Pregnant Katie, who is set to tour with her live show What's In My Head next spring, told the publication: 'When my post-traumatic stress disorder was at its height, I was so isolated I didn’t want to leave my parents’ house.

'It took my mum dropping me off at church to help me get what I needed at that time: connection with others, free from judgement. I’d found my safe space – but it will be different for everyone.

'Nine years on, I am so much more than what happened to me. I’m a mother and a businesswoman; I run a charity that supports others overcoming adversity; and, most importantly, I’m happy.
