Katherine Ryan regrets tracking down sex workers and married women who slept with her exes behind her back.

The 38-year-old comedian - who is now happily married to former high school flame Bobby Koostra after the pair reconciled two decades after they split - has admitted she took a direct approach when she was cheated on in past relationships.
She told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column: "I’ve been cheated on with sex workers and with married women. I have been cheated on and lied to a lot.
“I was unkind to the women. I regret that now. Now I know it was not their fault and sex work is work. The women didn’t know about me.
“I didn’t shout at the women but I was cross with them and I would text them and s*** shame them ... but I didn’t know better back then. I have since apologised.”
The comedian revealed one ex even created a secret identity so he could tell her stories of him being unfaithful without coming clean about his infidelity.
She added: "One partner was so proud of it and wanted to tell me so he created a fake character called Adam Diablo.
“He would tell me what he was doing like s******* girls in the toilets and say it was this guy Adam.
"It took me years to work out that he didn’t exist, it was just him doing these things.”
Last month, Katherine hosted new ITV2 dating show 'Ready To Mingle' and she previously promised the show would "expose liars".
She said: "I think 'Ready To Mingle' specifically is my favourite format because of its level of honesty.
"There are liars, but there’s so much transparency about what the game is, what the challenge is and it’s just a whole fresh take where we put all the cards on the table.
"That’s what makes it so entertaining and compelling. You don’t really know who is telling you the truth."
