Katie - who is already mum to Harvey, 16, from a previous relationship with Dwight Yorke, Junior, 13, and Princess, 11, with former husband, Peter Andre, and Jett, five, and Bunny, four, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler - revealed she was spurred into taking action when she got talking to a woman at her nail salon who works with an orphanage in Nigeria.

She said: "She was telling me how she was looking after this orphan and I told her I always wanted to adopt.

"It is so hard to adopt over here, I've looking into it for ages. The thing is, it’s easy to adopt abroad but it’s not easy to bring to them back in the country.

"Hopefully something will happen. I still want my own kids don't get me wrong and will definitely have more."

Katie is currently in a relationship with personal trainer, Kris Boyson, 30 but admitted she’d hit rock bottom during a tumultuous year in 2018.

She said: "I was held at gunpoint with Junior and Princess in South Africa, my mum being told she was dying, my German Shepherd died on my driveway, my horse died outside my house on the dual carriageway.

"Harvey had a kidnap threat, then I caught my husband cheating again. [It was] all in one go and I couldn’t trust anyone, so I self-medicated and it just took me in a different world where I could hide away."

She added: "There's enough bedrooms in the house, [for a child], but I'm looking for a smaller house. Other than that good things are happening."
