Katherine Ryan has revealed she returned to work when her baby boy Fred was just 10 days old.
The comedian and TV star made the decision to film reality show Ready To Mingle not long after welcoming her second child.
And the 37-year-old mum of two has no regrets about making the bold decision so soon after giving birth.
“I was filming when Fred was 10 days old,” revealed Katherine, in an interview in New. “He really is not a problem. He's like a little speed bump and I just kept going!
“I was really lucky because he just happened to be an easy baby. He was born in three hours from start to finish, although I don't know if my husband would agree as the baby was nearly born in the car - but Fred is no match for me!”
Canadian Katherine shares her adorable baby with dad Bobby Koostra, her childhood sweetheart.
And she eagerly updated her army of social media fans prior to and after giving birth.
But while the actress has loved every minute of motherhood, she was keen to get back to her career with Fred having caused her few sleepless nights, for now at least!
Katherine was excited to host the new ITV2 show, which sees 12 guys fighting for the attentions of just one girl.
However, the catch is that some of the boys are in relationships – and the show sees whether they will cheat on their partners to land the winning cash prize.
Speaking about the show, Katherine revealed: “I am so excited to be a part of this new dating game show. How could I say no?
“It's like nothing we've seen before but still with all the drama and dating dilemmas we love to see, and I'll be there front row as it all unfolds!”
The single girl set to star in the show is 24-year-old beauty Sophie Maria.
Sophia, from Brighton, is at the centre of the drama as the show takes inspiration from hits The Bachelor and Love Island, with finding love top of the agenda.
She shares a house in Devon with the 12 guys, who go out of their way to try and impress her and date her.
And in one incredible twist, one the boys is actually guided by their partner in pursuit of the prize.
As yet the show’s full line-up of male contestants is yet to be confirmed by ITV bosses.
Ready To Mingle is set to begin on Monday 6th September at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
