Katherine Ryan has shared her joy online after she was crowned Hertfordshire’s sexiest woman for the third year running.

The comedian fought off stiff competition from the likes of Victoria Beckham, Alesha Dixon, and Molly-Mae Hague to receive the obviously coveted title, which is compiled by Hertfordshire Live.

The list described the 39-year-old as a “legend” and said: “She is the ultimate female boss and undeniably the sexiest woman in Hertfordshire.”

In light of her crowning, the TV star reacted to her win in a rib-tickling Instagram video and jokingly thanked her famous neighbours for “skipping their skincare routine”.

Clad in tracksuit bottoms and a jumper, the Canadian star shouted: “Yes! We did it!

“Being Hertfordshire’s sexiest woman… wasn’t that easy? Third year in a row.

“I want to say thank you to my neighbours for skipping their skincare routine and living like s**t, and letting me waltz into position one easily, 12 days after giving birth.”

Ryan then panned the camera over to her newborn daughter Fenna Grace Kootstra, whom she welcomed last week, and cheekily declared: “I’m an icon.

“Thank you to Hertfordshire Live, thank you to my whole neighbourhood, we are so happy to live here and to be the hottest people in the whole place.”

As she rounded off the video, the funny woman joked: “My only gripe is, where’s Bobby’s position?” referring to her partner, who was behind the camera.

Responding to her question, he quipped: “On top of you” to which she joked: “Let’s have another!” while looking at her baby daughter.

The star of the Netflix show The Duchesswelcomed her third child, second with childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra, earlier this month.

At the time, Kootstra shared a picture of Ryan who was in a birthing pool at home, and another image of the new-born child sleeping to announce their little one’s birth on Instagram

He captioned it: “Fenna Grace Kootstra. Dec 16, at 12:05am. Mom is incredible! Proving her strength repeatedly through the relatively lengthy delivery at home. We are so blessed.”
