The 42-year-old star felt suicidal at times last year, but Katie believes that her beloved kids - Harvey, 18, Junior, 16, Princess, 14, Jett, seven, and Bunny, six - gave her a reason to continue living.

She shared: "I can’t imagine not being a mum - it’s what I live for. My kids basically saved my life to be honest. I wouldn't be here if it weren’t for them.

"I wanted to commit suicide last year but the reason I didn’t, every time I’d get close I’d think of my kids faces, that’s what stopped me.

"I used to think of their faces going ‘no mum’ and I would picture them crying if I was no longer around for them.

"If I didn’t have my kids I wouldn’t be here."

Katie admitted she'd be particularly concerned for Harvey - who has a number of disabilities, including blindness and Prader-Willi syndrome - and is worried how he would cope without her.

She told The Sun newspaper: "Harvey wouldn’t know what to do without me - it would be my worst nightmare."

Meanwhile, Katie has created a new petition in a bid to curb online trolling.

The outspoken star has called for new regulations that'll require social media users to verify their identity before opening an account.

She said: "Keep signing the petition Track A Troll. Not only will it help me getting trolls to stop trolling Harvey but also anyone out there who is being trolled."

Katie later warned: "If you are a troll we will find you.

Katie previously launched a digital petition calling for the introduction of a register of offenders.

She said at the time: "People of all ages and backgrounds suffer every day, including my family - especially my son Harvey.

"This abuse includes racism, homophobia, body shaming and a whole range of other hate speech."

The petition led to the UK government launching an enquiry into online abuse and it concluded that self-regulation of social media had failed.
