Katherine Ryan has revealed the extreme lengths she went to in order to secure Taylor Swift tickets for her teenage daughter Violet – by hiring her former midwife to queue outside Wembley Stadium in the early hours of the morning.

While thousands of eager fans braved the long lines themselves, the quick-witted comedian ensured her 14-year-old avoided the hᴀssle.

As Violet stayed in a plush H๏τel near Wembley Stadium, dressed in an outfit personally curated by Katherine’s stylist, the midwife took her place in the queue from 4am.

‘I wanna give everyone in my life a premium experience,’ Katherine declared at a screening of At Home with Katherine Ryan at the five-star Soho H๏τel this morning.

And the comedian made no apologies for her lavish approach.

‘I’m just finding a solution to an obvious problem,’ she insisted. ‘I mean, it’s like discovering penicillin! I’m like the Marie Curie of Taylor Swift concerts!’

The stand-up star, who became a mother at 25 and raised Violet as a single parent, later rekindled her romance with childhood sweetheart Bobby Kootstra.

Now 41, she and Bobby share two younger children – Fred, 3, and Fenna, 2.

While Katherine insists she never found single motherhood difficult, she admitted today that she finds it hard to set boundaries with her eldest.

‘Before Bobby came into our lives, we existed in this benevolent democracy, and we were like sisters,’ she explained.

‘Violet and I had a wonderful life for a decade, we went on so many adventures, and I just want to keep that up. Her life has changed so much in the last five years.

‘I don’t like to say no to her, I kind of resist that. I don’t understand why I should say no to her – I still struggle with that.’

And the approach has led to one particularly unexpected purchase.

In episode two of At Home with Katherine Ryan, viewers will see Violet plead for a pet cat, only to be repeatedly refused.

But despite Katherine’s firm stance, Violet took matters into her own hands – ordering a cat online and bringing it home anyway.

‘A fifteen-year-old doesn’t just go out and buy a cat, but that’s what happened,’ Katherine admitted during the Q&A after the screening.

‘We still have the cat,’ she added.

In the same episode, the usually quick-witted star breaks down in tears as she reveals why she struggles to say no to her daughter.

‘I wouldn’t want her to just leave,’ she confessed in a particularly emotional moment.

‘I left really young, and I know that people can just leave.’

The comedian, who has spent years showering Violet with attention and luxuries, also confessed that she sometimes wonders whether her daughter resents her for getting married and having more children.

‘I used to just give her whatever she wanted. And sometimes, if she doesn’t like that I got married and had other kids… I just want everyone to have what they want,’ she said, her voice breaking.

She also revealed that she struggles with ‘working mum guilt’, admitting she feels Violet got the best version of her as a mother.

‘I’m not with Fenna and Fred as much as I was with Violet, and I have guilt about that,’ she confessed.

‘In a way, Violet got a better mother than Fenna and Fred are getting. I’m around a lot less.’

But if there’s one area where the comedian has put her foot down, it’s social media.

The series sees Katherine and Bobby grapple with Violet’s obsession with social media, as the teen racks up over ten hours of screen time a day on platforms like TikTok.

‘Violet is a concern of mine always, I kept her off social media for a decade. All of her pᴀsswords are communal, Bobby knows her pᴀsswords and I know her pᴀsswords,’ the mother-of-three confessed.

‘And we do take it at night and we could spot-check it at any time and she knows that.’

It comes after Violet posted a Christmas present haul from her mother worth £3,000 on TikTok.

Her account has over 38,000 followers and 4.6million likes.

In the video, Violet excitedly unwrapped designer items, including three Ralph Lauren polo jumpers worth £165 each, a pink Gucci scarf priced at £335, and a Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk makeup set worth £46.

Also among the gifts was a Kodak Mini SH๏τ camera (£122), multiple LuluLemon items worth hundreds of pounds in total, and a Ninja Slushi maker (£300).

At one point, the teen held up a jumper that read ‘Favourite Daughter’ as she joked: ‘My mum says she loves all her favourite children equally – apart from the first one, who she loves the most, which is me!’

‘I’m not bragging I’m so grateful for everything! pls don’t make fun of me for this,’ Violet captioned the video she shared of her huge present haul on TikTok.

Over four new episodes, At Home with Katherine Ryan will see the star juggle motherhood with her nationwide stand-up tour while tackling everything from teen social media addiction to marital trust.

And the self-proclaimed ‘Marie Curie of Taylor Swift concerts’ has big plans for the future.

‘We need another series because I will be getting a facelift,’ she joked.

‘Fourth baby, a facelift—I’ve got a lot in the pipeline.’

At Home with Katherine Ryan returns to U&W on Monday, February 10.
