Katie welcomed three of the bald cats into her home back in October - despite being blasted by animal charities for doing so after a string of previous pets tragically lost their lives.

On her Snapchat page on Friday, the mum-of-five told how Doris had given birth, and has now revealed she's swerved a holiday to the Isle of Wight to look after the new litter.

But she has since shared a tragic update about the babies, posting a video with the caption "sad news" alongside four emotional emoji icons.

In the clip, Katie told her followers there had been a death and said: "An update on the kittens, one unfortunately died.

"That's the one wrapped in tissue, two hours after we fed it.

"Luckily I'm trying to help the kittens latch on to the mum, two are just about doing it but I'm having to put them on it, because they are so premature.

 

"As you can see how knackered I am, every two and a half hours through the day and through the night I'm feeding them for the mum.

"She's a good mum, and then she keeps bringing one to the bed with her, she did that earlier, I think that was a sign to come and look in the box as one had died."

Katie added: "But that's good because she trusts us and loves us so thats good.

"So I've got two latching on to her now, so thats the update."

She then panned the camera to new parent Doris, sitting on her bed, as she cooed: "Hey Doris, good girl."

CHARITY BACKLASH

Katie forked out for Doris and two other cats last year.

She showed her affection for the trio, even pushing them around in a pram.

Yet, at the time, she could not escape backlash from charity PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

They called for an injunction to be put in place, stopping Katie from owning pets completely.

At the beginning of 2024, Katie gave away a puppy called Tank because he "no longer looked cute on Instagram".

She also currently has a pet pug, named Captain, and looks after horses.
