Kerry Katona has asked fans for prayers as she revealed that her mum Sue is in hospital after suffering a heart attack. The former Atomic Kitten singer looked upset as she addressed fans in a video released with her mum's blessing on Instagram.
Mother-of-five Kerry told followers that her mum was still in hospital, but she was unable to see her because she's on tour in an Easter pantomime production of The Wizard of Oz. The emotional star spoke out with Sue's permission to let fans know she's doing okay.
"Just letting you know for those who are not aware, my mum suffered a heart attack on Thursday," she said. "She is in hospital as we speak, but she wanted me to let you know she is doing okay. She's in the best place for her."

Kerry explained: "I've got two shows and then another two shows to do tomorrow. It's been great fun this panto but I can't wait to get home and go and see my mum."

Kerry and her family went through heartache a few months ago when her Range Rover was stolen at Christmas while she was shopping in Oldham. The former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! winner's car was stolen in December with her kids' Christmas presents inside.
In an emotional video, Kerry said she she felt 'violated' and urged her followers to help track down the vehicle. She shared the video to her Instagram which showed her sitting 'stranded' inside a JD store at Elk Mill, Oldham, with staff trying to help her calm down.
Holding back the tears she explained: "My car has been stolen I'm in Oldham, I'm with Heidi and my daughter DJ." She added: "It's a private reg with Katona. If anyone sees it please phone the police, it's got all Christmas presents in the back."
She added: "It's got a Louis Vuitton bag in the back, it's got iPads in the back. So, if anybody finds it, please, please, ring the police."
Then, while battling Covid, Kerry was left "in bits" after her fiancé's Mercedes was also stolen from their driveway just days after her own car was taken. In a tearful appeal on her Instagram Stories she said: "Two cars in 11 days! I’ve been watched and followed! I don’t feel safe!!" and she added: "Absolutely heartbroken. While my babies slept they came to my home!!"
