Katherine Ryan has opened up about how she rekindled her relationship with childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra and how the first time they slept together after reuniting went ‘horribly wrong’.
The couple, who married in 2019, have been together since 2018, but have known each other since they were children as they grew up together in Canada.
They began seeing each other when Katherine, who was based in Britain, went back to Canada to film an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?
Speaking on Davina McCall’s Begin Again podcast, she said: ‘We hadn’t spoken. We still hadn’t spoken. I just watched his Instagram stories a few times.
‘And for some reason, I knew that if I posted on my Instagram that I was going out in Toronto that evening with my sister, that he would come. I just knew he would.’
‘And I just posted, “Oh, I’m going to this place with my sister tonight. Anyone have any recommendations?” And he turned up in the pub. We had a one night stand that went horribly wrong.’

‘Oh no. Why?’ Davina asked.
‘Cause now we have all these kids,’ Katherine added. ‘I just thought it would be funny to s**g him. And it was funny.’
The comedian told how she became pregnant ‘very quickly’ and they got married just a few months later, adding that she had ‘really good chemistry’ with him.
Katherine also noted that Bobby texted her the next day after they slept together and told her he wanted to have kids and get married.
The couple are parents to Fred, four, Fenna, two, and newborn daughter Holland who they welcomed earlier this month.
Katherine is also mother to daughter Violet, 16, from a previous relationship.
Elsewhere during the interview, Katherine told of her future plans to go on Ozempic and get a face lift.
The star, who insisted she has never gone under the knife before, explained she wants to be the ‘most glam’ version of herself for her fans.
Katherine joked they ‘had a one night stand that went horribly wrong’ because now they have three children together

‘I want to go on Ozempic if that’s what it takes next year. I want to have a face lift,’ she said.
‘People are doing that younger and younger and there’s nothing I can do about my nose. A lot of people think I’ve had a nose job. I haven’t. I wouldn’t choose it.
‘I don’t think I can have a lip lift because my nose is so like, Dr. Suess. But I don’t want to do that for men. I’m happy to joke about like, Katherine Ryan’s had all this plastic surgery but I actually haven’t had any plastic surgery on my face.
‘I even haven’t had Botox and fillers for a long time because I’ve been so pregnant.
‘But because of pregnancy my face has been big and then small and then big and then smalll so I will do something about it and when I do, I’ll tell everyone about it.
‘Do I hate my face every day? I walk past shop windows and think, Oh God, I’m a monster. No.
‘But I’m an entertainer and I think if people are going to come and see me on tour, they deserve the best, most glamorous of me version because it’s part of showbiz.’
