    Katherine Ryan's teenage daughter is "not very excited" about her mother's pregnancy

    The Duchess star - who has Violet, 16, and Fred, four, and two-year-old Fenna with partner Bobby Kootstra is due to give birth to her fourth child later this year but admitted her eldest child doesn't think she should be "having any more kids"


    Katherine told Britain's Hello! magazine: "Violet is not very excited. She said: 'This is enough kids; what are you doing?' She has had mixed emotions through all my pregnancies.

    "She was happy about the first one and then with Fenna, she was annoyed at worst, indifferent at best.

    "But now we've come to an understanding. She understands she will love the baby but she doesn't think we should be having any more kids."

    Although the 42-year-old comic's pregnancy was a "bit of a surprise", Katherine and Bobby weren't particularly shocked.

    She said: "We don't use contraception, because we're old and we're financially solvent, and we like having kids. That's been the case for the past six years we've been together."

    Katherine joked she has a "fat girl summer" ahead of her amid her changing figure.

    She said: "I am well into my second trimester now, so it will be a fat girl summer for me. The entire hot summer, I will be large and in charge. "It's going to get ugly, but that's fine."

    Fenna was born at the family's north London home and while Katherine is hoping to have her next baby there too, she admitted Bobby isn't as keen.

    She said: "Fenna took the longest, but that was my favourite one. Bobby feels he has a bit of PTSD from that, because she was 'sunny side up' and got a bit stuck, but she was never in distress and was born fine."

    Katherine recently admitted she will be disappointed if she has another son.

    She told Heart Breakfast: "I have to say that I can't ever complain post-first trimester.

    "I'm quite big, so I think it might be a boy, so I'm feeling dejected about that, because men have just antagonised me all my life, even before they're born.

    "I will have it [gender disappointment] this time if it's a boy."
