They told me this storyline and I thought this is amazing, please do this.
Then we talked about the ending of it and I was just sat there and I said, “I want her to die.”
Katie continued: I know it sounds very sadistic but I wanted her to die because thats real life and life isnt a fairytale.
Loads of women are dying, so many people are affected by cancer and this storyline triggers so many emotions for so many people because its absolutely heartbreaking.
