But the TV personality called her body “old” and admitted “I’m ageing on the inside”.Katie told listeners: “When Five are coming back and the Boyzone thing – did you see that? So we’re all looking so much older and I think, ‘they’re the same age as me’ but I still don’t feel I’m old.“But I know I am because even my body inside is going through the menopause, so I’m not a young spring chicken, it doesn’t matter how young I think I look, what tracksuit I put on and whatever.
“My body is old! It’s scary isn’t it? Inside my body it is ageing but the outside is fresh,” she said, referencing her numerous surgeries and tweakments.Earlier this month, Katie told The Sun that she had a miscarriage at the age of 46.The mum-of-five, who had been told she had just a 1% chance of conceiving, unexpectedly fell pregnant with boyfriend JJ Slater over Christmas – but a scan later confirmed she had tragically lost the baby.
She has now vowed to go back to IVF and try for a sixth child – and will not stop trying until she is medically “too old” to do so.In an emotional interview with The Sun, Katie hopes to help raise awareness and support for mothers going through similar – and has teamed up with the UK’s leading pregnancy and research support charity, Tommy’s. She says: “It’s been hard.
Did I cry or not? I don’t really know, but I was just really sad because we went from joy and relief that I could get pregnant naturally, to confusion, heartbreak and sadness.“Last year I’d been told I was perimenopausal and that there was only a 1% chance I could get pregnant naturally, so me and JJ didn’t really think I would. We weren’t even trying.
“But then on Boxing Day I missed a period, and I’m usually so regular every 28 days, and the symptoms started: my boobs were sore, I felt bloated, a little bit moody and started feeling nauseous.“I did loads of pregnancy tests because I wanted to be sure, and JJ kept asking me if it was real. He was so, so excited.
“But the line on the tests wasn’t getting any darker, which I knew from previous experience it should have been, so I started to worry.“We went to a clinic for blood tests and a scan and the scan showed where the baby was, but that it wasn’t alive any more.“It’s been devastating.
