Currently playing in select cinemas and set to be released on DVD next Monday, June 21, the Lancashire-born actress plays the lead as an unlucky-in-love woman who wins a trip to a Rhyl caravan park.
Talking to The Post, Katy said: "The message and story behind the film is just so powerful. It is all about this character who learns to love herself for who she truly is which is such an important message.
"With social media pressures and the challenges of life that we have to face, we spend so many young years being worried about what people think of us. It is so important to be comfortable in your own skin and learning to just love yourself and realising you don't need to change.
