Katherine Ryan has revealed that she fell pregnant the first time she began trying for another baby.

The Canadian comedian, 39, announced that she was pregnant with a third child on an episode of her podcast Telling Everybody Everything in July.

Ryan, who is a regular on panel comedy shows in the UK, says it all happened very quickly.

‘I was shocked when it worked on the first try. I didn’t think that was going to happen, because the narrative is “you’re getting older now so [it’s unlikely]”,’ she revealed.

Ryan has admitted that she was worried about trying to get pregnant with a another baby after suffering two miscarriages in the past.

The comic told Heat magazine: ‘We had a little bit of trouble with losses before we had our son Fred. When it worked the very first time I was like “Oh…”.’

She also admitted that she had concerns about becoming pregnant at the age of 39, saying: ‘I [didn’t] think [it was] going to work because I’m 39 – I would have been 38 when I got pregnant.’

Further on in the interview, she revealed that she would not be telling anybody how far along in her pregnancy she is.

‘You should never tell people your due date. If you never tell them, they can never start hassling you around that time,’ she said.

The Duchess creator has two children already – son Fred, who recently turned one-year-old, and daughter Violet, who is 12.

Fred is Ryan’s first child with partner Bobby Kootstra, 38, while Violet is her daughter from a previous relationship.

Ryan has spent the last 24 hours being talked up as a potential replacement for Love Island host Laura Whitmore, who quit the show yesterday.

Fans and commentators have cited her ‘pearls of wisdom’ as a reason for why she should take over hosting duties on the ITV2 reality show.
