Kerry Katona terrified about surgery to fix botched tummy tuck and 'small' eyelid lift

Kerry Katona has revealed she is set to go under the knife in January.

The reality star, 42, will have corrective surgery on her botched tummy tuck after it went horribly wrong last year and an eyelid lift.

Kerry had secretly undergone the procedure due to her low confidence in being "the heaviest I've ever been" but was left devastated after the removal of her tummy left her with "scarring like the back of a cigarettes packet".

The mother-of-five says she has been so worried about the surgery, she suffered a terrifying panic attack last week which left her feeling like she was about to die.

"I suffer from health anxiety and I’m really scared. I’m having corrective surgery in January with Pall Mall Cosmetics after my tummy tuck last year, so I’m hoping that will help. I’m getting an eyelid lift too. Only a small one – I don’t want cat eyes!", she told OK! Magazine.

"My body has been swollen since I had surgery last year. My whole body is sore and puffy – my legs, my stomach, my face, my neck. I feel like I need popping. Despite being so swollen and in pain, I’m now in panto rehearsals for Cinderella and I’m pushing through. Me and Lilly are having so much fun."

Kerry says she has been hitting the gym with X Factor's Jake Quickenden, who is also starring in the pantomime.

"I’ve been trying to get back into a routine with my fitness and it’s nice to train with a group. We push each other to be motivated," she said.

The former Atomic Kitten star plans to have the procedure next year after admitting putting on two and a half stone recently.

Although she is still raking in a whopping £600,000 a month on OnlyFans, Kerry says her new size 14 figure has left her feeling ‘miserable’.

She also shared her body had become ‘swollen’ after she stopped using the controversial SkinnyJab injection and exercising.

Kerry has a history of yo-yo dieting and has gone from a size 16 to a size 6 in recent years.

She is also no stranger to going under the surgeon’s knife and candidly admits to having work done.

She had her first boob job in 2004 and hit the headlines four years later after splashing out on £15,000 worth of surgery - just four months after giving birth to son Max, who is now 14.

Since then Kerry has had around three liposuction procedures, a non-surgical tightening of her tummy and bum, plus Botox and fillers in her cheeks and lips.

Following a ‘full body MOT’ last year, the former singer revealed she had also had a breast reduction.

Comparing herself to the ‘Honey Monster’, the star said felt like the mascot from the Sugar Puff advertisements and explained how her breasts had been giving her back ache.

After going from a DD to a C cup, she joked she was now part of the 'itty bitty t***y club'.
