The Springwatch favourite, who has been married for 25 years, opened up about remaining childless saying it's simply not an "issue".
The 48-year-old admitted that she never thought she'd walk down the aisle either, that was until she met her spouse Ludo Graham.
Speaking about the "incredibly personal" subject, Kate commented: "I know that motherhood was not for me and literally it bypassed me.
"I don’t think I had even started my periods and I knew it wasn’t something I wanted to do."

Kate continued: "It was as fundamental as somebody saying, 'I knew I was gay when I was a young teenager,' or, ‘I knew I was transgender’.
"Not being a mum has never been an issue for me. Journalists think of the whole thing as extraordinary and fascinating," during an interview with the Daily Mirror.
The presenter went on to say she hated having to "justify" her decision, which she claimed was the "worst thing" about being in the public eye.

She added: "… When you have to justify in an interview a decision or point of view you feel is incredibly personal and nobody else’s business, which brings me back to the subject of children and the fact I don’t have them.
"I never thought I would be married but I have been married 25 years this year. But it’s only because I go away a lot."
Former president of the RSPB, Kate rose to fame fronting the likes of Animal Park, Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Wild in Africa.
