Curvy Kerry Katona steps out in maternity-style top after piling on the pounds

After dramatically overhauling her figure last summer, the pounds appear to be creeping back on Kerry Katona.

The 28-year-old stepped out today looking distinctly curvier than in recent months.

Her loose-fitting peach top had the look of maternity wear, billowing out around the waist and giving the impression of a rounded stomach.

Her apparent weight gain was emphasised by the fact that she did not appear to be wearing a bra, and was seen tugging at her top to stop it falling down.

Kerry clutched a packet of menthol cigarettes in her hand as she headed to pick up her daughter from school, before taking her to visit another, independent, school in Wilmslow.

The mother-of-four is no stranger to yo-yo patterns of losing and gaining weight.

She dropped several dress sizes after undergoing £15,000 of liposuction last summer before overhauling her eating regime.

As well as losing the bulk of her weight through surgery, Kerry slimmed down further with the help of her personal trainer Scott Wright, who played mechanic Sam Kingston in Coronation Street in the early Noughties.

The combination of surgery and her new lifestyle saw Kerry's weight drop from 14 stone - after the birth of her fourth child Maxwell - to eight stone.

At the time, Kerry revealed she was hoping to put on another stone because she was too thin.

She said: 'I'm eight stone now but I want to be eight and a half. I'll be happy then because I don't like being this thin.'

Last month she launched her MTV reality show What's The Problem, and revealed she had put on a stone since Christmas.

The series features Kerry and husband Mark Croft's brief split, and the couple's bankruptcy.

The show also sees Kerry finding out a 62-year-old man named Ron Armstrong was her biological father after DNA tests, but sadly she didn't get to meet him before he died.

Kerry Katona keeps warm as she plays doting mother for walk in the snow

The freezing temperatures blasting across the country don't appear to affect Kerry Katona.

Heading out for a walk in the snow with her daughter, all the former Atomic Kitten had to don was a cotton-hooded top, scarf and a pair of ear-muffs.

The reality TV star, who has lost six stone in nine months, braved the cold and played the doting mother with two-year-old Heidi.

£15,000 surgery leaves Kerry Katona with an unsightly saggy tummy

Three months after Kerry Katona's £15,000 surgery, it seems the operation wasn't quite the quick fix she was hoping for.

After undergoing liposuction, a tummy tuck and a breast reduction, it appears the reality star's body isn't quite a taut as she would like.

Photographed leaving her Warrington home yesterday, the mother-of-four' and Iceland spokesperson's jumper lifted up to reveal a wrinkled belly.

Wrinkled: Katona reveals her unsightly stomach

The 28-year-old underwent surgery - paid for by MTV producers of her latest reality show - in August, complaining she had lost her figure after giving birth to four children.

Katona caused controversy when she opted to remove her baby weight by surgery just six months after giving birth to her youngest child Max.

Katona has been keeping a low-profile since her disastrous appearance at the MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this month.

The former Atomic Kitten singer was booed by fans at the Liverpool ceremony when she came on stage to present Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds To Mars with the Best Video gong.

Days later, she also admitted she had battled alcoholism, in addition to her other previous personal problems.

She said: 'Four years ago I was diagnosed as an alcoholic after a stay in The Priory clinic.

'This is not common knowledge as I've never admitted it before.

Rough ride: Katona was booed at the MTV Europe Music Video Awards in Liverpool in November

'Along with my bi-polar disorder this is an ongoing battle I will face for the rest of my life. Yes, I still have a drink when I want to, like any other 28-year-old woman.

'During my worst drinking bouts I'd easily knock back ten to 15 shots of vodka or peach schnapps.

'I can get through days without a drink but it's hard.

'I never promise myself or my family that I can beat this addiction but I'll try bloody hard.'

Katona, who was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, and her husband Mark Croft stressed that alcohol was not to blame for her slurring her words on ITV's This Morning last month.

The couple, who live in Cheshire, said her behaviour was down to taking medication late the night before her interview with Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton, in which they asked her if she had a drink problem.

Kerry Katona has full-fat Coke and Sugar Puffs delivered to her home

After undergoing £15,000 worth of plastic surgery, one would expect Kerry Katona to eat sensibly so she wouldn't lose her svelte figure.

But it appears the reality star isn't on a health kick as she received a grocery delivery from Iceland today.

As the face of the supermarket chain, Katona is entitled to the enviable perk of free groceries.

Dressed down in a black jumper with her hair scrapped back, the mother-of-four chatted to the delivery man as she carried a large box of Coca-Cola, toilet rolls and Sugar Puffs into the house.

Other items in the bags presumably included frozen food, for which Iceland predominantly stocks.

Katona's brief sojourn to the front door of her Warrington house is the first time she's been seen in public since her disastrous appearance at the MTV Europe Music Awards on Thursday.

Kerry Katona four days after debuting her £15,000 new body

After spending £15,000 on regaining her pre-pregnancy figure Kerry Katona might have been expected to hold back as she headed off on holiday.

But just four days after revealing her slimline shape there appears to be a whole lot more of the mother-of-four.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, 28, underwent a breast reduction operation, liposuction and removal of stretch marks at the St John and St Elizabeth Hospital in North London in August.

Just this week Kerry revealed her joy over the successful surgery, as she flew out of Manchester Airport for a sunshine break with her husband Mark Croft.

On Tuesday she dressed in tight-fitting jeans and a fitted top to show off her body. But after four days of enjoying herself Kerry's figure appeared to be showing the strain.

Kerry decided to undergo surgery after growing unhappy with her look following the birth of her fourth child, Max, in April.

Rather than lose weight through dieting and exercise, Kerry chose the surgical option after complaining of the toll childbirth had taken on her.

After being made bankrupt by the High Court just a week before her operation, the procedures were paid for by MTV, the producers of her reality show Whole Again.

Kerry's operation will be screened on the programme on MTV One later this month.

The couple, who married in February 2007, have two children together, baby son Max, aged six months, and toddler Heidi, 19 months.

Kerry also has two daughters Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, five, from her previous marriage to Westlife singer Brian McFadden.

Mark is now considering whether or not to undergo a paternity test to determine if he is the father.

Kerry said: 'She approached us after she discovered the guy she's with now wasn't the boy's dad, but even if it is Mark's kid, it happened way before I met him, so what's there to be angry about?'

Furious Kerry Katona 'set to write tell-all book about arch enemy Katie Price'

There's still no love lost between former best friends Kerry Katona and Katie Price, who fell out in spectacular style last year.

The pair became so close after starring in the 2004 series of reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, which Katona won, that the former Atomic Kitten singer was a bridesmaid at Price's 2006 wedding to Peter Andre.

But according to Closer magazine, a war of words between the pair has now become so vicious Katona is considering penning a tell-all book about the glamour model, better known as Jordan, and her allegedly disloyal behaviour.

Feud: Kerry Katona (l) is considering writing a book about the shortcomings of her former best friend Katie Price (r)

A source told the publication: 'Kerry is furious about some of the things Jordan has said about her recently. She thinks she's insecure and hypocritical and wants the world to know who the real Jordan is.

'She's been seriously considering writing a book about their friendship.'

Katona, 28, and Price, 30, first fell out a year ago when the model hit out at Katona's husband Mark Croft for confiscating her mobile phone so he could monitor her calls.

In happier times: A heavily-pregnant Katona appeared with Price on her reality TV show Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter in April 2007

There followed a series of bitchy comments directed at one another in the press.

Most recently, mother-of-three Price criticised Jade Goody, who recently had surgery to combat cervical cancer, in a magazine interview.

Price said: 'I can't believe she's paid for interviews on subjects that people are really traumatised by.'

Close: The pair became friends during the 2004 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

But mum-of-four Katona jumped to Goody's defence and hit back: 'Jordan has had a pop at Jade for selling her story. I can't believe it - she's got cancer for f***'s sake!

'It's so hypocritical - everything Jordan does is in the papers. She feels the need to have an opinion about everyone else, but she sells her soul to the press, so why shouldn't other people?'

Kerry Katona declared bankrupt after failing to pay £82,000 tax bill

Reality TV star Kerry Katona was dealt a major blow today as she was made bankrupt at a High Court hearing after failing to pay an outstanding tax bill.

The former Atomic Kitten star had managed to reduce her £417,000 tax bill to £82,000.

But HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) insisted on pressing ahead with the bankruptcy petition, which was first issued in January.

Mr Registrar Nicholls agreed to make the order after giving 27-year-old Katona until 1pm today to come up with the balance.

Kerry Katona, with husband Mark Croft, was made bankrupt after failing to pay her outstanding tax bill

But when today in court, Luke Harris, representing the reality television star who was not in court, asked the registrar to put the matter back, claiming the funds were available but cheques had not cleared.

Mr Harris said as soon as the money was ready, it would be brought to the court and given to Mike Thomas, the lawyer representing HMRC.

But just before 1pm today, when the registrar called the parties back into the court and Mr Harris said he was 'not in a position to assist further'.

Mr Registrar Nicholls had given mother of four Kerry until today to find the sum in a case that has already been before the court four times.

Miss Katona brought matching luxury cars for herself and her husband despite her looming tax bill

The bankruptcy declaration is the latest bad news for the I'm a Celebrity winner, who has been treated at The Priory for depression.

The star is going through a bitter custody with ex-husband Brian McFadden.

Katona and McFadden, who were married for two years but split in 2004, have two daughters Molly, six, and Lilly-Sue, five.

She has also had to put up with claims that her husband Mark Croft has cheated on her.

But despite her recent money troubles, Ms Katona still splashed out on a £115,000 Lamborghini for her husband last year.

And at Christmas Kerry was reported to have treated him to a new £12,000 bike, despite the fact he already had a £10,000 Ducati.

It has also been reported that as well as being threatened with bankruptcy by HMRC over the unpaid tax from 2004 to 2006, the mother of four owes £73,000 tax from 2007.

Miss Katona is said to earn £750,000 a year as the face of supermarket chain Iceland and £400,000 a year as a columnist.

Kerry Katona plans £15,000 extreme body makeover to regain size eight figure

Troubled star Kerry Katona is opting for a dramatic £15,000 body makeover in a bid to regain her pre-baby, size eight figure.

The 27-year-old mother-of-four is planning a total overhaul including a breast reduction, liposuction and laser treatment for stretch marks in an attempt to return to the size eight figure she had during her Atomic Kitten days.

Kerry, who is a size 12, has been battling to shed the pounds since her son Max was born in April.

The Iceland star told Closer magazine: 'I'm going to have liposuction, because after four kids I need it.'

The Liverpudlian is planning a £7,000 breast reduction, £6,000 worth of liposuction and a course of laser treatments for stretch marks which cost £280 a session.

She added: 'I'm also going to have a boob reduction. I'm a GG at the moment, and when I take my bra off my nipples are by my feet. I want to be a DD instead.'

Heyday: Kerry wants a total overhaul to return to her pre-baby size eight figure, as she looked in her Atomic Kitten heyday

The former Atomic Kitten star is currently filming her latest Iceland advert with Jason Donovan.

And she could be seen spilling out of her black corset before donning a black and white gingham dress.

A source told Closer magazine: 'Kerry says she wants to get rid of her lumps and bumps, the weight above her C-section scar, which she's been unable to shift, and reduce her chest size, which she describes as "way too big".

Kerry doesn't care about the cost, she just wants to look like her old sexy little self.

'More than anything she'd love to feel "wow" about herself.'

The source said that husband Mark Croft's jibes had increased Kerry's insecurity about her weight.

'Kerry is very aware that she already has a double chin which Mark jokes about.

'He's been encouraging her overhaul. He knows that she'll get more work offers when she's thinner,' the source said.

My sad and twisted mum slept with one of my boyfriends' says Kerry Katona

Troubled Kerry Katona has admitted that her mother slept with one of her boyfriends while she was going out with him.

The revelation follows claims by her mum, Susan, that she had seduced her daughter's husband, Brian McFadden.

Kerry told Heat Magazine: 'I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if she did. I'd be more surprised if she hadn't slept with him.

'She did sleep with one of my boyfriends while I was going out with him.'

Kerry says that she has considered suicide but would never do it because of her kids

The former Atomic Kitten singer also admitted in the interview with the magazine that in the past she had considered ending all her troubles, by committing suicide.

It follows a string of allegations against the star in the press from her friends, her ex husband Brian McFadden and her mother that have left the star facing severe depression.

The 28-year-old said: 'You do feel suicidal; you lie there thinking "I don't want to live any more".

But Kerry says she has never attempted suicide and has got through her problems with the help of new husband Mark Croft, who she describes as 'my safety net, my backbone, my rock'.

She added: 'I've watched my mum over the years, trying to kill herself countless times, and to me it's a coward's way out and it made me feel unloved and unworthy.

'So I could never dream of doing that to my children.'

The star has remained tight-lipped since allegations from her mother last month that she had been involved in prostitution to fund her drug habits.

But this week in the interview, the star said that the story had broken her heart and that the couple would be taking legal action.

The mother-of-four added: 'I don't understand when I could have been on the game. Up until I was 16, I was in school and at 17, I got famous and was all over the world, so where would have I got the time?

'I think she was very ill and jealous of my success. She needs the money. When mum sold the first story I was heartbroken. Now I feel cheated, and the pain doesn't get any easier. I've stood by my mum for years.'

Kerry says her mum, Susan, has left her heartbroken after she sold stories about the star

Kerry and her husband Mar have endured endless criticism over their relationship with many labelling the former cabbie as a 'sponger'.

It follows the star splashing out on her husband in recent months, including buying him a £100,000 Porsche Turbo following the birth of their son Max in April.

This is despite the fact that she is battling a reported £700,000 worth of debt, including an overdue tax bill of £417,000.

But Kerry defended her actions saying: 'I'm a celebrity, I have money and I should be allowed to go and buy what I want. Wjat's the point of having this money and not being able to do 'owt with it apart from spend it on my tax bill?

Kerry says that Mark's official job is now her chauffeur but that he is also involved in a property development company.

She denied that he is a 'glorified taxi driver' and added: 'He's a chauffeur now darling!'

And what about the infidelity rumours?

'No matter what Mark's always going to be labelled a cheat. It doesn't bother me in the slightest because I know that Mark isn't going to go out for burgers when he's got steak at home', says Kerry.

'Mark is one of the most loving people - brilliant with the kids, brilliant with me and he certainly never cheats.

'Mark is my best friend. If you put Brad Pitt next to him, I'd still pick Mark ten times over. He's my safety net, my backbone, my rock.'

Kerry famously split from Brian McfFdden after two years in 2004 and the pair are now fighting for access to their tow children Molly, six, and Lilly-Sue, five.

Kerry says ex-husband Brian needs to 'grow up' and get his priorities right

In a divorce that has been described as 'showbiz's bloodiest battle', the former Westlife singer has described Kerry as 'disgusting' and an 'embarrassment' as well as labelling his children 'chavs'.

Kerry says that she will not 'slag off' Brian, who lives in Australia, but says he has not phoned his children since March.

She adds: 'It makes me really angry because the kids are going to go through these archives and all these comments are going to come up.

'My kids idolise their daddy, I just wish they got to see him more. I don't think it's right that Brian doesn't phone and see the kids as much as he should.

'He's over again in two weeks and I've got to take the girls out of school for another four days because that's the only time he can see them. He should get his priorities right. He needs to grow up. There's kids involved.'

The star admits that her daughter Lily occasionally calls Mark 'Dad'.

She added: 'Brian actually said in one article that he wants the kids to call Mark 'Dad'. I wouldn't want the kids calling Delta 'Mother'. I'm sorry, I don't care how nice she is, that would devastate me.'

Kerry, who is the face of Iceland says that recent reports have not helped her mega-bucks deal with the supermarket chain but that they have stuck by her 'because they know the truth'.

Pregnant Kerry Katona admitted to hospital over fears she has 'dangerous illness'

Kerry Katona is recovering in hospital after a pregnancy scare, it has been revealed.

The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here winner was admitted on Tuesday after a midwife became concerned that she had contracted the potentially fatal condition of pre-enclampsia.

But medics discovered that the 27-year-old was suffering from water retention. Katona is due to give birth to her her fourth child in May.

She left rehab just two days ago after being treated for bipolar disorder. The former Atomic Kitten singer has denied allegations that she has continued to use drugs during her pregnancy, but she was pictured smoking.

Precaution: Kerry, pictured with husband Mark Croft, has been admitted to hospital

Katona's spokesman Max Clifford said the star had been troubled by swollen feet and legs.

He added: "She's been in a lot of pain, particularly in the last few days.

"It could be water retention. She's still in hospital at the moment.

"She has been in increasing pain and can hardly walk. Kerry has had a pretty rough time and it's got worse and worse. We're hoping that everything will settle down."

Filming of Katona's MTV reality series Crazy In Love was suspended when the mother-of-three went back to rehab.

It has been alleged that her husband Mark Croft, 37, slept with a barmaid he met in a nightclub in July.

Mr Clifford, who gave Katona away when she married, insisted she was being treated for her ongoing bipolar disorder.

Mr Clifford said that Mr Croft had taken her to hospital and has been by her side.

Look what Kerry Katona's bought Mark now

With his days driving a taxi now just a distant memory, Mark Croft looked to be in his element yesterday as he hit the road on his new Ducati 1098.

It was, of course, yet another rather expensive gift from wife Kerry Katona, who has reportedly splashed out more than a million pounds on motor vehicles for her husband in recent years.


Wheel love: Mark Croft took his Ducati - a gift from wife Kerry - out for a spin in Wilmslow, Cheshire yesterday

At Christmas she treated him to the £12,000 bike, despite the fact he already had a £10,000 Ducati.

Mark, who doesn't appear to be independently employed, has also acquired a fleet of more than twenty cars, according to reports.

Recent gifts from Kerry are said to include a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, multiple Porsches, Range Rovers, Aston Martins and BMWs among others.


Fleet: Kerry, pictured at the couple's home yesterday, has reportedly spent more than a million pounds on gifts for Mark

Mark, who has denied reports he cheated on the former Atomic Kitten star last July, recently talked up the couple's fleet, saying: "People say we haven't got any money but we must have because how else would we have afforded it?"

The pair, who live in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with Molly, six, Lily-Sue, five and one-year-old Heidi, are expecting their fourth child.


Rev head: Mark was spotted leaving the couple's home yesterday, where two cars from their fleet were on display

Pregnant Kerry has today hit back at reports she has an alcohol problem after she was seen drinking wine on her MTV reality show Crazy In Love.

She told OK! magazine: "I'm sorry but what woman who is pregnant has not had a glass of wine? Get over it. A lot of women have more than that. I'm sick of people judging me."

Her spokesperson Max Clifford has also dismissed as "nonsense" reports she has taken cocaine during her pregnancy.

So this is what Kerry Katona looks like AFTER five hours at a beauty salon

If this is what Kerry Katona looks like after five hours of pampering at a salon we'd hate to see the 'before' photos.

The heavily pregnant 27-year-old was snapped leaving a hair salon with husband Mark Croft, in London, on Thursday.

But despite five hours of treatment at the hands of beauty experts, the former face of Iceland cut a shabby figure in rolled-down dungarees and a huge baggy cardigan.

Chatty: Kerry catches up on her phone calls after a five-hour mega makeover

Kerry, whose new show Crazy in Love hits MTV One on Sunday, recently declared herself to be 'Britain's Britney' - comparing herself to Britney Spears in a reference to the amount of negative press she receives.

The former Atomic Kitten star has been hit by several cocaine scandals but insists she has been clean for three years.

Kerry, who hosted a late-night baby shower at London's Hospital nightclub on Wednesday night attended by Big Brother stars Ziggy Lichman and Sam and Amanda Marchant, said: "I'm the British Britney Spears, which is ridiculous."

Scruffy: Mum-to-be Kerry emerges after five hours of beauty treatments, but completes her look with dungarees and a baggy cardigan

"The press write what they want to write about me. Once they've built you up, they try to pull you down and they've been doing it for the last two years now.

"You show me one picture of me taking cocaine or coming out of a nightclub in the last two years.

"I've admitted taking it for about a year but look at Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty and Kate Moss. They're legends for it and I don't do it any more.

'Britain's Britney': Kerry Katona, arriving at her late-night baby shower at London's Hospital nightclub, says she's treated unfairly by the press

"I've just recently done a drugs test which I had to do for a court case and of course it came back negative, which I knew it would anyway.

"It's just unfair. I want people to forget what they read and remember the Kerry that won in the jungle because that's still me."

The former I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here winner admitted turning to cocaine after splitting from first husband Brian McFadden, but says she has not touched drugs for just over three years.

Kerry told Richard and Judy on their C4 show: "It took me a year to grieve over Brian and to actually cry. Cocaine gave me the confidence and helped me lose weight."

She denied that finding fame with girl band Atomic Kitten at the age of 16 had anything to do with her addiction.

"It was the people I was brought up with. I was one of those girls from a council estate, in care, eight different schools, pushed around from here to there.

"My mum was a manic depressive, alcoholic cocaine user. The fame helped me get away from it if I'm honest.

"While I was in Atomic Kitten on tour, I was getting phone calls from mum saying she was being beaten up by her boyfriend but none of that's come out in the papers."

Kerry also denied rumours that she is on the brink of bankruptcy and says she has signed another contract as the face of Iceland supermarket.

"I've been in the best place since I've been with Mark. I'm not going bankrupt," she said.

The mum-of-three claims she will give birth to her fourth child while the cameras are still rolling for her show, which began shooting in December.
