Katherine Ryan (Part Two)

This week on Walking The Dog, it's the one-and-only Katherine Ryan! We met Katherine in a location in Hertfordshire that was far too muddy for someone as glamorous as she... although Katherine dealt with it VERY well.... much better than Raymond. Katherine caught us up with her three dogs: Manny, Meg and new addition Cardi B - and they are all absolutely adorable!
After encountering a few hurdles with the locals and the mud, Katherine tells us all about the games she played with her sisters growing up, what it was like to be interviewed by Louis Theroux and whether she really does tell everybody everything.
