Referring to the performance on Instagram in January, Carol wrote: “My girl katie.science. grafter Brilliant. Scientist. Strange. Amazing. She earned her PhD in nanotechnology from the University of Cambridge and couldn’t be more hungover proud.

She added: “Katie’s research looks at how it can then be delivered specifically to the tumor. It uses nanotechnology and specifically gold nanoparticles.
The star continued, “Hopefully this will eventually help cancer patients avoid the all-encompassing effects of chemotherapy. She is part of a large research team working at @cambridgeuniversity and Astra Zeneca.
“So here I am as her mother. So proud. I know all the struggles she overcame and the hard work she put in to become this fine young woman.
“I don’t want this feeling to stop. She’s the best in the world… and honestly, so am I, and so is her little brother, Cameron. What a lucky mother I am. Being a single parent is not so bad.”
Kate is the eldest of Carol’s two children from her 10-year marriage to her second husband, business consultant Patrick King.
