Comedian Katherine Ryan has described how her boyfriend fought off an intruder at her home to
save a laptop containing the scripts to her new show.

In an Instagram Story, the Canadian showed police at her London home and wrote: "Cool to be robbed
tonight by a masked man in our home."

The 36-year-old appealed for help in tracing a ring that was stolen.

Ryan is known for stand-up and panel shows but has written a Netflix sitcom, The Duchess, about a single
mother.

She previously told Radio Times that writing the series "was a challenge because I'm not a screenwriter
who's experienced, I don't know the rules".

And in an Instagram clip posted at the weekend, she pointed out blood on the laptop and told followers:
"This is why I love Bobby K [Kootstra]. He got in a fight and wrestled back my Netflix series, all my
scripts."
