Kerry Katona revealed she is feeling ‘nervous’ as she shared an alarming health update this week. 

The former singer, 44, explained how she was feeling ‘run down’ and requested an emergency appointment after discovering several lumps in her jaw. 

Writing in her new! Magazine column, Kerry said: ‘I’m still feeling really run down after being ill last week.

‘I had to get an emergency dentist appointment because I had so much pain on the left side of my face. I’ve got lumps on my jaw which they are going to test to see what is wrong, but the dentist thinks its to do with my glands.

She continued: ‘I’m a mᴀssive hypochondriac at the best of times, so I’m feeling a bit nervous about it all, to be honest.’

It’s not the first time Kerry has opened up about her health anxiety after fearing she had cancer last year. 

She told OK! at the time: ‘The pain became unbearable. I’m used to feeling sore because of my scoliosis, but it was getting to the point I wasn’t sleeping.

‘I would be up all night, and I’d also isolate myself one week every month because I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t move, and I’d be constantly crying. 

Kerry continued to explain how doctors found blood in her cervix, admitting: ‘When I got that news, in my head I thought “I’ve got cancer, I’m going to die”.’ 

The news left Kerry ‘terrified’, and she even considered marrying her then partner Ryan Mahoney – who she has now split from – so that he could be a legal guardian of her daughter DJ, whose father, George Kay, died in 2019. 

However, thankfully, Kerry got the all-clear, and the unbearable pain was put down to stress. 

The TV personality has been busy filming Celebs Go Dating while balancing motherhood and launching a new venture in Thailand – a wellness package with beach resort The Beach Samui. 

Kerry admitted her ‘life has been so full-on with filming’ as she detailed how her time on Celebs Go Dating, which will air later this summer, has been going so far in her column.

She also expressed her excitement about Donna Preston, 38, joining the cast as a late arrival and hopes the Celebrity Big Brother star will find love on the show so they can go on double dates together. 

Also appearing on Celebs Go Dating are Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins, Made In Chelsea’s Sam Prince, Too H๏τ To Handle’s Louis Russell, The Chase’s Mark Labbett, and S Club 7’s Jon Lee.

Donna completed the line-up following Christine McGuinness’s exit, who, after a few days, realised she wasn’t ready to date in the public eye. 

Previously speaking about joining the show, Donna gushed to The Sun: ‘I’m buzzing to be joining the show and to finally crack the code on what men really want, besides snacks and not being asked what they’re thinking.

‘I’m intrigued to meet new people, but let’s be honest, if a date’s boring, I won’t waste anyone’s time. 

‘Life’s too short to sit through tales of someone’s coin collection. I’ll be gone before the starter arrives.’ 

The Apocalypse Wow host was previously tipped to take part in the E4 dating show before joining Celebrity Big Brother last month.

She is set to appear alongside The Chase’s Mark Labbett, S Club 7’s Jon Lee, Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins, Made In Chelsea’s Sam Prince, Too H๏τ To Handle’s Louis Russell, and Celebrity Big Brother’s Donna Preston (L-R Kerry, Louis, Christine McGuinness, Jon, and Olivia)
