Kerry Katona laments her 'really swollen body' ahead of surgery to fix botched tummy tuck

Kerry Katona has opened up about her body issues, admitting she feels uncomfortable in her 'really swollen body' after failing to look after herself properly after undergoing a tummy tuck.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, is now looking ahead to corrective surgery to help her with her body struggles.

Brave Kerry showed off her swollen midriff and lifted the lid on her plans to have even more surgery in just a matter of weeks.

The mum-of-five is scheduled in to have corrective surgery in January, and while she's there, she thought she would kill two birds with one stone and undergo an eyelid lift at the same time.

While backstage during her panto on Tuesday, Kerry posted a video of herself as she revealed her corrective surgery saga.

"Can’t wait for January in fact, I think I might just move in with you guys!!! Getting my eye lift too!! Woohooo," she penned alongside the video.

Speaking in the Instagram video, she also admitted: "I never looked after myself properly and I've messed it all up, my body is really swollen."

"I've got a bad back and hip at the moment and I feel like an old woman wobbling around," Kerry also recently penned in her new! magazine column.

The former Celebs Go Dating star explained that she had endured the pain issues for years.

"I don't know what's going on with my body. I'm really swollen and it hasn't got any better. I ended up going to A&E as I was so worried about it. They've told me they need to investigate further.

"So for now, my doctor at Pall Mall Cosmetics has given me some water tablets which will hopefully help with the swelling."

Kerry continued: "I'm really looking forward to having my corrective surgery with them - and my eyelid lift."

The swelling has got so bad recently, that Kerry has sometimes struggled to breathe while lying down in bed.

"I was lying down in bed and I felt like I couldn't breathe. My throat and chest felt really tight, it was awful. I felt like I was going to die. My body has been swollen since I had surgery last year," Kerry wrote in her column.

"My whole body is sore and puffy - my legs, my stomach, my face, my neck. I feel like I need popping."

Kerry has undergone a number of cosmetic procedures on her body - most recently, going under the knife to have her third breast reduction.
