I have been a fan of Kates ever since she started on TV. Love watching her on Click. I personally think she is much prettier than Lara Stone and would crawl over broken glass to have a date with Kate. Long may she remain on our screens. Can’t believe this beautiful woman is 42.

I regularly enjoy watching her on Click whilst feeling a little guilty at drooling over a girl seemingly in her 20's, but she's actually 4 years older than me! Awesome! Although I disagree about the stereotypical geeky tag, I much prefer the way she looks/dresses on Click. Good old Beeb for hiring so many fine women rather than Hollyoaks extras like the 'other' channels. There is life past 30, thanks. She’s 42??
