Kerry Katona has revealed that she recently underwent corrective breast surgery and is now following strict medical advice to rest after rupturing tissue in her chest. The 45-year-old star, who had a breast uplift and new implants only a few months ago in August, admitted that the complication happened because she pushed herself too quickly afterward and failed to give her body the time it needed to recover.

Fresh off her UK tour with Katie Price, Kerry shared in her exclusive new! magazine column that the unexpected operation has forced her to scale back her normally fast-paced schedule. As a busy mum of five with a packed calendar, slowing down is no easy task — but doctors have insisted she take a proper break. Fortunately, she says she hasn’t had to go through any of it alone. Her boyfriend Paolo has been “incredibly supportive,” staying by her side before and after the operation and helping her manage her recovery at home. Kerry gushed that she “really does love that man” for the comfort and reassurance he has given her.

Despite the setback, Kerry’s spirits remain high, especially with Christmas approaching. This year will mark her first festive season with Paolo and his two daughters, together with Kerry’s own five children. She described it as a particularly meaningful Christmas for their blended family, saying she values creating memories far more than gifts. To make the home feel magical, she has hired her usual decorating team, Decorators For Christmas. After experimenting with elaborate themes such as The Grinch in previous years, she’s chosen a warm, family-oriented Home Alone style for this season — fitting for a house full of excited children and new traditions.

Kerry also took a moment to send heartfelt support to Davina McCall, who recently revealed she has undergone surgery for breast cancer. Kerry emphasized how grateful she is that Davina’s diagnosis came early and praised her courage in speaking openly about such a frightening experience. She noted that Davina, who also faced a brain tumour last year, continues to inspire others by sharing her story and raising awareness.

Turning to television news, Kerry weighed in on the latest twist introduced on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! The show has rolled out a new rule limiting campmates to being selected for Bushtucker Trials no more than twice in a row — a change Kerry fully supports. She believes it will help viewers get to know more contestants and keep the series feeling fresh, especially in an era where so many people stream episodes. Kerry plans to follow the show closely from home while she recovers, snacks in hand, watching alongside her kids.

Finally, with her movement currently limited due to surgery, Kerry says she has been dedicating more time to her OnlyFans content. Being unable to take on her usual in-person work has pushed her to become more active on the platform, and she teased subscribers by saying she’ll be showing off her “new boobs in all their glory.” She’s using the downtime to upload more photos, videos, and exclusive material than ever before — encouraging fans to subscribe if they haven’t already.
