We’re in North London with our favourite showbiz couple - Katherine Ryan and Bobby Kootstra, with their dogs Manny and Cardi B.
We adore Katherine and Bobby here on Walking The Dog, and we were thrilled to take a walk with them to get to the heart of their relationship and their attitude towards family life. We find out if it’s possible to have TOO much self confidence, how Bobby was tricked into seeing a therapist and how attachment parenting has affected their relationship.

Today, we’re going on a walk with showbiz’s most fabulous couple… it’s Katherine Ryan and Bobby K!
We’re pretty much obsessed with Katherine and Bobby’s love story… which started when they were at high school together in their hometown of Sarnia, Ontario. Twenty years later, they reconnected in a very rom-com style when Katherine was filming Who Do You Think You Are.
We met Katherine and Bobby with their dogs Manny and Cardi B in North London - we discussed everything from the pressure boys feel when they experience the death of their fathers, how Katherine’s daughter Violet reacted to Bobby joining their family and the secret to their relationship success.

Join Emily and Raymond in Kew with one of the nation’s most respected news presenters - Krishnan Guru-Murphy.
Krishnan is a journalist and the lead presenter of Channel 4 News - and we were thrilled to meet him and his chihuahua - Chubby Chops! Chubby is very sweet boy with a very self sufficient and independent spirit… he and Ray didn’t exactly hit it off - but that’s what you get when you put two introvert dogs together!
We had such a fascinating walk with Krishnan - finding out all about his childhood in a medical family - and how his passion for performing led him away from following in his father’s footsteps to become a doctor. There are so many interesting facets to Krishnan - and we found out that there is a lot more to him than just being the king of news…
