KT took part in the BNBF (British Natural Bodybuilding Federation) Figure competition in July 2008 for the first time. She won both the competition and won best presentation, this qualified her to enter the British finals on October 2008. KT found out that she was pregnant a month before the finals so she could not commit as fully to the training and diet as she would have liked, but at 2 months pregnant she came a very respectable 4th in Britain. She just hope that she will get her six pack back once she has her first child at the end of May 2009.
