The star who has made headlines following the news she is divorcing her third husband Kieran Hayler made the surprising claim as the panel discussed how to react when your child thinks they are ugly.
Katie admitted she had felt she was ugly as a child before admitting: "I joke about this with Princess because she was ugly as a baby."She really was and we joked about it all the time. She even says it now when we look back at pictures."Her fellow panellist Nadia Sawalha chided: "Don't you mean she hadn't fully blossomed yet, Katie?"Katie replied: "I always say all the ugly ones at school, turn out to be the swans.""Even my youngest ones now need to grow into themselves."She then added: "Even newborns are like wrinkly old men. I’m only being honest. Love them but they are ugly."Her shocking comments came after Nadia revealed she did not agree with singer Pink's decision to publicly open up about her daughter calling herself "ugly" in a moving speech at the MTV Music Video Awards on Sunday. She explained: "I did think that was a long speech, I watched the whole thing."Her intentions were great but I did feel for that poor child. Pink just told the whole arena and the world about that."And she’s young she might not have understood why the arena laughed."Pink paid tribute to her "beautiful" eldest child during a poignant speech at the MTV Video Music Awards where she picked up the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. The 37-year-old recalled a moment recently when she'd been stunned to hear Willow describe herself as "ugly", and described how she responded by teaching her daughter the true meaning of beauty.
