‘I’ve been on a tumultuous journey with relationships throughout my life,’ she says. Now, the comedian lives with her daughter, Violet, and her partner Bobby Kootstra - it was a chance meeting, the childhood sweethearts were reunited when she returned to her hometown while filming an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? - but she’s first to admit things haven’t always been so rosy. One of the things Katherine is most looking forward to sharing in the book is relationship advice. And I know that a lot of people find me audacious.’ I think that I've lived my life, and continue to do so, in exactly the way that I think is correct. ‘In my work, when women specifically are honest and provocative and passionate, then we just get labelled audacious,’ Katherine adds. ‘I think it encapsulates me, my journey, my childhood and my career now perfectly because I've always been a little bit different.’ And working in comedy and the entertainment industry, ‘audacity’ is a word she’s used to hearing. So why The Audacity? ‘I just thought it was a perfect title,’ she says. I mean, you can't really write a memoir in your 20s,’ she pauses, before adding in her typical style, ‘it's a little bit ridiculous to write one in your 30s - but.’ 'But I think I needed to get to a place where I had enough of a wealth of experience so I could write such a thing. And so I had always considered writing a book one day,' she adds. ‘I like when women are confessional with me, I love when I feel like it's a friend. ‘I'm reading Lily Allen’s book right now - My Thoughts Exactly - and I just love it, love it, love it,’ Katherine tells Grazia.
The writer also promises to impart her wisdom in chapters like How To Potty Train Your Baby At 10 Months, How To Cut Off Your Racist Aunties and How To Co-Parent When You’re A Single Mum. Set for release in September, The Audacity will share her journey from working as a Hooters waitress in Canada to becoming one of Britain’s most recognisable faces in comedy.
