It was really fun.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\nAshley then asked: &#8216;Stephen Hawking, yes, did he try it on with you?&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>\nKatherine, 41, responded: &#8220;I tried it on with him because I saw in the film about him that he&#8217;s kind of a ladies man.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But then, quite hurtfully, he just kind of went quiet, and then his assistant came up and said, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;m sorry the professor&#8217;s tablet has run out of battery. He can&#8217;t talk to you anymore.&#8221;&#8216;<\/p>\n<p>\nA &#8220;mugged off&#8221; Katherine looked up to verify what his assistant said, but she found out that &#8220;if the chair is moving, the battery is working&#8221;, meaning he could have continued to communicate with her if he&#8217;d been interested.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I was mugged off, and I know it.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;He truly is a genius, but then I googled it and there&#8217;s a backup battery for the tablet in the chairs. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So if the chair is moving the battery is working.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe comedienne entered a civil partnership with Bobby Kootstra in a ceremony in Denmark in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\nThey have a son called Fred, three, a daughter named Fenna, two, and Katherine has a 15-year-old daughter called Violet from a previous relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd Katherine has previouslyopened up on her hopes to expand her brood but admitted time is not on her side.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the second series of their fly-on-the-wall U+W reality TV show &#8216;At Home With Katherine Ryan&#8217;, she said: &#8220;It\u2019s not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But we talk a lot about male fertility as well, which is on a steep decline. But I would still like a fourth baby.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We are so blessed to have the kids that we do have. Having children is not for everyone, but I personally really like making people. I think it\u2019s a superpower, if you can do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/katherine-ryan-tried-professor-stephen-hawking-1417468.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>25 April 2025 Katherine Ryan &#8220;tried it on&#8221; with Professor Stephen Hawking before his assistant claimed his &#8220;tablet died&#8221; and he could no longer talk to her.
