Katherine Ryan is not only the UK’s most popular female panellist, writer of a hilarious Netflix sitcom and the peak of professionalism in awkward situations, remember when rapper Slowthai made a completely uninvited move on her on stage at the NME awards last year? Shudder.
She’s also an outspoken feminist icon who’s not afraid to own her femininity and bring the menfolk in her industry down a peg or two.
She’s become synonymous with uber glam, rocking killer fashion and make-up looks alongside her refreshing honesty about having cosmetic work.
And on the topic, she’s super clear: we should do what makes us feel good, but it’s best to be honest about it.

As a mum to an eleven-year-old daughter, Katherine’s approach makes perfect sense.
Speaking about The Kardashians and their numerous procedures, she said on Vicky Pattison’s podcast, The Secret To, “Don’t treat me like an idiot, there’s a point where we have to be honest and share the wealth.
“Because if people do choose to participate in this trend of changing your body, which is a really contentious issue and I’m not saying anyone should, but there’s a danger of if you don’t know who to go to, then you put yourself in harm’s way, and fly somewhere and meet someone who doesn’t have a licence and I don’t want that for people.”
Has Katherine Ryan had plastic surgery?
She has – a breast augmentation in 2004.
Since then, she’s experimented with filler and botox, and earlier this year hit out at a fan who accused her of “going too far” with plastic surgery.
"Hi Clare, I got breast implants in 2004 and nothing else. Suck my d--k b--ch. Have a great day!" she replied to a private message on Instagram.
When another fan then accused her of lying about a nose job, she hit back, “‘I would honestly say if I did. You’re bad at this.”

What has Katherine Ryan said about plastic surgery?
Speaking to The Evening Standard in 2018, she said, “I’ve had filler in my lips, jawline and chin. If everyone was transparent [about it] there would be a lot less fuss. I’ve got great skin because of laser facials and painful ultrasound and needles in my face.
“If you want to do those things, why not? The thing I want to avoid is like when I was younger and I got my lips done in an amateur’s basement for cash and they’ve always been wonky since then. If we spoke about it more, we’d go to the right people.”
