Kate said that she had to strip during the show for a doctor’s appointment. However, one night she laid down for the scene and was instantly hit with the need to go to the bathroom.
“It’s happening. It’s happening. It’s happening,” she recalled thinking. “I’m going to s-it myself. I’m lying on a white sheet, naked on the stage.”
“I’m convinced I’ve totally s-at myself,” she explained.
Ever a pro, Kate covered her body in a sheet while still concerned that she was going to the bathroom. She said she was “absolutely just convinced that if I move my body there’s going to be poo.”
“I practically slither off the stage, and I hide in a corner thinking I’ve got to check the sheet,” she said. “Ladies and gentleman, I had not actually done a poo. But the second I got into my dressing room, and I ran into that bathroom… gunfire.”
The actress recently opened up about some of the horrible things she was told when she started in the industry.
