Katherine Ryan has revealed she is pregnant with her third child.
The comedian, 39, admitted she learned she was pregnant after trying it for the first time while breastfeeding her son Fred, whom she welcomed just 13 months ago.
Katherine, who is expecting her second child with husband, civil partner Bobby Kootstra, shared her pregnancy news on the latest episode of her podcast, though she kept her tight-lipped about how far along she is.

On her show, she said, “You should never tell people your due date. If you never tell them, they can’t bother you around that time either.’
During the show, Katherine talked about her guilt about having a babysitter to babysit her son Fred while she was working and treating herself to a facial.
She said, “I did the unthinkable today. I have a lot of chores lined up and I asked Miriam (babysitter) to come in. I said, ‘Can you come in? It’s too hot.’ And I booked a facial at one o’clock through Urban Massage.’
“I feel really guilty about it. What’s worse is that I get this facial in my kitchen, right in front of her face.
‘What kind of Notting Hill parent is ‘you take care of my child I’m going to do a lot of work in the morning and then right in front of you I’ll lie on a table and get a facial while you clean the kitchen around me’.
‘That’s not how I was raised. But I just had to do it, I’m sorry. I am not feeling well…’
It was then that Katherine announced she was expecting her third child and told listeners, “You guys know I’m pregnant, I’ve been pregnant for a while and here’s how I did it.
‘The first time I tried it I got pregnant while breastfeeding and to be honest I don’t think it’s going to work as I’m 39 – I would have been 38 when I got pregnant.
“And I thought, ‘We need to get the kids out of the way”. You never know how long you have left and I love my kids. I just thought ‘let’s go for it’.
Katherine explained that she was still breastfeeding Fred at the time, admitting that she “knew she wasn’t ovulating” because she “didn’t have any noticeable dryness.”
“So one day I’m walking around and I feel, you know, damp. And I felt a little more attractive than usual,” she added.
She said, ‘I thought, #’well, let’s see, let’s check all things out.’
Katherine added that when she “forgot to try” while touring after two pregnancy losses, she started suffering a “sharp pain” lasting two to three minutes that she had while pregnant with her son Fred.
She continued, “I thought I might get my period. And I didn’t expect to have my period this month, because those things should go away on their own after your first period if you’re breastfeeding.’
“Shortly after, days later, I had a positive pregnancy test.”
Katherine is also mother to daughter Violet, 13, whom she fiercely protects, it is unknown who she shares her daughter with.
She had a civil partnership with childhood sweetheart Bobby in December 2019, in a low-key ceremony in Denmark after the couple rekindled their romance.
