That didn't take long! Plastic surgery fan Kerry Katona slips into a white bikini to show off the results of her tummy tuck

By Holly Thomas


She revealed recently that even after a figure-transforming tummy tuck, she still feels self-conscious about baring her body.

But it looks as though Kerry Katona is finally rediscovering her old confidence.

The 31-year-old looked relaxed and comfortable on holiday in Mallorca this week.

She showed off her new physique in a Bond girl-style white bikini, and sipped champagne as she lounged around on a yacht off Mood Beach with her family.

Kerry, who was staying at the Lindner hotel, appeared in far brighter spirits than she has done in recent months, and seemed full of energy as she skipped about the boat.

At one point she playfully sprayed her daughters Molly and Lilly-Sue with a hose while they sat in a motor boat.

She clearly had a fantastic time- and was keen to let fans know that her children had as well.

Kerry tweeted: 'Molly and Lilly have had the best time ever xxxxx'

Ruefully, she added: 'Omg we've had the most amazing time on holiday coming home tomorrow back to the s***** weather xxxxx'.

Proud of her shape: Kerry recently said that she was still unhappy with her body after a tummy tuck, but she looked content on holiday

The reality star recently showed off her new honed figure by donning a revealing black catsuit for a Now magazine photo shoot.

Kerry Katona shows off her ample cleavage in the plunging outfit as well as showing off her recent liposuction in the tight-fitting outfit.

Kerry opens up about her ex-husbands Brian McFadden and Mark Croft in the accompanying interview for the magazine.

Family fun: Kerry tweeted that her daughters Molly and Lilly had the best time ever

Speaking about former cabbie Mark who she split from in 2010 she had some rather scathing comments.

She explained: 'It makes me feel physically sick when I think about him. It feels awful he fact I was married to him.'

'He was just a sperm donor [to her youngest children Heidi, five and Max, four],' she continued.

Looking to a brighter future: Kerry posted yesterday 'Life is about ignoring the drama'

'I haven't spoken to him since 19 February.'

Kerry was slightly less disparaging about her first husband and former Westlife singer Brian.

The mother-of-four claims that she is struggling to provide for her children and she just wants her first husband to pay the school fees.

Mum's driving Kerry appeared to relish being behind the wheel of the motor boat

She noted: 'He bought his fiancée a huge rock of a ring. He pulled up in a Ferrari to do an interview.

'Yet here's me struggling to give our kids the best education possible.... it's sick.'

'I got tired of tucking my extra skin in my knickers': Kerry Katona reveals she's still unhappy with her body after a tummy tuck

By Georgina Littlejohn


She announced to the world that she had undergone the drastic cosmetic surgery procedure while appearing on a celebrity cooking show.

But Kerry Katona has revealed that despite having a tummy tuck, she still hates her body and is very self-conscious about it.

The reality TV star went under the knife in May after admitting that she hated the saggy skin on her stomach after having four children.

Money well spent? Kerry Katona revealed that she underwent a tummy tuck for extra stomach skin that 'had to go' - but admitted she still hates her body

But as she showed off the results of the operation in a couple of sexy swimsuits for a magazine shoot, she said she hated posing for the cameras in the beachwear.

Speaking to Now magazine, she said: 'I feel extremely uncomfortable and really unhappy taking my clothes off in front of people.'

Silver siren: Kerry looked sensational in this cutaway swimsuit but admitted she still doesn't like her body

Talking about the decision to have to cosmetic procedure, she said: 'My stomach skin used to hang down.

'I had a scar from my Caesarean there anyway so they cut over it. Honestly, underneath these clothes it’s just scars, scars, scars. I look like a noughts and crosses board!

'I’ve had four children, which means there was loads of loose skin because my stomach had stretched so much. No matter how many sit-ups I did it wouldn’t go.

It's over: Kerry recently split from her boyfriend of nine months, Steve Alce

'I got tired of tucking my extra skin in my knickers. It was like having an extra toe that shouldn’t be there.

'I had to get it removed.

'But even if I had no scars I’d still look in the mirror and think, "Oh God, I hate myself. I hate my body".'

Kerry has been seen working out in her local parks and participating in boot camps but says she doesn't want to lose any more weight, just tighten up.

She said: 'I don’t want to be a celebrity promoting skinniness. I know I’ve had a tummy tuck, but it wasn’t to lose weight. I was 10st the last time I weighed myself, but I think I carry it well.

'It’s hard. Not everyone can be a Victoria Beckham and get their body back quickly. Not everyone can afford a personal trainer. I can’t!'

But she admitted that she was going to go under the knife again after she took part in Dancing On Ice and she lost a lot of weight on her bust.

She said: 'I was going to have another boob job, but I decided I didn’t want implants again. Luckily, I put a bit of weight on and my boobs have started growing again. I’m a 34E now.'

She also spoke to the magazine about recently splitting from her boyfriend of nine months, Steve Alce and admitted she got scared of the commitment.

She revealed: 'Steve’s a beautiful person inside and out. The kids loved him. I’ve probably made the biggest mistake of my life.

'But I just want to be on my own. I’ll be honest with you, I felt responsible for him. He was devastated. I’m nearly crying now because he’s a lovely guy. I can’t fault him – he wasn’t a cheat, he wasn’t argumentative. We even spoke about marriage and kids.

'I’m tired of looking after other people. I’ve got so much to deal with – money issues, solicitors, tax. I couldn’t carry him as well. The sad thing is he’s madly in love with me.'

That's much better! Kerry Katona shows off her new sleek style hair extensions and slim figure in a short black dress

By Fehintola Betiku and J J Anisiobi


Just last week she was pictured taking to the stage at Birmingham Pride 2012 with an embarrassing crimp hair style and looking a little fuller figured.

However, Kerry Katona has since given herself a miraculous make-over and she looked back at her best as stepped out in Essex, last night.

The 31-year-old looked sultry in an all black outfit that showed off her slim figure and great legs as she headed into Funky Mojoe bar, in South Woodford.

Fine form: Kerry Katona looked in great shape as she unveiled her new hair extensions on a night out in Essex, yesterday evening

The former Atomic Kitten member debuted her longer hair last month via her Twitter page and said: 'Feel like I'm back in the kittens lol xx'

The pictures showed off longer hair extensions which was a significant change from her previous look - a bob which she had styled both straight and curly.

She later added, 'Omg my hair is soooo long!! Love a change xxx'.


The woman in black: Kerry stepped out of her taxi and instantly looked more svelte than she had earlier this week

A new look: Kerry showed off her long hair extension last month on Twitter

It wasn't just Kerry's mane that was in good shape, the mother-of-four looked svelte in her short black dress which she teamed with a pair of peep toe heels and a small clutch bag.

The curvy star ironically chose Essex to show off her extensions, but none of the TOWIE cast, who are well known for their fake hair and tans, were around to appreciate her look.

After enjoying herself in the bar, the blonde star headed home and didn't appear to be worse for wear at all, as her stylish look appeared the same.

Her outfit last night was a million miles away from the messy ensemble she had previously been seen in when performing in Birmingham.

Taking it back: Kerry Katona crimped her hair as she took to the stage at Birmingham Pride 2012

Kerry had pinned back the top section of her long blonde waved hair into a quiff and wore the rest down.

She completed her mismatched outfit with a pair of black wet look leggings, a white blazer and grey wedged trainers.

Following her performance, the former Atomic Kitten singer seemed to be in good spirits when she took to her Twitter again.

Her post read, '@BirminghamPride thank you so much for inviting me and my kids down to pride we had an amazing time xxx'.

In her element: Kerry looked happy to be back on the stage as she performed

Kerry was in Atomic Kitten from 1999 to 2001, when she left because she was pregnant with her first child with now ex-husband Brian McFadden.

And while there have been a spate of 90s bands reuniting in the past few years, such as Steps, Take That and the Spice Girls, it seems unlikely that Kerry will be rejoining Atomic Kitten for a comeback.

Jenny Frost - who replaced Kerry in 2001 - spoke recently about her feelings on the pop group reforming, but admitted that Kerry wouldn't be a part of it.

She said, 'I don't want to be derogatory about Kerry, but there shouldn't be four of us in Atomic Kitten. When we do anything, it will be just the three of us.'

'Feel like I'm back in the kittens!' Kerry Katona relives her popstar days as she swaps blonde bob for long extensions

By Sarah Bull


'Feel like I'm back in the kittens!' Kerry Katona looks like she's reliving her popstar days with long extensions

When she shot to fame as one third of hit pop group Atomic Kitten, Kerry Katona looked like a typical popstar with her long blonde hair.

But as she has matured, Kerry has experimented with a variety of looks, including brown hair and most recently a blonde crop.

However, now, the 31-year-old star is harking back to her popstar days, reliving her youth by swapping her short hair for long extensions.

Reliving her look: The new 'do is similar to the one Kerry sported when she sang as part of Atomic Kitten

Kerry shared a picture of her new look on her Twitter page last night, writing: 'Feel like I'm back in the kittens lol xx'

She later added: 'Omg my hair is soooo long!! Love a change xxx'

The extensions are certainly a change from Kerry's previous look - a bob which she has been styling straight and curly over the past few weeks.

Original line-up: Kerry with Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton during their Atomic Kitten days

Kerry was in Atomic Kitten from 1999 to 2001, when she left because she was pregnant with her first child with now ex-husband Brian McFadden.

And while there have been a spate of 90s bands reuniting in the past few years, such as Steps, Take That and the Spice Girls, it seems unlikely that Kerry will be rejoining Atomic Kitten for a comeback.

Jenny Frost - who replaced Kerry in 2001 - spoke recently about her feelings on the pop group reforming, but admitted that Kerry wouldn't be a part of it.

She said: 'I don't want to be derogatory about Kerry, but there shouldn't be four of us in Atomic Kitten. When we do anything, it will be just the three of us.'


As she was: Kerry sported a curly blonde bob as she attended David Gest and Patsy Palmer's joint birthday party last week

Changing looks: Kerry has experimented with a variety of hairdos, including a blonde crop and long brown hair


However, Kerry later responded to Jenny's comments, writing in her OK! magazine column: 'We all say things in the spur of the moment and I always try and take these things with a pinch of salt.

'But, Jenny – we all make mistakes, I’m sure you’ve made a few – who are you to say those things about me?

'You weren’t even in my life then and didn’t know how messed up my head was! Rather than judge, why not give me a helping hand instead? I’m a lot more grown up than I used to be and I admit I was very silly.

'Last time I saw Jenny I had a wonderful time with her. She’s in a really good place with a lovely new man and a wonderful son so there should be no problem with us.'

Check out my flat stomach! Kerry Katona shows off her slimline figure in tight leggings after £8k liposuction procedure

By Sarah Bull


Slimline new figure: Kerry Katona showed off her trim figure in a tight pair of leggings and vest top as she arrived at the ITV studios today

She's famously battled her weight over the past few years, yo-yoing from a size six to a 14.

But today Kerry Katona showed off her newly slim figure outside the ITV studios after undergoing an £8,500 liposuction procedure earlier this month.

The mother-of-four drew attention to her toned body in a pair of tight leggings and a figure-hugging vest top as she posed up for photographers.


And there was certainly no sign of the 'pocket of skin' on her stomach which Kerry had gone under the surgeon's knife to remove.

Kerry revealed in her OK! magazine column last week that she had decided to have the lipo and a 'tightening' procedure of her stomach, legs and bum at the Hospital Group clinic.

She wrote: 'Right now I'm high as a kite on painkillers because I'm recovering from a tummy tuck.

Svelte: Earlier this month, Kerry revealed she had spent £8,500 on a tummy tuck and liposuction procedure

'No matter how much weight I lost, I couldn't get rid of a pocket of skin that hung like a kangaroo pouch.'

Weighing around 9 1/2st when she went in for surgery, Kerry is hoping she will lose 1 /1/2 stone taking her to her goal weight of 8st and giving her 32C-26-34 measurements.

However, Kerry's weight loss could soon take a hit as the star has been working hard filming a celebrity special of Channel 4 show Come Dine With Me.

Changing shapes: Kerry has always battled with her weight, and is struggling to slim back down after her most recent gain

While it has not been revealed who Kerry will be on the show with, she will have to prepare a feast for around three fellow celebrities in the hope of winning a charity cash prize.

Talking about the show, Kerry wrote in her OK! column: 'Right now I’m on the way to my first dinner party on Come Dine With Me, which is airing in June for the Diamond Jubilee and I’m so excited!

'I can’t reveal who else I’m with yet but I’m cacking myself because I can’t cook and I’m not even allowed any help from anyone.

'I have a chef coming over to teach me a dish in case it all goes wrong. And I’ll have beans on toast as my back-up plan!'

'I've got rid of my kangaroo pouch': Kerry Katona undergoes SECOND liposuction surgery

By Emily Sheridan


Changing shape: Kerry Katona weighed around 9 1/2st during her holiday in Dubai in March (left), while she famously gained two stone post-liposuction in June 2009 (right)

Just three and a half years after undergoing £15,000 worth of surgery, Kerry Katona has had more liposuction.

The reality star revealed she had a secret liposuction operation last month and tiring of the sagging skin around her stomach.

Despite her fitness regime and dieting over the past few years, the 32-year-old found she couldn't do much to improve the elasticity of the skin around her midriff.

She writes in her OK! column: 'Right now I'm high as a kite on painkillers because I'm recovering from a tummy tuck.

'No matter how much weight I lost, I couldn't get rid of a pocket of skin that hung like a kangaroo pouch.'

Last week, the former Atomic Kitten singer spent £8,500 on lipo and a 'tightening' procedure of her stomach, legs and bum.

Weighing around 9 1/2st when she went in for surgery, Kerry is hoping she will lose 1 /1/2 stone taking her to her goal weight of 8st and giving her 32C-26-34 measurements.

After giving birth to four children, like many mothers of large families, Kerry struggled to try and reverse the actions pregnancy had done to her body.

She caused controversy when she first underwent liposuction in August 2008 to get rid of her baby weight because she had only given birth to her son four months earlier.

Although she had lost 2st following Maxwell's birth in April 2008 and had recently been made bankrupt, MTV footed the bill for her surgery, which took the 5ft 3 star from 12 stone to 8 stone.


Yo-yo dieter: Kerry was a healthy size 10 before going into the Celebrity Big Brother house last July (left), and pictured looking trim after her 2008 liposuction in January 2009 (right)


As well as liposuction, she also had her 34GG breasts reduced to a 34DD.

But by June 2009, she had piled back on two of the six stone that she lost.
But by February 2010, she was back to a size 10 and 9st 3lbs after enrolling at boot camp.

She kept up the good work all year and in December released her fitness DVD Kerry Katona Real Fitness.

In January 2011, she underwent a non-surgical treatment called Mesosculpt to get rid of her stretchmarks.

Last October, she revealed she had gained a stone while in the Celebrity Big Brother house, complaining she looked 'fat', despite being a size 10.

In January this year, she revealed she piled on the pounds again over Christmas, but managed to lose a stone following a post-holiday detox, leaving her tipping the scales at 9st 4lbs.

She said: 'After having four kids, I’m not confident about my belly. When Max was born in 2008, I was offered liposuction for a TV show - and I think I’d have it all if I could get it for free.

'In the past few weeks, my arms have become super toned. I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger... but I still hate my stomach.'

She admitted she wanted liposuction 'if I could afford it'... but it appears now she can.

'Is it me?' Twice divorced Kerry Katona tries on a 9st Big Fat Gypsy Wedding dress for size

By Daily Mail Reporter


'Is it me?' Kerry Katona tries on a Thelma Madine-designed wedding dress on This Morning


Kerry Katona's boyfriend Steve Alce already knocked her back when she proposed twice during Leap Year.

And after watching his girlfriend wearing a bright pink wedding dress on This Morning today, you couldn't blame him for wanting to run a mile.

Fortunately, Katona wasn't seriously trying on the dress for size, she was simply modelling the flamboyant creation for a TV segment on My Big Fat Gypsy Weddings gowns.


As regular contributor on This Morning, the mother-of-four was asked to model a large strapless gown designed by Thelma Madine - known for her over-the-top wedding dresses for the travelling community.

Former Atomic Kitten star Katona, 32, ended up trying on a 9 1/2 stone pink number, which she admitted made her feel like Barbie.

Katona also compared the dress to the one worn by Katie Price at her 2005 wedding to Peter Andre, which has inspired many traveller weddings in the popular Channel 4 documentary series.

Heavyweight: Katona admitted the 9 1/2 stone dress was quite a struggle to move in

She uploaded a photo of herself wearing the dress on Twitter, writing: 'What do you think guys? Is it me?'

This Morning host Holly Willoughby also wanted a piece of the action and tried on one off-camera, which ended up on the show's official Twitter page.

Katona revealed last week how she had proposed to Alce on holiday in Dubai last month.

Where's my groom? TV crew bought a stretch of sugar to illustrate how heavy Katona's dress was

The couple have been dating since October and he moved into her Surrey home a few weeks ago.

However, Alce turned her down when she popped the question - twice.

She said: 'I would marry Steve in a heartbeat if he ever asked me and I actually asked him twice to marry me on February 29.

Its tutu much: Madine adjusts Katona's dress as the reality star describes wearing it to Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield

'But he didn't respond and instead just made a joke of it, even though I was being sincere.

'I'm also very old-fashioned - I think it's wrong for a woman to ask, but he's missed his chance now anyway.'

Katona has previously been married to Irish singer Brian McFadden (2002-2004) and taxi driver Mark Croft (2007-2010).

Alce has a 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son from a previous relationship.

Red hot loving: Kerry Katona can't keep her hands off boyfriend Steve Alce as she shows off her curves in sexy polka dot bikini

Can't take my eyes off you: Kerry Katona gazes up at her new man Steve Alce as they enjoy a short break to Dubai on their first official holiday together


We think it's fairly safe to say that Kerry Katona is a woman in love.

Just a couple of days after gushing over her new man during their first holiday together, the reality TV star was snapped all over Steve Alce as they enjoyed their romantic break.

Looking curvy and sexy in a red polka dot bikini, Kerry, 31, couldn't tear her eyes - or her hands - off the artist as they relaxed on the beach in Dubai.


And the feeling was very much mutual as he too seemed completely smitten with the former pop star as they strolled hand in hand and larked about - amid much kissing - in the sea.

The couple are staying at the Royal Meridian resort on their first official holiday as a couple since they started dating in October.

But they could have been on a remote island in the middle of nowhere as they looked completely oblivious to the world around them.


The look of love: Kerry and Steve couldn't tear their eyes away from each other as they cooled off in the water

For your eyes only: The new couple seemed oblivious to anyone else as they hugged in the sea

The couple arrived in the Emirate state a couple of days ago to attend the Ahlan! magazine's Hot 100 party.

They spent the weekend in each others' arms and came home yesterday but not before they had tweeted their love for each other for all the world to see.

Alce declared that Kerry was 'my world' which prompted her to write that she loved him and in return he said: 'I love you too! I've had the best holiday ever with you!!!xxx.'

Showing off: Kerry, looking back to her curvy self, appeared to be striking a sexy pose in Alce's direction

Katona added: 'What a wonderful time I've had! Thank you @SteveAlce you've changed my world I love you.'

To which Alce gushed: 'You are my world.'

Their trip came just days after Alce moved into Katona's Surrey mansion, where she lives with her daughters Molly, 10; Lilly-Sue, nine; Heidi, five; and son Max, three.

But earlier this week, she denied reports they were engaged.

She said on This Morning: ''No, he's just moved in with me and things are going really well...

'But I'm not engaged, I'm not getting married...not yet, but I do definitely think that this is The One.'

'I hate the word diet... but I've lost a stone in a month!' Kerry Katona says post-festive detox has left her tipping scales at 9st 4lb

By Nadia Mendoza


New woman: Despite saying she hates the word 'diet', Kerry Katona has lost one stone in the last month


While most people have broken their New Year resolutions by January 2, Kerry Katona has embarked on a fitness regime to lose a stone in just one month.

Although she may have had a headstart by kicking off the detox before 2012, she has done an incredible job not to let the diet slip and said she gorged just twice over Christmas.

The mother-of-four revealed she gained an uncomfortable amount of weight during her summer stint on Celebrity Big Brother, continuing to gorge on bread and cheese after her time in the house.


Despite looking confident posing in a blue bikini and nude platform heels for Closer magazine, Kerry said she would still opt for a tummy tuck if she could afford it.

Although she has already been under the surgeon's knife for liposuction, a breast reduction and a breast lift, the former Dancing On Ice contestant is willing to have another go at a nip/tuck.

She said: 'After having four kids, I’m not confident about my belly. When Max was born in 2008, I was offered liposuction for a TV show - and I think I’d have it all if I could get it for free.

'In the past few weeks, my arms have become super toned. I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger... but I still hate my stomach. If I could afford it, I’d have a tummy tuck.'

Weight loss success: Kerry was a stone heavier at the OK! Christmas party on November 29 last year

But Kerry should be rewarded for losing her excess bulge the healthy way with an intensive four-day session at GI Jane Boot Camp, where she shed an incredible 2lbs each day.

On her return home, she continued to work with her trainer Liam Lonergan which helped her drop from a size 10-12 and weight of 10st 4lb to a size 8–10 and around 9st 4lb.

She said: 'I pigged out on a massive Christmas dinner, but I was good for the rest of the day. Luckily, I’ve never liked mince pies or Christmas pud.

'My boyfriend [artist Steve Alce, 33] was there and everyone got on really well and then on New Year’s Day Danielle Brown [Mel B’s sister] came over and cooked up a delicious lunch.

'They’re the only two days I had off from my detox!'


CBB graduate: Kerry appeared on Big Brother's Bit On The Side and said she thinks Andrew Stone is vain

Friends reunited: Kerry and former winner Paddy Doherty caught up over champagne on the CBB spin-off show

The 31-year-old, whose weight has yo-yoed in the past and at her biggest was 12 stone, added: 'I was eating loads of bread and cheese – that’s why I put on weight.

'I’d gained a stone, but going to boot camp gave me the kick up the bum I needed!”

In 2009, Kerry shrunk to a tiny size 6-8 and weighed just 8st 5lb through over-exercising.

But her new petite frame was too unrealistic to manage and she gradually gained weight again.

This time, Kerry insists she can keep off the weight as her focus is to be healthy, not skinny.

She said: 'I was extremely thin because I was doing a lot of exercise. I kept it all off up until last August before I went into CBB.

'But the difference now is I’m exercising because it’s good for my brain, it makes me feel good.

'I don’t exercise because I want to be skinny, although the upside is you do look better.

'With Liam, I did lots of boxing and some really tough work with kettlebells, which are a killer!'

Kerry added: 'Being healthy is manageable as long as you’re in a routine. You need to eat little and often – but I don’t like the word diet.

'2011 was a massive turning point, personally and career-wise. I’m proud of the struggles I’ve overcome; hopefully I’ve helped men and women going through bankruptcy, divorce and all that!

'I’ve turned down doing another reality TV show and I feel like I’ve got my life back - and, more importantly, I’ve got my private life back.

'I’m out of bankruptcy, my divorce is finalised and I have custody of kids, what more could I ask for?'

'I'm in love with him': Kerry Katona puckers up to her latest man as she declares he is 'The One' after just a few weeks

By Daily Mail Reporter


'The One': We've heard it before but this time Kerry Katona insists she's in love with new boyfriend, artist Steve Alce


This week she announced she's managed to clear her hefty debts, and now things are looking up for troubled star Kerry Katona even more.

The former pop star has declared her love for artist Steve Alce, insisting he is The One after meeting him at a charity dinner just a few weeks ago.

With two failed marriages behind her, the 31-year-old has failed to settle down again as she continued to fall for a number of disastrous suitors.


But despite her previous mishaps, Kerry is convinced this time she's found a man who doesn't want to be with her for her fame.

And although it's only early days, Kerry has already fallen head over heels for the 34-year-old.

The besotted star tells the Daily Mirror: 'I’m in love with him. I really, really like him. He is lovely... kind and caring.

Tender: Kerry Katona is putting her disastrous former relationships behind her with new man Steve


'Steve is so unlike other men I have been with and I can honestly say I have never felt this ­strongly about anyone before.

'He is not with me because of my fame and wants to stay out of the limelight. He likes Kerry being Kerry and takes me for who I am.

'He is quiet and thoughtful – almost mysterious – which I love.'

Laughing: The mother-of-four went for a romantic stroll with her new beau near her Surrey home


The pair met at a Sportsman's Dinner last month, which Kerry attended with her Celebrity Big Brother pal Paddy Doherty.

And Steve, from Lewisham, east London, appears to be just as loved up with the reality star.

The pair were spotted laughing and enjoying each other's company as they spent time near Kerry's Surrey home over the weekend.

Steve and Kerry shared a tender kiss and went for a romantic stroll in a nearby park on Saturday afternoon.

Single: Kerry has been spotted out on her own in recent times


A source added: 'Kerry is madly in love and says Steve is ‘The One’. He is fairly wealthy in his own right and not at all fazed by her fame.'

Kerry, who has four children, including two from her marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden, is also celebrating after clearing the remainder of her debt.

The former Atomic Kitten star used some of her £350,000 appearance fee for her sting on Celebrity Big Brother to clear the enormous debts, which at one point reached £417,000.

And it's about time Kerry put the past behind her following new revelations from her former boyfriend Steve Nuttall.

Earlier this month Steve described his time with the star as like a 'horror movie' and claimed he ended their two-month union by text because she turned out to be a 'bitter disappointment'.
