CHAPTER FIFTEEN

I WILL SURVIVE

It had long been one of my ambitions to have my own production company. Now that I had left CAN Associates, I was free to do that. Just after I’d returned from the Maldives I’d asked Diana to get in contact with Zai Bennett, ITV’s Director of Digital Channels and Acquisitions, and tell him that I wanted to film my own series. Apparently he was surprised to hear it. There had been so many negative stories about me in the press that he thought some of them might be true and that I might actually have lost the plot! But when he met me and saw how down-to-earth and normal I am, he realised what rubbish the stories were. I told him that I wanted to move on with my life; wanted to get on with filming my own series right away. And by ‘right away’ I really did mean in the next couple of weeks – starting with the children’s birthday parties followed by my trip to Ibiza. I think he was pretty taken aback by how soon I wanted to start, but he was more than happy to sign me up.

I formed my own production company with Mark Wagman, a former ITV executive, calling it Pricey Media, and immediately began filming for What Katie Did Next. I wanted my new series to show the real me, and how I was living my life after my marriage had ended. I wanted to reveal my fun side and to prove that the press stories were complete bollocks – I was just a woman trying to get on with her life after a marriage break-up, not some bitch slapper from hell! While I wanted to have more control about how I was filmed, I was going to leave the editing to the director. I just wanted the show to be honest. I didn’t want to be edited in a way which always made me look good; people could see both good and bad and judge for themselves.

I’d had such a miserable experience filming the final series of our reality show, Katie and Peter: Stateside. I found it especially painful watching the programmes when they went out after he and I had split up. And I think it made depressing viewing for everyone else, watching a dying relationship and all those bitter, nasty rows. But there was no point in brooding about it, however much it upset me.

Setting up new work projects definitely helped keep me sane during the weeks and months that followed the break-up, along with the support of my friends and family and my own determination that I would not fall apart, or sit in my room stuffing my face with biscuits and crying as one celeb mag would have had you believe. I did go and see the therapist I had contacted when I was suffering from post-natal depression, just to make sure that I was staying calm and clear-headed. After we had talked, she told me it was clear that I had accepted that my marriage had ended.
