Despite losing her role in the BBC show, Katherine continues to pursue her blossoming comedy career.
The comic recently spoke to MailOnline about being a woman in a male-dominated field, explaining that she needed to find her own niche in comedy, something she felt was an advantage rather than a hindrance.
She explained, “I think I was in the unique positions of never being able to fit into a space that wasn’t mine or trying to change myself.
“I’ve always been pretty authentic to a mistake. Even when I tried to be a cheerleader or tried to be quiet because I thought that was the kind of woman people would like, I always came out as myself.”

She continued, “So I think I probably took advantage of the male-dominated industry when I started.
‘I am a great example of pedestal white feminism! I got to where I am today partly because I was different.
She advised, “Lean on your authentic self, you will never be as successful if you are making an impression of someone else.
“And forget those guys, I think they are more gladiators with each other than with us. It’s great to be different in this industry and if the guys want to ignore you and think their only competition is with each other then they’re going to be wrong.
Katherine is also kept busy by her three children, Fenna Grace, four months, Fred, 22 months, and Violet, 13.
