“I was born in an old house and my bed was held up by bricks.

“I was bitten in the face by a rat when I was still a baby and I’m not ashamed to say it. Thank God my mother arrived in time, otherwise I’d be uglier than I am today.”

“I grew up in a poor neighbourhood and from an early age I learned to appreciate what little I had.”

The mother of ten-month-old daughter Valentina also said the values her mum had instilled in her had shown her the importance of solidarity.

The entire family turned up for a reunion in Madeira back in March when their mother Dolores suffered a stroke.

The house where Katia grew up with brothers Cristiano and Hugo and big sister Elma has been demolished.
