But now Katie is fitting fit, telling Closer magazine that she is feeling “more confident than ever” after shedding the pounds.
She said: “I was snacking on biscuits in the green room and eating flapjacks made by the crew when I was exhausted.
“I was usually between a size 8-10 when ordering clothes, but I was creeping up to a size 12, which isn’t bad at all, but it was bigger than I usually am.”
Earlier this week, Katie showed off her recent weight loss on the sea in Mexico, where she messed around with her pal in the sea clutching a beer.

She told the Star: “It’s going to be an exciting year. I’ve already had so many wonderful auditions.
