Speaking about this at the DocFest event ahead of her Sky show dropping next month, Katie got candid and confessed: “When I had my breakdown, I don’t think people really knew how bad it was, and how it affected people in my life.
“To hear that my loved ones cried and how much they loved me is like a wake-up call for me.
“There are some really dark moments [in the series] but at the same time, uplifting.
“People have to remember that it’s actually my life, so if you’re exhausted just watching it, imagine how exhausting it is for my little pea brain.
“But I really enjoyed doing it.
“I said they should do 10 parts and they wanted to, but we were lucky to push it to four [episodes].
“There’s still so much you could put in it. Even from what you’re reading today.”
Elsewhere at the event, Katie said: “I’m an open book.
“When [the team] came to me about the documentary, I got excited because something about me and my life is perfect.
“The media narrative is so different to what I’m really like but as you say, every day, even now, there’s always something.
“My life could actually be a soap story – it just doesn’t stop. I’m normal but it’s a weird world I live in. I can’t explain it.”
She also touched on being authentic.
“I have nothing to hide, and when they asked me, ‘are there any areas you don’t want us to go?’, I said, no! You can talk to absolutely anyone you want and you can talk to me about anything you want,” she confessed.
“Luckily the duty of care was amazing. Sometimes after two hours [of interviews], I couldn’t do any more.
“There are moments where I’ve had therapy to get over some of the things in my life, and I had to relive them.
“But I think this is what makes a good show, and I love watching documentaries.
“So many people are so manufactured and they’re in on the edits, so they look like a polished turd, basically. I am not that!
“Even I’m cringing at some of the stuff in the first episode! I haven’t had time to reflect on anything in my life because there’s always the next thing, and the next thing.”
