Kerry Katona took to the ring on Tuesday to spar with former professional boxer Ricky Hatton, to help promote her friend Anthony Fowler’s controversial CBD oil.

The Atomic Kitten star, 44, followed in the footsteps of her best pal and fellow TV personality Katie Price, by extoling the merits of the product, founded by former Olympic boxer Anthony, 34.

She slipped her toned figure in a skinтιԍнт red unitard and sported a full face of radiant makeup, before donning a pair of boxing gloves at Ricky’s gym in Manchester.

The trainer, 46, put Kerry through her paces in the ring, while the mother-of-five displayed her stiff uppercut, while still maintaining her glamorous appearance.

After getting back home, she took to her Instagram to reflect on her time taking on Ricky, quipping that she had him scared.

She said: ‘In bed at last, makeup is off. We’ve had a very good day today with Ricky and Anthony. Always with our Anthony, love him to bits.

‘And had a proper giggle with Ricky, did a bit of boxing, a bit of sparring. I know he was scared, I could see the fear in his eyes.’

While in the caption, Kerry made sure to promote Anthony’s business, Supreme CBD, a brand of oil derived from the cannabis plant that contains cannabidiol (CBD).

She said: ‘What a fab day… never thought I’d be in a ring with the one and only @rickyhitmanhatton along side my bestie @afowler06 @serenasophiaxx honestly it’s so good to meet other people who are on the same journey as I am with @supremecbd seeing the difference it has made to peoples lives. 

‘I feel so honoured to be apart of it knowing what it’s done for me and then seeing what it’s done for others.’

While Ricky shared a video of the pair’s bout on X and echoed Kerry’s praise of Supreme CBD, writing:  ‘Great to have @KerryKatona7 and @afowler06 in the gym today, I was telling him how many my friends have dmd me asking does @supreme_cbd really work, they should know I’d never put my name to something that didn’t work for me’.

However, this week has seen former glamour model Katie come under fire for promoting the product, with Anthony slammed as ‘rancid’ for claiming CBD oil ‘healed’ his daughter’s tumour to flog it.

Anthony revealed last year that his daughter Roma, now two, had been suffering with a tumour and that he had used CBD oil to address it, then sharing separate posts boasting about refusing chemotherapy for her.

This week, Katie weighed in by also claiming Anthony’s daughter has been ‘healed’ after the family refused hospital treatment. There is no evidence that CBD oil can cure cancer.

‘Very serious chat with Srena Stregapede and Anthony Fowler about their two-year-old daughter who had a tumour in her leg, they refused hospital treatment and healed her themselves which is amazing,’ she wrote on X.  

‘They was (sic) telling me all about Supreme CBD and how it works for fibromyalgia, arthritis, anxiety/depression any aches/pains or insomnia,’ she wrote, before posting a checkout code that she would profit from. 

It sparked huge backlash as people raged that the pair were ‘irresponsible’ for suggesting CBD could shrink tumours and ‘rancid’ for using Rona’s cancer as a marketing tactic.

They fumed: ‘It’s a big con. You know you are being a con artist’; ‘F****** rancid behaviour’; ‘It does not cure cancer ffs!’; ‘Very serious chat to spread seriously dangerous anti scientific s**** to gullible morons’.

‘It is irresponsible to suggest CBD would shrink a tumour like that. CBD used responsibly & in conjunction with other medicines can have huge pain relieving, calming properties etc. But no reputable CBD supplier would allow endorsement like this, it is illegal to do so’.

Alongside Katie’s post on X, she shared a video lauding CBD, saying: ‘The word CBD has been floating around and all of that. People like me in the beginning were skeptical – like, ‘Oh no!’ – but now you know it’s safe, it’s not a drug’.

However, according to the Mayo Clinic, CBD use ‘carries some risks’ such as ‘mouth, diarrhea, reduced appeтιтe, drowsiness and fatigue.’ 

Anthony, Robbie Fowler’s cousin, shared Katie’s post and responded to criticism, sharing an image which purportedly showed the reduction in his daughter’s tumour size from 37.1mm in diameter to 21.2mm.

He shared an image purporting to be his daughter’s tumour halving in size – after regularly promoting Supreme CBD, which he founded

‘It’s what you call the truth mate me and my partner shrunk my daughters tumour by half using ZERO PHARMACEUTICAL MEDICINE. We going Alder Hey next week for final scan and I bet it’s fully gone now.’

Below, he added that: ‘I never once said it (healing) was the CBD, but that helped her mᴀssively with pain.’

But users saw the irony in that statement from a CBD ambᴀssador who has previously spoke about using CBD oil on his daughter’s tumour. 

One pointed out: ‘CBD business owner here to tell you all about his amazing CBD and also his daughter’s shrunken tumour while carefully not claiming it was the CBD that cured it. 40% off!’

Some CBD products are legal to buy as food supplements from health stores, but according to the NHS website, the ‘quality and content’ of online-sold products is unknown and they ‘may be illegal and potentially dangerous’.

The NHS acknowledges that CBD does have ‘medical benefits,’ but that there is no guarantee that even products sold in health stores will be of ‘good quality’.

Moreover, CBD can affect how other medicines work, so a specialist should always be consulted about using it in conjunction with other treatment.

Doctors would also need to monitor users regularly because it can affect the liver’.
