Katherine Ryan has recalled a ‘traumatic’ home burglary experience where her husband Bobby came face to face with knife-wielding criminal as she spoke candidly on her podcast on Tuesday.
The comedian, 42, – who just give birth to her fourth child – spoke with Bobby about the 2019 incident which left him unable to sleep for a whole week.
Speaking on her podcast What’s My Age Again? she said: ‘I want to talk to you about the burglary, because I have told this story before. I think it is very traumatic.
‘I know that you couldn’t sleep for about a week. We were home in our new house…’
Bobby then explained: ‘It was so eerie, because it was just me and you. We were making pasta, having some red wine and I spilled some pasta sauce on my shirt.
‘I’m like, Oh, I’m gonna go change my shirt. So I go upstairs into my room and I see cufflinks out on the bed and some weird items that I’ve never even taken out of the drawer ever.

‘So I grab a shirt, walk out of the room, and I come face to face with this masked man.
‘First words are, what the f*** and I took after him.’
‘He had your laptop in his arms I saw, so I chased him out the window.
‘We had this like kind of landing and he jumped down, went to the neighbour’s garden so I saw where he went and then I heard some bushes rumbling.
‘So I saw the fence and I tucked down behind these bushes and he jumped over and I just tackled him, knocked the laptop out and then we got into a fight.
‘It seemed like it lasted a long time, but it was probably a minute long.
‘And then he went to pull up his waistband. I don’t know if there was a knife or not, and that’s when I backed off the fight because I had tackled him.’
Katherine added: ‘Well, he was saying, I’m gonna f****** kill you.’
Bobby added: ‘But then the knife kind of came out, and I’m like, whoa, whoa, whoa, and then we ended up on the street, and randomly, a cop was driving along, I was pointing at the guy, like, this guy, this guy.
‘So the cop chased after him in the car down this little laneway and I gave up my pursuit.’
She shared the video clip which was captioned: ‘All Bobby wanted was a clean shirt but found a burglar instead.’

It comes after Katherine shared adorable snaps on her Instagram to round up her first week with newborn daughter Holland Juliette Kootstra, on Friday.
Her and Bobby confirmed the arrival of their baby girl last week.
Katherine looked radiant and glowing as she cradled the family’s latest edition while enjoying a pub lunch out.
‘One week of easy breezy Holland’, she captioned her post.
Katherine already shares son Fred, four, and daughter Fenna, two, with Bobby. She is also mother to her first daughter Violet, 16, from a previous relationship.
The week before Katherine revealed she welcomed her newborn daughter in just 45 minutes as she shared her speedy birth story after returning to her podcast.
The comedian held her baby girl Holland in her arms as she filmed Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything, just days after giving birth.
The couple chose to have their latest addition at the private maternity hospital, The Portland, which cost them a whopping £10,000.
Days later on her podcast, Katherine shared intimate details from the day, including a moment she’d rather forget in front of her ‘hot doctor’, known only as ‘Pat’.
Katherine also revealed she was offered an ‘opiate menu’ to see which drugs she would like to take as pain relief during the birth.
Introducing the segment on the clip, Katherine said: ‘So this is our birth story. Where would you position it on the podium, take it away.
Bobby then said: ‘So this one, we scheduled it. And it went according to plan and no problems.’
Admitting the arrival of Holland was stress free, Katherine said: ‘I would call it pretty smooth sailing. The logistics of this birth were, if I hadn’t given birth by Friday then we were to be induced, by a lovely, handsome doctor. Celebrity obstetrician, Pat.’
‘We won’t say his full name, but those in the know, will know who he is. Everyone knows who he is. And he’s not someone that you want to s**t yourself in front of.’
Bobby then quipped: ‘How’d that go?’
Katherine confessed: ‘Not well. Sorry like TMI, my vag started like bubbling, bubbles were coming out of it. And I was like too stupid in the moment, to know that was Fenna, we keep calling her Fenna, not Fenna – we keep calling the baby Fenna, Holland, like crowning.
‘I was stood up next to the bed and I was like er maybe I can have that diamorphine shot, and she goes okay I’ll go and ask Pat.
‘And then she left and she came back and she goes Pat said he’s not even going to check you, he said you can have the shot. And I said oh actually he needs to come right now and check me.

‘And then I took it upon myself to just get on the bed and take my trousers off and Miriam and Pat came in and luckily he happened to be around outside.’
Bobby said: ‘Yeah thank goodness if he was around getting coffee he would have missed it, because you sat down and you were on the bed with the doctor and the midwife for maybe three minutes.’
Katherine candidly added: ‘Yeah, and I knew I s*** myself.’
Bobby added: ‘Right away, and they tried to play it off like oh you don’t know for sure. And you’ve got your gas and air and you’re like ‘I know that I did’.
The podcast clip was captioned: ’45 min active labour. 45 min podcast episode.’
