Kerry Katona breaks down in tears as she’s struck down with nasty illness
TEARFUL Kerry Katona looked exhausted and fed up as she continues to battle illness.
The 42-year-old star has had a tough time of late and is tired of feeling under the weather.
She appeared to have wet eyes in an Instagram picture overnight showing her lying down in bed.
Kerry wrote over the top of the image: “Just wanna feel better!!!”
Her prayers were answered a few hours later after she got some shut-eye.
She updated her fans: “Feel loads better after a few hours’ sleep [love hearts].”
Last week Kerry told how she was so fearful for her health that she raced into A&E.
Initially Kerry said she felt unable to breathe, telling fans: “I feel like I need popping.”
When the situation worsened she visited hospital to try and get a diagnosis.
The star told New magazine: “I’m really swollen and it hasn’t got any better. I ended up going to A&E as I was so worried about it.
“They’ve told me that they need to investigate further.
“So for now, my doctor at Pall Mall Cosmetics has given me some water tablets which will hopefully help with the swelling.”
She explained that she had visited the clinic for a consultation for an eyelid lift she had planned to have done.
Kerry explained her ordeal in a previous column, saying: “I was lying down in bed and I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
“My throat and chest felt really tight, it was awful. I felt like I was going to die.”
She added: “My body has been swollen since I had surgery last year. My whole body is sore and puffy – my legs, my stomach, my face, my neck. I feel like I need popping.”
Kerry – whose book Whole Again was recently released – has had many procedures over the years including several boob jobs and reductions, liposuction as well as a tummy tuck.
In a recent episode of the Net Mums podcast she reflected on why she’s gone under the knife so many times.
The singer said: “I started out as a page 3 model, I had a great set of t**s on me. I wasn’t going to be a rocket scientist – that was my get out, I was a pretty girl, I used what god gave me.
“Half my body’s not mine anyway. I’ve been sliced and diced so many bloody times I’m like a flat pack from Ikea.”
