Katherine Ryan is reportedly expecting baby number four, just months after her shock cancer diagnosis.
The 41-year-old announced in March that she had been told she had melanoma for the second time in the last 20 years.
Hello! reports that she is now expecting her fourth child with long-time partner Bobby Koostra.
She has not confirmed the news on her own social media platforms.
Katherine has three children, including son Fred, three, and daughter Fenna, two, with Bobby, as well as 15-year-old Violet from her previous relationship.
Just two months ago, she revealed that after going to visit her GP over a mole on her arm she had been diagnosed ‘deadly’ skin cancer.
This was the second time Katherine had faced a diagnosis like this, the first time being when she was younger and at university.
Speaking about her experience, the Duchess star shared: ‘The mole kept changing, I know a lot about melanoma, I had melanoma as a very young woman – aged 21 – on my leg, I’ve spoken about that before.
‘It was flat, it wasn’t that big but it was melanoma. It is a deadly form of skin cancer and it does spread quickly.’
The mole was surgically removed, which the comedian showed off on her Instagram story with a white dressing plaster over the area.
Late last year, the star also revealed she had suffered ‘three miscarriages in five years’ and discussed medical emergencies happening while she was on tour working around Europe.
One miscarriage was in September of last year, while she was also on tour, saying it was ‘difficult’ at times.
Speaking on her Telling Everybody Everything podcast, Katherine said: ‘We lost another pregnancy in September at the beginning of the tour, which was fine, and then it was difficult, and then it became fine again.
‘I’m totally fine about it now. And not to be shrewd, but I looked in the calendar and I thought, oh, we would be due to have that baby in March, and I thought, that’s fine, I can do the Irish dates of my tour and land and I have a few specific dates off, I can make sure I have the baby on this specific day and then do the London dates of the Palladium with a small baby.’
She added: ‘I never find out at home, it’s always a surprise and then I always have to have surgical intervention, meaning it does not resolve itself on its own.
‘Some of the occasions we have had the products of conception tested to find out why we had a miscarriage. This time in September, I absolutely thought it was my fault because I was on tour.’
