Katherine Ryan was so 'depressed' after teen split from now-husband Bobby Kootstra that she refused to evacuate apartment during fire scare - leaving her dad terrified she had died


The comedian, 40, and her husband were childhood sweethearts in their native Canada , before they parted ways for 20 years.

The TV presenter has now opened up about their teenage romance, admitting that she was so heartbroken by their split that she once refused to leave her dad's apartment during a fire evacuation (pictured with Bobby at prom) She explained she had been 'on watch' following the breakup, which coincided with a series of difficult family tragedies and became so down that she could barely eat or leave the house, comparing herself to a 'sad skeleton' (pictured in February) Katherine has previously revealed that Bobby ended their relationship despite them being deeply in love, because he knew they were too young and needed to experience life first (pictured as teens left and now right)
