She has a sweet tooth, and her guilty pleasure is chocolate – but not bars with raisins or nuts as she is ‘only in it for the chocolate’.Katie’s other unusual treat is the juice from gherkins, beetroot and silver-skin onions, which she drinks on the Friday night.While Katie has a broad pallet, she added that she hates canned tuna, so much so that she ‘refuses’ to date anyone that does.The star’s comfort food is typically chicken nuggets, chips and beans – as it takes her back to her childhood from the 90s.

I’d had pioneering treatment with incredible results, so when I would go out somewhere with dark lighting, where people were very drunk, often they weren’t able to see what I fully looked like,’ she said.’So I met this guy and we messaged for quite a long time. He suggested we go out for dinner. I hated going out for dinner because I had a lot of oesophageal damage and often I’d choke when I ate, so the whole idea of eating in front of someone on a first date was nerve-wracking, but I agreed.’ She shared a gigling snap with her followers The incredible views were on display as well as her figure She also shared a snap of Bella and Penelope playing in the sand The date took place in summer so it was daylight, the star said, and she realised straight away the man had not realised she had a facial disfigurement when first meeting her in the bar.The date had chosen the dinner location and ordered a three-course meal, Katie added.’He said, ”I’ve seen some people I know over there, I’m going to go and say hi to them and I’ll be back”. He didn’t come back.’Katie said she ran through ‘ridiculous excuses’ as she sat at the table, considering if the man might have suddenly become ill.She didn’t have a lot of money at the time – living on disability benefit after the attack – but ended up paying the £740 bill on her own.Shockingly, she said the man got back in touch with her years later after seeing her on Strictly Come Dancing, not to offer an apology but to joke: ‘We must catch up!’The mother said she wishes she had replied with a more assertive response but simply replied: ‘Lol yeah, let’s do that. Haha.’
