KERRY Katona has revealed her matching tattoos with daughters Heidi and Lilly-Sue – yet some fans aren’t impressed.
The former Atomic Kitten songstress, 44, took to her Instagram page to showcase the intricate designs inked onto their forearms.
They showed dark straight lines making a star-shaped symbol, with tiny black dots at the ends.
In her proud caption, mum of five Kerry tagged her girls and wrote: “@lils.mc @heidikatona and myself by @123_mollymc.”
Kerry finished with the word: “Memories!” and a series of red love heart Emoji icons.
Yet some followers were less than impressed by the matching body art with one posting: “Not very straight lines and looks like they made a bit of a mess of Heidi’s on the top right looking at the pic.
“But I love the idea behind them. I’d love to get a matching tattoo with eldest.”
Another posted: “They forget about growing up and how awful they look.
“Victoria Beckham has had all hers removed because as an older woman they look bad with elegant clothes etc.”
Another simply quizzed: “What do they mean?”
Yet other fans of the Whole Again hitmaker were quick to support her choice.
One gushed how the designs were “beautiful” while another put “so special.”
A third commented: “Love this.
“I’d like something like that with my girls.”
Kerry is mum to Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 14, and eight-year-old DJ from previous relationships.
Here we look at the star's changing face - from fresh-faced pop singer to the latest £3,000 tweakment.
Kerry first went under the knife in 2004 for a boob job, and again in 2008 for another breast enhancement and liposuction.
In 2010 she also revealed she had tried to turn back time with some facial tweaks.
Kerry was bitten by the vampire facial bug in 2013 and feared she would die after a shocking reaction to the procedure, popularised by Kim Kardashian.
In 2019, Kerry sparked outrage by endorsing a ‘Katona Package’ at a London clinic offering “2ml face filler and one area fat dissolving” for £699.
When the mum-of-five approached her 40th, she celebrated with fillers and fat-dissolving injections in her chin to “enhance my natural beauty”.
Two years later Kerry joked she’d got a “brand new face” after a procedure called CoolSculpting, which freezes fat cells under the skin and destroys them. She had some fat removed from her chin and Botox injections.
In 2023, the TV star revealed a tighter jawline after treating herself to a “non-invasive facelift”.
In early 2024, Kerry had a much more invasive eye lift and brow lift in January, at a cost of over £3,000.
In February former Atomic Kitten singer told how she previously ruled out having baby number six, despite fiance Ryan Mahoney having no biological children of his own.
She made her shock reveal after bluntly telling her man to “leave her” if he wanted children.
At the time, she said: “I don’t want to deprive him – in fact, I’ve given him a pass and said, ‘If this is something you want to pursue leave me now!’
“I never want someone to not have that feeling of having their own child.”
In July, Kerry revealed she hadn’t seen her eldest daughter Molly, 22, for almost a year.
Molly, who the popstar shares with first husband Brian McFadden, lives in Ireland – her dad’s home country – but maintains a very close relationship with both parents.
Writing in a recent OK! column, Kerry said: “Lilly and Molly are both coming home this week from Ireland for a visit and I can’t wait to have them back.
“I haven’t seen Molly in almost a year! We talk on the phone every single day, but she just hasn’t been home to visit in a while.
“Lilly is getting on great too, she’s really settled and has got a good job over in Ireland, I’m proud of her.
“It’s nice for me to see my kids flourish. I’ve done my parenting bit and now it’s their turn to live lives.”
BIG Brother’s Nadia Almada looks worlds away from her Channel 4 fame, 20 years after winning the show.
Nadia, 47, showed off her six stone weight loss on holiday in Gran Canaria today, flaunting her new figure on the beach.
The reality legend sported a blue bikini while taking a dip in the ocean – before washing the sea water off in a beachside shower.
Nadia is proudly embracing the transformation following her gastric sleeve surgery.
After flying to Turkey for the procedure in March, she has shed an impressive six stone, going from 17st 6lb to 11st 8lb.
Nadia recently told OK! that she had been consuming an overwhelming amount of food prior to the procedure, despite adhering to a vegan lifestyle.
She confessed: “I was a fully-fledged carbo-tarian. It was so bad that I’d eat two large pizzas with three sides in one night – and that was meant for a family of four. It’s crazy.
“I was a size 20 and a shadow of my former self. I had no stamina, no energy, no vitality – and there was a higher risk of having major heart problems or a stroke from the weight that I’d been carrying.”
Nadia jokingly added that she couldn’t even wear heels because of the swelling in her feet but now feels like she has had a “fresh beginning”.
She said: “It’s a new start, a fresh beginning. I feel prettier slender, but it’s not just the physical side, I’m also happy that I’ve been able to reverse a lot of the damage that I’d done to my body.”
She went on to share that in just three months, her cholesterol and thyroid levels had improved significantly, describing the surgery as “life-saving” and saying she now has much more energy.
Nadia also acknowledged the challenges of adjusting to life post-surgery, particularly in balancing her emotional eating habits with her body’s actual needs.
To manage her portions, she said she now uses side plates instead of larger dishes, as part of her ongoing efforts to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
The Portuguese reality star was Big Brother’s first ever transgender contestant when she walked into the house in 2004.
Nadia was loud and proud, wearing her heart on her sleeve, and often paraded around the house with big black hair and in glam outfits.
She quickly became very popular with viewers thanks to her fiery temper and hilarious humour.
Back in her Big Brother glory days Nadia’s Diary Room appearances proved very emotional.
She was worried the UK public would judge her for keeping her transgender identity a secret.
Of course, that only made her triumphant exit even more emotional – especially as she scooped 74 per cent of the vote.
When host Davina McCall announced she was the winner, beating Jason Cowan and Daniel Bryan, she screamed with joy.
That series was the one with the infamous Fight Night.
The furious display happened after contestants Emma Greenwood and Michelle Bass, who housemates thought had been booted out, returned and let everyone know they’d seen all that had been said about them.
One thing led to another – especially given there was booze involved – and things became so heated security had to calm things down.
After her win, Nadia released a single called A Little Bit of Action.
And in 2010 Nadia had another stay in the famous house as part of Ultimate Big Brother, where she was pitted against other previous contestants including Makosi Musambasi and Josie Gibson.
The late rapper Coolio was also there, with Nadia and Gangster’s Paradise star having several blazing rows.
These days it seems Nadia is much calmer, living life as a hair stylist in London.
DURING his impressive footballing career, Paul Gascoigne played for Tottenham, Newcastle United, Everton and Rangers.
Away from his history on the pitch, Gazza is also a proud father of three children. Here we take a look at the lives of Mason, Bianca and Regan.
Mason is the oldest, born in 1989, in Cambridgeshire.
He is the son of Sheryl Gascoigne and her first husband Colin Kyle but was adopted by Paul Gascoigne, and took his surname.
Sheryl and Gazza were married from 1996 until 1998.
In 2021, it was revealed that Mason and his partner Jaimee Wyatt had welcomed a son.
A source told The Sun on Sunday at the time: “Gazza is over the moon.
“It’s just the bit of good news he needs.”
Bianca Gascoigne is a model and a reality star, known for shows like Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity SAS.
Born on October 28, 1986, like Mason, she is also the daughter of Sheryl and first husband Colin, and was adopted by Gazza.
As a model, she has appeared on the cover of Loaded and in Maxim, FHM and numerous tabloid newspapers.
Bianca has starred in countless reality TV shows, including the original version of Love Island, which she went on to win in 2006.
Bianca starred in the nineteenth series of Channel 5 reality show Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, placing sixth.
Bianca also competed on Ballando Con Le Stelle, the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing, where she finished as the runner-up.
Regan Gascoigne is a dancer and the only biological son of Paul and Sheryl.
At just six-years-old he discovered his love for performing arts and at age eight, he enrolled into the Hammond Ballet School.
Regan then studied Musical Theatre at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, and toured with the English National Ballet in the Nutcracker.
He came out as bisexual in 2021, with his father’s full support and admiration.
Regan told Lorraine: “I’ve never actually come out. I’ve never made a point of coming out. I’ve just let it happen organically… when they asked me if I told dad I said no.
“But then I saw the article and headline and thought, ‘oh I’ve got to text him now’.”
“His response was exactly what I thought, he said ‘I still love you no matter what’.”
In January 2022, Paul wiped tears as he watched Regan’s stellar performance on Dancing On Ice, with pro partner Karina Manta.
His son then went onto win the show in March 2022.
MANCHESTER UNITED have shared their plans surround a possible move away from Old Trafford.
Ineos have envisioned a new 100,000-seat state-of-the-art stadium being built on the current Old Trafford site.
The club released the first pictures of what the proposed new arena could look like last month.
And now Man Utd will host several fan focus groups to give supporters their say on the future of Old Trafford, report Manchester Evening News.
A fan consultation phase is part of the regeneration project and fans were contacted with a survey last month.
Man Utd want thousands of fans to respond so the club understands what supporters want from a world class stadium.
The club are still yet to decide on whether there will be a complete new build or a redevelopment of Old Trafford.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to build a new ground on the land adjacent to Old Trafford and pics of what the stadium could look like have been released.
The computer generated images have “New Trafford” circular in shape with a huge roof seen from a bird’s eye view.
Another snap shows a massive Man Utd badge on the side of the ground as red lights brighten a path full of fans walking to the turnstiles.

MANCHESTER UNITED plan to build a new stadium rather than redevelop Old Trafford.
The decision was made after a number of fact-finding missions to other stadiums including the Bernabeu and Nou Camp.
The cost of the project is expected to be a staggering £2billion.
A capacity of 100,000 is expected.
It is felt that a club of United’s standing should have a new state-of-the-art facility.
The new stadium will be built on land adjacent to the Red Devils’ current home.
United are looking to not only build a stadium but regenerate the area of Trafford where the ground will stand.
There had been plans to KEEP Old Trafford rather than demolish it, and use it as a scaled down second venue.
However, it’s looking increasing likely that it will in fact be entirely demolished.
The club consulted with 30,000 fans about what to do and believe there is roughly a 50-50 split on staying or moving.
The club have appointed the architects Foster + Partners to come up with a “masterplan”. The company were behind Wembley Stadium.
Old Trafford has been United’s home since 1910.
The target is for completion by 2030.
A closer look from a building next to the arena features a gallery and huge windows that look out to a park and statues of United legends.
Foster + Partners, who designed Wembley Stadium, are the architects that have made the latest drawings.
They have also put together a map of what the area could look like, with the “urban regeneration” spreading across the whole of the Trafford Park region.
The regeneration project could cost £2billion with new houses, commercial areas and improved transport links all part of the proposal.
XABI ALONSO is being considered as Pep Guardiola’s successor at Manchester City, according to reports.
Guardiola has hinted that this could be his final season at the Etihad with his deal up at the end up the season.
However, City chiefs have reportedly already lined up their replacement in the form of Bayer Leverkusen boss Alonso.
According to Sky Sport Germany, the Bundesliga outfit are resigned to losing the former midfielder next summer despite his contract expiring in the 2025/26 season.
Alonso guided them to a remarkable unbeaten league and DFB-Pokal winning campaign as well as the Europa League final last season.
He committed to the German side over the summer after turning down the chance to replace Jurgen Klopp at ex-club Liverpool.
The Premier League-topping Reds are currently out of the race due to their happiness with Arne Slot.
But the 42-year-old is once again being lined up by European heavyweights this summer, with City and former club Real Madrid both holding “concrete interest” in a deal.
Man City goalkeeper Ederson believes club chiefs have already sorted out the next manager once 53-year-old Guardiola departs.
Alonso could face competition from Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim, who has been tipped to take over following the announcement that close pal Hugo Viana will move to City as director of football in the summer.

In a boost to City and Madrid, Leverkusen have also already started searching for a successor.
The report suggests that VfB Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeneß and Germany assistant manager Sandro Wagner are being considered.
