'I've never been sick so much in my life'

Reality TV veteran Kerry Katona has had to endure some stomach-churning challenges in her time, but drinking her own urine? That was a first.

The mum-of-five is appearing in E4’s The Big Celebrity Detox, alongside former Love Island stars Megan Barton-Hanson and Toby Aromolaran, and – drum roll – Princess Olga Romanoff, a cousin of our late Queen Elizabeth II.

As well as quaffing her own wee, viewers will see Kerry experience open grave therapy, where she has to lie for a prolonged period in a hole in the ground, and seed therapy, a type of acupressure where seeds, pulses and legumes are applied to points on the body to release pressure.

Our columnist says she didn’t hesitate to sign up for the show, as she’s a “spiritual” person and had been impressed with the results when she tried “micro-dosing” (taking tiny, sub-hallucinogenic doses of a psychedelic substance) magic mushrooms in Marbella with her fiancé, Ryan Maloney, six months ago.

“I cried my eyes out – it was incredibly emotional and I felt a huge weight had been lifted afterwards,” she says of the experience. “So I was up for trying other types of therapies.”

Kerry, who is mum to Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 14, and nine-year-old Dylan-Jorge (aka DJ), says the main reason for doing the show, which was filmed in Thailand, was to get her body confidence back after gaining 3st in weight.

She also wanted to address traumas from her past, including her years spent living in foster homes as a child, her cocaine addiction, and the death of her ex-husband George Kay due to a drugs overdose in 2019.
