Katherine Ryan was supported by the British Transport Police after revealing that her 14-year-old daughter was sexually harassed on the tube last month.<\/p>\n
In August, the 40-year-old comedian spoke frankly about the unwanted male attention her teenage daughter Violet gets when she\u2019s out and about.<\/p>\n
Doting mum Katherine explained that during a recent day out, Violet and her 16-year-old cousin were \u2018sexually harassed by grown men everywhere they went\u2019.<\/p>\n
She also detailed one particularly disturbing moment in which her daughter and niece were filmed riding public transport.<\/p>\n
Chatting to Metro.co.uk<\/em><\/strong> this week, Katherine confirmed Lucy D\u2019Orsi, the Chief Constable of British Transport Police, had reached out about the incident.<\/p>\n \u2018They take this very seriously. They were hot on it,\u2019 the star shared.<\/p>\n She then read out the following message from Lucy: \u2018I\u2019m the Chief Constable of British Transport Police.<\/p>\n \u2018I listened to your podcast where you talked about Violet and her cousin\u2019s dreadful experience in London. That was completely unacceptable. I have responsibility for policing the tube and trains.\u2019<\/p>\n Reading aloud, Katherine continued: \u2018If you\u2019ve not reported this already, please do so. I\u2019m trying to encourage young women and girls to report unwanted behaviour.<\/p>\n \u2018The behaviour you describe can escalate into more serious violence. We take a zero-tolerance policy, happy to chat.\u2019<\/p>\n The TV star then noted: \u2018They reached out right away. I feel a lot better about my daughter travelling on the underground when I know it\u2019s policed by [someone like] Lucy.\u2019<\/p>\n Speaking on her\u00a0Telling Everybody Everything<\/strong>\u00a0podcast, Katherine\u00a0said last month: \u2018There\u2019s no mistaking Violet\u2019s age. She\u2019s 14, she has braces on her teeth. Anyone looking at these girls, no one is mistaking them for being adult women.<\/p>\n \u2018Maybe someone might hope that Lily\u2019s 18, nevertheless, you\u2019re a sick freak and you shouldn\u2019t be chatting to teenage girls the way you are.\u2019<\/p>\n Katherine was chatting to us this week about her new collaboration with Gousto.<\/p>\n The mum-of-three is the face of the recipe box company\u2019s lip-smacking new campaign, The Dinner Show.<\/p>\n The Dinner Show celebrates film and TV\u2019s most mouth-watering dishes, helping subscribers recreate scene-stealing snacks like *that* spaghetti dish from Lady and the Tramp and the Big Kahuna Burger (Pulp Fiction, anyone?) in the comfort of their own home.<\/p>\n With ingredients arriving straight on your doorstep and recipes starting at \u00a32.99 a portion, it\u2019s no wonder Katherine was raving about just how easy (and tasty) Gousto\u2019s new campaign has made her life.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m a super fan of Gousto,\u2019 raved Katherine.<\/p>\n \u2018We\u2019ve been getting the recipe boxes for years and years.\u2019<\/p>\n But what is it about The Dinner Show that Katherine loves so much?<\/p>\n \u2018My husband and I do this organically when we\u2019re watching films and TV when everyone\u2019s in bed.<\/p>\n \u2018Anytime I see something, like cannoli on The Sopranos, anything like that \u2013 even if it\u2019s a cartoon \u2013 I just crave it straight away.<\/p>\n \u2018We\u2019re always copying what we see, and that\u2019s what The Dinner Show is all about.\u2019<\/p>\n Katherine and her family have already settled on their favourite dishes, with her daughter loving the Upside Down umami grilled cheeseburger (based on, you guessed it, Stranger Things).<\/p>\n While we\u2019re on the subject of teenagers and cooking, Katherine adds of Gousto: \u2018I think it\u2019s a brilliant way to prepare teenagers for adult life \u2013 cooking for themselves.<\/p>\n \u2018It teaches you what goes together and what doesn\u2019t. Instinctively I\u2019m a better chef.\u2019<\/p>\n We\u2019re sold.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/metro-parent\/img\/fallback.png\")
