Kerry Katona was forced to pull out of one of her final panto performances after suffering a nasty injury on stage, but her daughter literally stepped into her shoes and saved the show. Kerry has been starring in pantomime in Lincoln as the ugly sister Botox.
The mother-of-five was disappointed after she fell on stage and and twisted her ankle mid-performance on Saturday, January 7. The 42-year-old told her followers on Instagram: "Just bloody fell and rolled my ankle!! In the middle of a show!!!"
In a video shared from the green room, as Kerry rested with her leg up, she spoke about the painful accident but was full of pride and praise for her daughter Lilly, 19, who kept the laughs coming in as her understudy. Lilly, Kerry's youngest of two daughters ex husband with former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, had been starring alongside her mum as Baby Botox in the show.

"I've really hurt my foot," she said. "Our Lilly went on as my understudy." Indicating the laughter coming from the audience, Kerry said: "She's up there, listen to the laughs she's getting. She's done amazing."
Kerry said she was "gutted" to miss the performance. "I can't go on because there's nine costume changes and I practically live on that stage," she explained. And she added admiringly about Lilly: "I'm so proud of our Lilly. She went out there as me and did it like that. I think I might be out of a job."
Over on her Instagram Lilly said: "Stepping in with five minutes notice was scary but I couldn't have done it without my panto fam." And she shared a picture of herself in her elaborate costume with her co-star.
Kerry previously showed off a fake set of breasts that she's been sporting for her role. She smiled into the camera as she greeted fans in a video from backstage shared on her Instagram and, wearing a purple vest top over her padded bra she explained that her "really big" chest wasn't real.
"Before you all say anything, I've got a fake bra on and it's full of padding that makes me look really big," she said. "It's fake and I've got a fake bum on."
Kerry was also excited to report that she had just taken part in their own version of the hit BBC reality contest The Traitors with her panto castmates. "We've just played Traitors. I was an original traitor," she said gleefully. "I got kicked out."
The star from Warrington cheered as she told fans that 'the traitors' had won the game. "We've played a great game. Everybody played really well. It's been absolutely brilliant. The traitors won."
Kerry is now calling for a celeb version. "The traitors!!!! What a game!!!! They have to do a Celeb one!!! I sooooo wanna do it xxxx" she typed on her Instagram.
