Breaking down in tears before being escorted off the set, the 39-year-old was inconsolable as she told the panel: "He has the same condition as my mum. Not many people know about it... there should be more awareness."
She added: "Once you’re diagnosed it's too late. It’s incurable. You don’t know how you get it."
Speaking of her mother's diagnosis, Katie admitted the severity of the condition 'hadn't hit her' at first.
She said: "But Keith got in touch, he was trying to help my mum. I knew about [his condition] all along. I can't believe he's gone in six months."
