Katherine’s outing comes after she recently hit back at critics who judged her over a past sexual arrangement with her boss.
The comedian who is expecting her fourth child, already shares son Fred, four, and daughter Fenna, two, with her husband Bobby Kootstra. She is also mother to her first daughter Violet, 16, from a previous relationship.
The TV personality made the revelation to journalist Louis Theroux, 55, back in 2022 as she spoke to him as part of the TV series Louis Theroux Interviews.
She took to Instagram on Tuesday to clarify that she was neither ‘proud nor shameful’ of the choices she made in the past and also shared a clip of herself telling Louis about the sexual arrangement with her boss.
She wrote: ‘Based on the reaction to this clip over the last two years, I think people mostly seem confused that I’m neither proud, nor am I shameful of the choices I made in my “youth”, as a young adult, when my frontal lobe was still developing.
‘Culture moves so fast and those of us from what I call ‘the girl band generation’ navigated being objectified and participating in objectifying ourselves. It’s a bit different now.’

The 2022 interview was shared on Stream4U this week and in it, Louis questions Katherine about sleeping with her boss.
Katherine confirms she said to her employer: ‘If I suck you d**k, can I leave early? Something like that.’
A stunned Louis responded: ‘You really said that?’
Katherine responded: ‘Yeah. But I liked him. That’s key. He wasn’t just some guy.’
When Louis asked what her bosses’ reply was, she said: ‘He said yes you can. Of course you can.
‘So then I sucked his d**k and I left early’.
It comes after Katherine hit back at critics who had something to say years after she admitted she once gave her boss oral sex so she could leave work early
Years after her revelation, Katherine has spoken out in defence of herself as she declared that she was neither ‘proud nor shameful’ of the choices she made in the past
She went on to claim that ‘several’ of the girls in the office had the ‘same arrangement’.
The broadcaster then remarked that those in the office who wanted to leave early but didn’t want to engaged in the sexual activity were at a disadvantage, suggesting they were ‘the losers in the transaction’.
With Katherine then insisting that the man in question would ‘never’ have made the suggestion himself.
Louis then asked if she has the same viewpoint now or if she would call out her boss for being ‘totally inappropriate’, with Katherine admitting it was ‘tricky’ as she really liked the guy and had a ‘crush’ on him.
She added: ‘I have never sucked the d**k of anyone I didn’t like… at the time.’
