But despite trying app dating, Katie hasn’t been able to find a man right for her.

“I am on Raya, but it’s just not doing it for me because I want to meet someone face to face and have that chemistry.

“People slide into my DMs all the time. But I don’t reply because I don’t know what’s going through their heads or what their intentions are.”

She added: “In some ways, I wish I wasn’t on TV for that side of my life. I could go into a bar and know if someone is looking at me and likes me for me, not just because I am on the telly.”

However, there is a downside to app dating – she’s inundated with unsolicited rude pictures.

“I get sent dirty pics all the time, but it’s like… no, block, delete,” she said.

She plays a new mum called Becky who befriends Diane Hutchinson – but all is not as it seems.

There are hints that Becky is more of a villain than a friendly face for troubled Diane.
