Kerry Katona is to undergo surgery to save her nose, after doctors warned her that it is “collapsing” due to years of drug use.
Taking to Instagram last week, the former Atomic Kitten star opened up about the emotional moment the operation – which involves taking a piece of her rib to rebuild her septum – was recommended.
“So I have damaged my nose from doing drugs,” she told her followers. “[The doctor] went, ‘Your nose is collapsing.’
“So he said, ‘Do you want us to fix it for you?’ And I started crying because it’s a massive 360 from where I was to where I am now. And I think, ‘Wow wow wow, OK I’ll get it fixed.’”
Speaking exclusively to new, Kerry, 43, revealed how she previously put off having a nose job, saying the fear of it collapsing deterred her from ever taking drugs again.
“I got offered to get it fixed years ago and said I didn’t want it,” she told us. “When they asked why, I said, ‘It’s a reminder to myself that if I ever touched a line of coke again, it could all collapse.’”
Kerry was visiting Pall Mall Medical for a consultation about a potential eye lift when a doctor told her that her nose is collapsing and raised the topic of surgery.
