She flashed a smile as she held hands with her boyfriend Joe, 39, who cut a casual figure in grey joggers and a quarterzip jacket.

It's so sad to know you'll never see what a beautiful little girl she is or who she will become.

'I hope your soul finds peace Harry [heartbreak emoji].'. MailOnline has contacted Katie's representatives for a comment. And in a heartfelt Instagram post at the beginning of January, Katie, who is a born-again Christian wrote: 'Happy new year to all. I've taken some time of [sic] social to just re align as well as grieve and just be present with my daughter and family. 'The year ended with sad news but I have every faith this year is the year for all answered prayers and healings.

Sharing a sweet post with her rarely-seen daughter, Thaiga, Katie wrote: 'It’s actually true, flamingos lose their pink while they are pregnant and it doesn’t return back for quite some time after. 'Motherhood is by far the most challenging, rewarding job I have ever had and it feels like now after nearly 2 years am only just getting the hang of it and coping a lot more being a single mum. 'Raising a child alone or with help has its challenges, a whole little life is dependent on you. It took me so long to get used to.
