Her appearance at the skate event with Moët & Chandon comes after she revealed she was pregnant with her third child back in July.

The TV personality admitted she learned she was expecting after trying for the first time while still breastfeeding her son Fred, who she welcomed 13 months ago.

It is her second child with her civil partner of three years Bobby.

Katherine shared her pregnancy news on her podcast, but remained tight-lipped on how far along she was.

She said: ‘I’m pregnant, I’ve been pregnant for a while and here’s how I did that. I got pregnant while breastfeeding the first time I tried and to be honest with you I don’t think it’s going to work because I’m 39 – I would have been 38 when I got pregnant.

‘And I thought, “We’ve got to get the kids out of the way”. You never know how long you’re gonna have and I love my kids. I just thought, ”well let’s go for it”.’

Speaking on her show, she said: ‘You should never tell people your due date. If you never tell them, they can never start hassling you around that time.’

Katherine said she ‘forgot about trying’ while touring after suffering two pregnancy losses, but began to suffer from a ‘sharp pain’ which lasted for two to three minutes, which she had while pregnant with her son Fred.

She continued: ‘I thought maybe I’m getting my period. And I didn’t expect to get a period this month as I could because these things have to even themselves out after your first period when you’re breastfeeding.

‘Soon after, days later I had a positive pregnancy test.’

She had a civil partnership with childhood sweetheart Bobby in December 2019, in a low-key ceremony in Denmark after the pair rekindled their romance.
