Kerry Katona has vowed to slim down to a size eight next year after her weight crept up to 13 stone.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, pledged to overhaul her body after putting on two-and-a-half stone and also being diagnosed with Lipoedema, with the star telling how she’s the ‘biggest I’ve ever been.’
Speaking in her new OK! magazine column, Kerry has told how she’s embarked on a new diet and fitness plan with the help of her pal Carla and is determined to shed the pounds.
She wrote: ‘I’ve started following the Francis Diet, created by fitness coach Scott Francis who is an absolute genius. And it’s all down to my friend Carla. When I first met her three years ago she was 14st and now she’s 8st 7lb.
‘She looks amazing. I’m currently 13st, the biggest I’ve ever been, so I want to change that. With this diet, you’re responsible for your own actions, so I’ve been prepping all my food.’

And Kerry has already been working hard with her image overhaul, with the TV personality recently revealing that she’s already lost 8lb.

Captioning her post, she penned: ‘So I started the @francisdiet last Monday weighing 13s 2 and a half!!! And one week later I’m 8lbs lighter!!!! Over half a stone in a week!
‘AMAZING and I feel great! BUT this is just the beginning!!! Thank you @carlafishwick for being with me on every step of the way!! Got to keep going!! Who’s with me?????? Xxxxxxx.’
It comes after Kerry was recently praised for showing off her natural physique as she shared a video of her exercising on Friday.

‘I was diagnosed lipidaemia [sic] last week which means swelling of the body and random fatty lumps. But f*** that s***!!! Gonna train the s*** out of my body!’.
