The 46-year-old former glamour model – who has Harvey, 22, Junior, 19, Princess, 17, Jett, 10, and nine-year-old Bunny from previous relationships – is currently dating former ‘Married at First Sight’ contestant JJ Slater and she admitted she’s sought medical help to conceive another baby, but with no success.
She told the Daily Mail newspaper: “I want more. I’m very maternal. If I could have another two or three, I’d be happy.”
Of her failed IVF attempts, she added: “My eggs are too old. I’ll get a donor egg.”
The reality TV star doesn’t think any of her previous relationships have been “healthy”.
She said: “I’ve realised that every single relationship I’ve been in has been domestic abuse, whether it’s mental abuse, physical abuse, narcissistic behaviour, gaslighting. Been there, done that. I’ve never had a healthy relationship.
“Because I’ve always been needy. Wanted validation. Rushed into things.
“I’ve done it all wrong. You don’t need to rush a relationship. You don’t need to get married. You don’t need to have a baby. Enjoy a relationship. Enjoy it with your friends and family. Why do I need a certificate? Why do I need to rush and get married? I don’t.”
In March, Katie was declared bankrupt for a second time due to an unpaid tax bill of £750,000 – which she says has now been settled – but she insisted her financial ups and downs are “normal”.
She said: “I’m lucky that I always earn good money. Everyone goes through bankruptcies. Everyone goes through liquidations. It’s normal and it just makes you stronger.
“At the end of the day, money means s*** to me because you can’t take it with you, and it doesn’t buy health.”
The former ‘Loose Women’ star candidly admitted she attempted suicide after the end of her marriage to Kieran Hayler, the father of her youngest two children.
She said: “I just didn’t want to be here any more. I thought, ‘What’s the point? No one’s here, no one’s helping, no one understands what I am feeling.’
“I woke up from it thinking, ‘What the f***? I can’t do this to my kids.’ I was at breaking point.”
The attempt led to Katie checking in for treatment at the Priory as she realised she’d been experiencing a breakdown and had turned to cocaine to escape.
She said: “It [cocaine] is the dirtiest thing. When you’re not in a good place, it taps you on the shoulder and says, ‘I’m here, I can help you.’
“To me, it wasn’t a drug that made me want to party. It was more a way to block everything out, to suppress me completely.
“I was like this. It was like I was in rigor mortis.”
