’s a victim of that’.
“And then when a woman does it, she is literally the devil.”
Katherine stressed she felt she “had” to cheat to get out of her relationship, as she explained: “I had no choice, I feel.
“The choice, I suppose, would have been, be more courageous and just go.
“But in this relationship, we were done. I had asked him to leave.
“Especically as a single mother, people were like ‘oh he left you’.
“No. I begged him to leave for a long time and then finally, isn't it funny that a lot of men won’t respect that choice, like they will respect another man’s property, so once another man comes into the picture, they go ‘oh’.”
To this, Paloma joked: “This tree has been p****d on by somebody else, just like dogs.”
Katherine then quipped: “I just needed to get p****d on.”
But while she doesn’t regret her infidelity, the Canadian, who recently opened up on her shock health diagnosis, admitted: “It wasn’t great, it felt awful at the time.”
As well as this, Katherine, who previously took a savage swipe at Danny Jones after he was filmed in a drunken kiss with Maura Higgins claimed: “I had so much guilt.
I had no choice, I feel

“You never wanna hurt someone else intentionally.
"But looking back at the bigger picture, no one knows what’s going on for the 10 years or the five years or the two years, or whatever it may be.”
'Imagine a guy saying this'
But social media users were left gobsmacked by Katherine’s claims and eagerly raced to share their thoughts online.
One person said: “Wow. This is horrendous! It's not ok to cheat on someone!”
Another added: “Imagine a guy saying this.”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in and commented: “I don’t care what people say I love Katherine Ryan.”
