The 55-year-old comedian revealed that she is now suffering health problems due to her consumption of alcohol in her twenties and she wishes she had never started drinking.
She told Closer magazine: "If I could speak to my younger self, I'd tell her, 'Don't think you need to get p***ed to be funny or to have a personality'. It f***ed up my early twenties. My life only got complicated once booze got involved.
"I've now got Addison's disease. I caught a bug which killed my adrenal glands, so I nearly died about four times."
Meanwhile, 'All Woman' star Kathy recently opened up about going through the menopause and how difficult she found it.
She said: "The menopause is probably the biggest b*****d amongst the female anatomy. Your hormones go apesh**.
"Actually what happened was I became quite isolated because I didn't want to go anywhere because I hated being a woman during my menopause. I was like 'why am I a woman?'. I couldn't bear it."
And Kathy, who has never married, opened up on her decision not to have children.
She said: "I went through moody broody... well, I met one person and I thought 'if I am going to have a child with anybody it is going to be with this guy'.
"Anyway it didn't happen because he had a girlfriend and I tried not to sleep with people if they had girlfriends.
"It was also really telling because I obviously didn't want it desperately because I would have made it happen.
"I love stay-at-home dads. I think that is so brilliant. If I knew in my 20s you could... meet someone and have kids and he would be happy to be the one the bringing up the children maybe I would have done it.
"But back when I was in my 20s, it was sort of unheard of. I look back and I have no regrets even though I love the babies. I have no regrets about not having my own now."
