Kerry Katona has gone under the knife once again for nose surgery to repair the damage done through past years of cocaine abuse.
Talking exclusively to new afterwards – and sharing photographs of her nose in the aftermath of the operation – Kerry also revealed that she’s hoping the brutal procedure will deter her kids from using drugs.
“I’m in a lot of pain and I’ve not slept for two days because I’m finding it hard without breathing through my nose,” Kerry admitted. “They took a piece of my rib and built it inside my nose – it’s mad. It’s been agony.”
With the former Atomic Kitten singer, 43, recovering and bandaged up, she explained the pain has been difficult to endure.
“I went home after the surgery but the anaesthesia wore off and I was in agony, so I had to go back in at 1am in my pyjamas,” said Kerry. “I get such anxiety when I see the blood and it really freaks me out not being able to breathe properly. I know it’s worth it though.”
Lifting up her top to show the bandage on her torso where the rib cartilage was removed from, she said, laughing, “I completely forgot that I had the rib taken out. I was just thinking of my nose and I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t until I got home and my ribs started to hurt, I thought, ‘Oh yeah, they took out my rib!’ When I cough, it’s painful.”
