Kate Ferdinand has transformed herself from The Only Way is Essex’s girl-about-town to a doting wife and stepmum. Newly-wed Kate, 28, married former footballer Rio Ferdinand last September, four years after his wife Rebecca died from breast cancer aged 34.
She was a TOWIE favorite from 2015 to 2017 but quit the show after meeting Rio to focus on her stepchildren Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11 and eight-year-old Tia. Now Kate has stepped back into the spotlight with book Fitter Happier Healthier, which is about the battles with anxiety and body dysmorphia that blighted her teens and early 20s.
When we chat with Kate, she tells us about her life as a step mum, how she copes with anxiety, and how her stepchildren are desperate for another baby in the family...
Kate, many congratulations on your marriage! How was your dream wedding?
It was amazing. We had a beautiful time with our family and friends and it was everything I could have dreamt of. The kids were happy, I was happy, it just felt like a perfect special moment that we’ve got to where we are.
