Kerry Katona celebrates lookalike daughter Lilly's 19th birthday with unseen snaps

Kerry Katona has celebrated her lookalike daughter Lilly McFadden's birthday with unseen photos from her life.

The teenager, who just turned 19, is the daughter of the reality TV star, 41, and her ex-husband Brian McFadden, also 41 - who were married between 2002 and 2006.

Her birthday today has prompted celebratory posts by both of her parents, with Kerry sharing a series of photos with her almost 800,000 followers on Instagram this morning.

The photos included one of Lilly walking down the street in a pink ensemble and another showed her posing by artwork whilst in a white jumpsuit with a blue jacket draped over her.

The I'm a Celebrity winner also shared older photos of her daughter, with one showing a much younger Lilly holding a microphone and wearing a pink cowboy hat.

She wrote alongside the photos: "Happy birthday my beautiful baby girl ... @lils.mc omg can't believe you're 19. Love you all the time world, so bloody proud of you."

The post has received more than 8,000 likes with a number of her followers expressing well-wishes in the comments.

And presenter Vanessa Feltz, 59, wrote: "She is your double. Bright and beautiful. Happy birthday sweetheart." This sentiment was shared by several other followers.

"She's the spitting image of you when you were her age," one fan said to Kerry. Another wrote: "I thought that was a younger picture of yourself. You're both absolute twins."

Kerry and Lilly appeared together on Celebrity Ghost Trip last year. The show saw pairs of celebrities travel to spooky locations around the UK, led by international tour guide Brendan Sheerin, 62.
