Kerry Katona and Katie Price sent fans into overdrive this week when they announced they would be reuniting on stage for a Christmas pantomime, with the duo set to portray wicked stepsisters in Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court, near Chester.

And ahead of the new festive gig, Kerry has taken inspiration from her old pal Katie - who has recently undergone a facelift-to have a makeover herself. Jesting that she doesn't want to be the "ugly stepsister" during the show, Kerry, 44, has revealed that she is also planning to go under the knife for a lower facelift, inspired by Katie.

"I'm so excited to say that I'm heading for a consultation this week for a lower facelift at Pall Mall Medical. After seeing Katie Price and how amazing she looks after her facelift, it has inspired me to do the same," Kerry said.

Katie, 46, has had six facelifts in total, and most recently she headed to Turkey to go under the knife. And while she was spotted in bandages for weeks following the procedure, she is now healed and has been showing off the results on social media.

Kerry is hoping to have the same chiselled look in time for the festive season.

"I've really been noticing the skin around my neck recently and I just want everything lifted," she told us. "I said to Katie, 'I refuse to be the ugly sister when we do panto together this Christmas!"" said Kerry, as she joked she'd even go on stage with bandages on.
