Additionally, Katherine played the role of Lady Mae in the ITV period series called Mr. Selfridge. Her recent appearance was as DI Karen Renton in the drama series called Liar.

Talking of her role, Katherine had said:

“It’s my belief that Karen Renton is that way because she has to be that, and if she wasn’t that, I wouldn’t believe that out of all the detectives that they could send from the Met to solve this front-page news story, why would they pick her if she wasn’t excellent at her job? I think she would have been chosen because she can act very quickly and very swiftly, and she has great instincts.”

Besides doing TV, Katherine has also acted in theater and starred in She Stoops to Conquer at the National Theater as Miss Hardcastle in 2012.
