I feel swollen and sore after stomach surgery – I’m scared to show off and cover up on holiday, says Kerry Katona

KERRY Katona has opened up on feeling swollen and sore after undergoing surgery on her stomach.

The mother-of-five admitted she has been afraid to show off her tummy on holiday, covering up with clothes.

Kerry, 42, admitted she was still feeling "self conscious" after undergoing corrective surgery for a botched tummy tuck.

The star was seen wearing a tummy binder while on holiday in Turkey as she revealed she "wasn't ready" to show the result.

Kerry told : "I’m feeling much better than I did, but I’m still feeling really swollen and uncomfortable after the operation and I’m not back to myself just yet."

The singer, who is mum to Molly, 21, and Lilly, 20, with ex Brian McFadden, Heidi, 16, and Max, 14, with Mark Croft, and DJ, eight, with the late George Kay, said the trip was a struggle.

“I still don’t feel ready to show off my body – I’ve been covering up while I’m here in Turkey,” she added.

“I’m still self-conscious and I’m just not 100% confident yet."

It comes after Kerry hit out over sexism after it was revealed Jude Law is a father to seven children by four mums.

The former Atomic Kitten singer says she suffered abuse for having five kids by three different dads.

Meanwhile Jude has been treated differently, she insists, after he became a dad for the seventh time recently.

He and wife Phillipa Coan, 35, a behavioural psychologist, who had their first baby in 2020 during lockdown, have now welcomed a second

Jude also has three kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost: Rafferty, 26; Iris, 22; and 20-year-old Rudy.

He has a daughter Sophia, 13, with model Samantha Burke, who he met while filming Sherlock Holmes. They had already split when Samantha discovered she was pregnant.

Jude also has a seven-year-old daughter Ada with singer Catherine Harding.

Kerry wrote in New Magazine: "Jude Law has reportedly become a father again, making him a dad-of-seven by four mums - I didn't even realise he had so many kids!

"It's lovely news, but I do think that men are treated differently to women.

"I doubt he would be labelled as a '7x4 dad', whereas I've received a lot of c**p for being a '5x3 mum' in the past."
