In 2011 it was reported Take That singer Jason Orange and Catherine were growing close after teaming up together for a Comic Relief sketch about spoof band Fake That alongside James Corden,

Alan Carr, John Bishop and David Walliams. They were later pictured together as they went to support former Britain's Got Talent judge David at his charity swim along the River Thames.

But it was reported that their romance had ended in 2012. A source told The People: "Jason is a very private person and after it came out that he and Catherine were getting closer

together it did affect their relationship. There was a lot of pressure on them and it caused them to go their separate ways for a bit but they are still very good friends." Catherine

then went on to date The One Show presenter Adrian Chiles after they met on his programme That Sunday Night Show in 2011. They were then seen kissing as they enjoyed trip to America together

in 2012. Catherine, who has a daughter from her relationship with stage manager Twig Clark, later confirmed their romance and was pictured on the former Match of The Day 2 presenter's

motorbike. But they ended their romance in 2013. At the time, sources close to the couple said that 'work commitments' were behind the break-up. CATHERINE TATE'S HIDDEN HEALTH

CONDITION When she was a child, Catherine suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). She previously explained: “I couldn’t have a jumper on the floor when I went to bed because my

mum’s name is Josephine – it begins with J, so that was my mum lying on the floor." Catherine has also spoken about suffering from occasional panic attacks. She also suffered from

post-natal depression following the arrival of her daughter Erin by emergency surgery in 2003 and quickly returning to work on The Catherine Tate Show. She told the Mirror: "I was so

raw for the first year, it was irrational. I was putting together the first series six months after giving birth and I couldn't think about it. I went on autopilot and waded through my

life. "What drove me bananas was trying to hide it from people. So the solution was - OK, I'll go write a comedy show." She added: "I hadn't got help for the

depression during the first series - I just put it on hold. It wasn't until the end of series two that I sorted it out." Catherine sank deeper into depression and her condition

worsened when she was unable to breastfeed properly after the caesarean. She explained: "It was a 'baby friendly hospital' so they refused you formula milk except in

emergencies." Article continues below CATHERINE TATE'S REAL NAME Catherine's real last name is Ford but she changed her name when she got her Equity card as an actress. She

previously revealed she had chosen her new surname after the character of Jessica Tate, played by Katherine Helmond, from the American sitcom television series Soap. Her mother, Josephine,

was a florist. Catherine has said that the character of Margaret in The Catherine Tate Show, who shrieks at the slightest of disturbances, is based largely on her mother. Catherine never

knew her father as he left very early on in her life.
