Kerry Katona vowed to kick off 2025 with a makeover and had booked a lower facelift at a UK clinic. However, in an exclusive interview, the 44-year-old reveals she has cancelled the procedure after her eldest children begged her not to go through with it.
“I just don’t think now is the right time,” says Kerry, who last year underwent a corrective nose op. “My eldest three girls really didn't want me to do it, they were begging me not to, saying, 'Please don't.”
Mum-of-five Kerry has daughters Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 21, with her first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 17, and son Max, 16, with second husband Mark Croft, and 10-year-old DJ, with her late husband George Kay, who passed away in 2019.
It was the input from her children that put her off the operation, which she previously said she was “excited” about.
“I knew they didn't want me to, so that massively impacted my decision,” she says. “It is hard for the kids to see me recovering - that's why I stay at my mum's after surgery so they aren't exposed to it. The results are always amazing but I'm just not there yet.”
