Katherine and Bobby appeared in the fifth series alongside Denise Van Outen and Duncan James, Fearne Cotton and Gok Wan and Davina McCall and Michael Douglas.
The mum-of-three loved being on the sofa while Bobby “came out of his shell”.
But despite having a prom on the Channel 4 programme, the star isn’t sure if the couple will get back together.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Katherine said: “I loved working with Bobby.

“I love when people get to know Bobby he comes out of his shell a little bit more. He’s really, really funny.
“I’m not sure we were the best for Celebrity Goggle Box just because we were new and there are so many other families and couples, I don’t think we were very involved in it.
“I loved being on it and I wish it was more useful to me.
“We haven’t been called back so far, but that’s fine. It’s like I’m not for everyone. I liked the opportunity because it’s a series we watch…
“But I wonder how I can be funnier. You know, I’m not going to lie and pretend I didn’t notice I was on it for five seconds.
“It’s okay, it’s okay to like to participate and be on something for five seconds.

“I’m not as funny as Ronan and Martin Kemp, maybe not as funny as Ryland and his mum.
“Oh well, I still liked the show, it was an honor to be a part of it.”
The Sun has contacted Channel 4 for comment.
Katherine is very busy these days juggling her job, three children and her relationship with Bobby.
Mother’s guilt
The funnywoman explained that she “can’t really get away from mother guilt” as she tries to balance it all.
Katherine told us: “I’m shouting from the rooftops that you can’t have it all.
“I think it’s the wrong message to be like you can have it all because I’m one of the most privileged people at work. I have a job that’s not a real job, but I’m still working on the side, I’m losing sleep.
“I don’t have enough to go around. I feel guilty when I go to work because my kids don’t have the same.
“I feel guilty when I’m with my kids because my tour wants me on the road.
“Maybe I’m not fully focused on work. It’s my dream like my children are a blessing.
“So, yeah, you can’t really escape mom guilt, and my husband doesn’t suffer from dad guilt in the same way.
“So I’ve had to consciously work on being better with, no, it’s okay that my kids are with a nanny today. They love her. I’ll see them at this and that time. I’ll be up with them all the fucking night.
“You know, like I’m working as hard as I can and yes, I think the best thing a child can have is a calm and peaceful guardian.
“So I try not to feel too guilty, but I do.”
Juggling her relationship, work and children
Katherine has previously spoken about co-sleeping with Bobby as they are proud parents to Fenna Grace, 14 months, and Fred, two.
Katherine is also mother to Violet, 14.
The star admitted that they find time for each other and that she managed to keep the spark alive.
Katherine told us, “We find time in the day for intimacy.
“I’ve also been very open about it and talked about having sex about twice a month. That number has gone up.
“But I think when you talk about keeping the spark going, and especially when I look at my friends and women that I admire who have been in longer relationships, I think.”
When asked how they keep the spark alive, she added: “I feel like I think it’s important to be intimate in whatever form of intimacy means to you.
“But, but I think the spark can be maintained in a number of ways.
“So, like cooperation and respect, like mutual respect, I love my husband.
” Like when he cooks for me, I like my husband, and when I see him being funny, present and gentle with our children, that’s why I like my husband.
“So, like what turns women on—like a whole load of complicated laundry.
“It keeps the spark alive for me. And I think with men from my understanding, I think they keep the spark alive for them by liking someone who expresses sexual interest in them, is kind and happy.
“And I think I embody that in our relationship.”
Another way they can spend time together is at the end of the day over dinner.
Gousta Ambassador Katherine enjoys traditional values such as the whole family sitting around the table to spend quality time together.
Katherine joked: “It’s mostly my husband and I’ve moved out of the kitchen, a lot of the time.
“I’m jealous of him because by one, I know he’s alone in the kitchen with a glass of wine.”
