Katherine Ryan shares rare photos with husband Bobby Kootstra and her four children as they celebrate baby daughter Holland's gold-themed christening

Katherine Ryan and Bobby Kootstra christened their one-year-old daughter, Holland, over the weekend. The comedian, 43, took to Instagram to share some rare family snaps with all four of her children at St. Joseph's Church in Cork, Ireland. Katherine, who welcomed Holland in October last year, opted for co-ordinated gold looks and joked her outfit theme was Kerrygold butter. Her son Fred, four, and daughter Fenna, three, looked adorable in matching coats, while her 16-year-old daughter Violet rocked a gold minidress and camel coat. Proud mum Katherine, who rocked a sparkly mididress from Self Portrait, beamed as she held Holland in her arms outside the church. Fans wrote in the comments: 'obsessed with these gold looks!' and 'How you manage to get everyone to dress in a theme and make it look so classy is truly magic'. Last week, Katherine said she feels a mixture of 'grief and relief' after Russell Brand was convicted of rape and faces up to ten years in jail.She was one of the first celebrities to publicly raise concerns about Russell's sexual behaviour and the first star to confront him to his face, almost a decade ago.

I hope not.'The comedians were both judges on Comedy Central's Roast Battle in 2018, when Ryan repeatedly called him a 'sexual predator' on camera. But the remarks were cut by producers and never broadcast, and Brand left the show after six episodes.In 2022, she spoke out again and claimed in an interview with Louis Theroux that she knew of a 'predator' working in the entertainment industry and that it was an 'open secret' who it was.She said she could not name the male comic because it would be a 'litigious minefield', but indicated she had called the individual a 'predator' to 'his face', prompting widespread speculation she was referring to Brand.A year later, in 2023, she spoke at a Royal Television Society event as several women accused Russell of rape, sexual abuse and degrading behaviour. Referring to the controversy, Katherine made a pointed comment that there was an 'elephant in the room', before insisting she was joking about her own weight. Weeks later she said there was a 'dangerous comic' working in British showbusiness during an appearance on Desert Island Discs where she said she had 'let him know under no uncertain terms what I think of him'.Reflecting on Russell's guilty verdicts on her podcast Telling Everybody Everything, Ryan said: 'It really made me feel quite dysregulated again, caught off guard, emotional and in awe of the survivors, who also had nothing to gain. Fans wrote in the comments: 'obsessed with these gold looks!' and 'How you manage to get everyone to dress in a theme and make it look so classy is truly magic'Last week, Katherine said she feels 'grief and relief' after Russell Brand was convicted of rape and sexual assault.

She added: 'I will never be someone who, like, dances on graves. There has been some justice done today. There's a level of relief, but there's grief alongside relief. 'Everything's nuanced, and it was proved in court that a terrible thing happened, and that means that a terrible thing happened.'I just think again and again about people who have been hurt, and who have to carry that, who've carried that around long enough, and will continue to carry that in some way, regardless of what justice is done.'This verdict came because women were hurt, and I worry as well about what happens next.'Because he's obviously spent a long time cultivating this idea that the establishment have invented these claims against him, and he's martyred himself to a growing audience who really still think that it is the courageous survivors who are the villains in this story.'I just… I don't know if you can podcast from jail. I hope not.'She continued: 'Today there are a lot of women speaking, like the way we always do, privately and quietly, the way we've learned to do, to avoid being attacked and to keep each other safe, and a lot of those women feel a very nuanced mix of emotions today.'Katherine also blasted the actions of Russell's barrister, who launched into a tirade at a journalist outside the courtroom.Ian Winter KC confronted Sunday Times journalist Rosamund Urwin, whose investigation led to Brand's victims coming forward, telling her: 'I hope you are pleased with yourself.'Ms Urwin responded: 'I'm pleased justice has been done,' before Mr Winter said: 'Well, it wasn't. You f***** it.''Congratulations,' he added.She said: 'That was so unprofessional, so inappropriate, so aggressive. Really sickening.'During the trial, Mr Winter had argued that reporting of allegations against Brand by Ms Urwin and others had 'poisoned the well', and rendered it impossible for him to have a fair trial.The trial judge, Mr Justice Bennathan, dismissed an attempt by Brand to block his trial from taking place because of negative media coverage. Brand is facing years behind bars after being found guilty of one rape and three sexual assaults.
