Kerry Katona has issued a health update after telling fans she was rushed to hospital with fears she was "going to die".
The former Atomic Kitten singer, from Warrington, said her throat and chest became swollen which caused her to struggle to breathe. The 42-year-old has since told her Instagram followers she feels "absolutely fine", before explaining what was going on.
In a video filmed from her panto dressing room, the mum-of-five said: "I'm getting lots of messages about... me being in A&E while I've been here with swelling. I'm absolutely fine thank god for Pall Mall. Last year I had surgery down south at a different hospital and I never looked after myself properly so my body's all really swollen."

Kerry said she had had a tummy tuck and was left with a swollen abdomen. She continued: "Thank god for Pall Mall they're going to do corrective surgery on me in January. Got my breast reduction with them which I'm made up with.
"Big thank you to everybody who's been asking me if I'm ok I'm fine. That's it really a big thank you to everyone who's been worried about me. [My swollen tummy] has got me really down."
Kerry also said she is getting an eyelift in the new year. Fans were quick to wish the star well.
Taking to the comments section, Lisa said: "Glad you're ok, love you Kerry [because] you are straight to the point with everyone and honest. Have a great time at panto and have a great Christmas". Loraine said: "Get well soon x".
Lisa said: "Good luck with the panto and good luck with the surgery after", while Tim said: "You are amazing, you inspire me".
