Unfortunately, her dress came up over her head and revealed her underwear for all the crowd to see.
Speaking to LADbible over the weekend, Katie opened up about the viral moment – revealing how she’s now banned from entering parents’ races ‘ever again’.

‘I’ve promised my girls I’ll never do another ‘parents’ race’ ever again,’ revealed the mother.
‘There was a parents’ dance recently at my daughter’s dance competition. They announced it, the girls looked at me and said “No, mum”. I agreed to give it a miss!’
Asked if she’ll be participating in this year’s sports day, Katie said: ‘Absolutely not, as much as it was good fun I think my running days are over!’
She also discussed her daughter’s reaction to the aftermath of her fall, with Katie revealing: ‘She thought it was funny. She said everyone was talking about it at school but it was good fun.’
A few days after the footage went viral, Katie revealed she’d received 500 messages from suitors from all over the world, and that she and her children get recognised in their local town, in their Tesco and online.
After come to terms with the fact her derrière became a sensation, Katie admitted to The Mirror that she was soaking up the attention.
‘I’ve had thousands of messages – at least 500 of them have been from men from Greece to Puerto Rico to Germany and even Australia, saying “how are you single?” and calling me a “MILF”,’ Katie said.
The mother-of-two added she received moving messages, including one who told her the video was the first thing to make them smile for the first time in half a year.

Katie, who called herself ‘clumsy,’ admitted she also received mean-intentioned messages. but said they couldn’t get to her.
She added she didn’t intend to become famous and that it has just happened to her.
She added most people called her a good sport and an ‘amazing mum’ following the moment.
‘The whole world’s seen my bum now, but it is what it is – I can’t hide from it. I don’t care,’ she said.
Katie also recalled: ‘I’m not sporty at all, but [my daughter] kept begging me. In the end I agreed to the race – I knew I’d come last. I just tripped over my own feet – I think my body was just moving too fast for my legs! I’m so clumsy, I’m always falling over.
‘I was humiliated at the time, but it is what it is! I flashed my underwear which is obviously embarrassing but you just have to own it. Looking back, it’s hilarious. Definitely the funniest thing I’ve ever done in my life!’
