Kate said, "God, it's just wonderful. Your mind completely drifts off. You can't think about anything, you can't make lists in your head, you're just looking at the bubbles underneath you? My first words when I resurfaced were, 'am I dead?' Yes, I thought I'd died.”

She revealed that her real-life husband Ned Rocknroll helped her to learn free diving. She said, "You have to have someone there. Ned trained with me and he got quite good at the breath holding as well. But he did black out.”
