Kerry Katona reveals she's had legs drained after being diagnosed with lymphedema

Kerry Katona has revealed she's had her 'legs drained' after being diagnosed with lymphedema.

The mum-of-five, 42, revealed she had the treatment shortly after her second tummy tuck.

Kerry admitted the botched operation in 2021 made her 'want to cry'.

However, she's now on the mend after treating her lymphedema, which causes a build-up of lymph fluid in the body.

Speaking about her latest procedure, she said: "I visited Tam at body sculpting clinic Touch of Health for lymphatic drainage as I've been diagnosed with lymphedema, where your body swells due to a build-up of lymph fluid.

"I have it in my legs and it might have to be operated on. I'm hoping the drainage will be enough to help it," she told OK! magazine.

Kerry's treatment comes after the star revealed she'd had another tummy tuck after her initial surgery didn't go to plan.

The former face of Iceland didn't tell anyone about the operation, which she said left her feeling 'lumpy' and 'swollen'.

Admitting she was in tears after 'not recognising' her body, the star has gone under the knife again - but says this time she's happy with the results.

Explaining how desperate she was to have the corrective surgery, she told OK! magazine: "I’ve been waiting so long for this surgery after having my tummy tuck in 2021 with a different clinic."

Kerry is engaged to personal trainer Ryan Mahoney - although admitted she's not sure she'll become his wife, despite already having bought her wedding dress.

The star spoke about the fact she may not get married to her long-term partner - even though they have been together for five years.

Referring to her "fair share of divorces", Kerry admitted marriage can be "scary".

But while admitting she and Ryan fight like "cat and dog", the OnlyFans star insists she'll be with her man "forever".

Speaking to New! magazine about Magic Mike star Channing Tatum ruling out marriage in the future, she said: "Channing Tatum has admitted he'll probably never marry again after reflecting on his 'super scary divorce'. I've been through my fair share of divorces, so I do understand how he feels and it is scary.

"Me and Ryan fight like cat and dog but I love him to bits and I know I'll be with him forever. In all honesty, I don't know when we'll get married. I just think if something is good, why change it? Why do we need to get married?"
