Kerry Katona has boasted that she can ‘still pull younger men’ thanks to her many cosmetic surgeries – but admits they have left her looking like an ‘Etch A Sketch MILF.’
The mother-of-five, 43, told the Mail’s new comedy podcast Straight to the Comments! that she struggles to remember the names of all her children and has to Google their birthdays while comparing her Cheshire home to an ‘orphanage.’
Speaking about her cosmetic work, Kerry, who’s previously had a tummy tuck and multiple boob jobs, said she’s recently had an ‘eye lift’ and although going under the knife keeps her looking young, she’s like a piece of IKEA flat pack furniture and needs putting together at the beginning of each day.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, whose personal trainer fiancé Ryan Mahoney is seven years her junior, has five children, daughters Molly, 22, and Lilly-Sue, 21, from her marriage to West Life star Brian McFadden, Heidi, 17, and Maxwell, 15, who she shares with Mark Croft, and DJ, nine, whose father is the late George Kay.
She joked: ‘It’s like an orphanage in my house… I’ve got that many kids, I can’t remember their names, different dads…’

Kerry continued: ‘Well, I’m 44 this year, they’re eight and a half years younger than me so I can still pull them, but I think I’m done.
‘I just had an eye lift so that’s probably helped. Honestly, it’s like an Etch A Sketch under here the amount of s*** I’ve had done. I’m like a flat pack from IKEA, I come with instructions on how to put me together in the morning.’
When asked about her engagement to Ryan, who’s been her partner for the past six years, Kerry said she’s ‘scared’ to walk down the aisle following her three failed marriages.
She said: ‘F*** knows, I get scared… one minute I like him, the next minute I don’t.
‘I’m joking, I love him to bits but I have been married three times, I’ve been divorced twice and I’m now a widow and I do want to get married.
‘I believe everyone deserves a happily ever after no matter what you’ve been through, we all deserve to be loved.’
The OnlyFans star explained how she now works with photographers to set up her own paparazzi pictures after realising she could make money from publicising her image.
Kerry reflected on one beach holiday where she made the jaws drop of a group of ‘young lads’ who she caught gawping at her in a bikini.
She said: ‘It took me a long time to get to that stage.
‘I think I was sat eating a burger, I had a pint, and I was topless on a beach bed and the picture went for £75,000 and I went, hang on a f***ing minute, why aren’t I making any of this money and I have a s*** load of kids? So, from that moment on, I would do my own setup pap pictures.
‘I’m like, I’m going away on holiday, let’s get a load of pictures out. Last time I went, I’m on holiday and I’m walking out the sea, and all these young lads are looking at me and I thought, yeah, I know I’m a MILF but they’re a bit young aren’t they looking at me like that and I look and there’s a pap in the bush…’
While discussing the highs and lows of her career, which has seen the TV personality battle drug addiction, bankruptcy and learning how to cope with her bipolar disorder, Kerry insists ‘money means f*** all’ and she cares the most about being a mother to her children.
After being raised in foster homes, the star says she doesn’t recall a time in her life when she felt financially stable, and she prefers to remember the happy memories she has made with her family.

She said: ‘When I left Atomic Kitten, I had £30,000 in my bank and I bought my mum a house with it and I moved to Ireland with Brian McFadden.
‘I got pregnant with Mollie and I didn’t want to be rich and famous, I just wanted to be a mum and a wife, that was my dream… I thought this is it and I walked away from it all, but it didn’t let me.
‘I have been on every side of the coin you can think of, I have come from getting my clothes off a carboy sale to going on the rob, having nothing to open on Christmas morning to becoming a millionaire, bankrupt, but money means f*** all, it just gives you options.
‘All I can take with me on my death bed are the memories I create with my children.’
