Kerry Katona has said she is "so happy" and "can't wait to feel more like me again" after having a corrective tummy tuck last week.
Chatting exclusively to new just 36 hours after her operation, Kerry revealed she had spent months crying over her body after a previous tummy tuck in 2021 left her feeling "lumpy" and "swollen".
She had her corrective procedure at Pall Mall Cosmetics in Manchester last Tuesday.
Now feeling reinvigorated, our columnist wants to kick-start a healthier lifestyle - and reveals she is "on a mission" to lose 3st by her 43rd birthday in September.
Kerry said, "I've been waiting so long for this surgery after having my tummy tuck in 2021 with a different clinic.
"My body hasn't been the same since.
My stomach was all swollen and all the fat was stuck at the top - it shouldn't be like that. It was all lumpy and uneven.
"It was my own fault because I didn't allow time for my body to recover. I went straight back to work when I should have been resting. So Pall Mall have been live savers and have corrected it all for me. And this time, I'm making sure I recover properly."
In her memoir Kerry Katona: Whole Again, which was released last year, the Atomic Kitten singer explained how she moved house when she should have been giving her tummy tuck surgery time to heal in 2021.
She said the procedure was the "worst thing" she's ever done and added it was her "own fault" that she didn't have time to "let [her] body recover".
