Kerry Katona has revealed how she has spent months walking around with a broken foot after a fall last year. The former Atomic Kitten star has told how she suffered a fall while filming a TV show last year but despite being in pain, didn't get her foot checked out.
And it wasn't until she decided to go and get some physio as she embarks on a new fitness journey that the mum-of-five discovered she had broken her foot.
"I’m on a mission to lose some weight," Kerry wrote in her latest OK! Magazine column. "As I write this, I’ve just finished a workout on the treadmill. I’m done with feeling crap about myself – it’s about time I did something about it.

I’m still slightly swollen and I’m not ready to show off my stomach just yet, but I’m feeling positive. Surgery isn’t just a quick fix – I need to put in the work, too."
The 42-year-old added: "But I do need to take it steady, as I’ve found out I have a broken foot! I fell over while filming a TV show last year and never got it checked out. I’ve been in agony ever since, but just got on with it. I recently went for some physio and was told it’s broken, so I’ve been walking around with a broken."
It comes after she revealed she is having an overhaul after being diagnosed with Lipoedema, an abnormal build-up of fat in the legs and sometimes arms. The condition, which is more common in women, can be painful and affect daily life according to the NHS.
