Kerry Katona has been "in agony" after undergoing emergency dental surgery.
The former Atomic Kitten star has revealed she's been suffering over the last week after some "lumps" in her jaw were found to be an infection.
She wrote in her new! magazine column: "I've been in a lot of pain this week - it's been so tough.
"The lumps in my jaw I wrote about last week turned out to be an infection, so I had to get three root canal procedures at once.
"I've been in agony ever since and just wanted to stay in bed - but with work so hectic right now, I can't do that."
She thanked Wish Dental for doing an "amazing" job taking care of her, while revealing the painful aftermath of the procedures.

She added: "I'm filming [UK reality show] 'Celebs Go Dating' and having to act cheery when I'm in agony.
"I just want to get back to being the Kerry everyone wants. Fingers crossed for some recovery."
Meanwhile Kerry, 44, recently said she wants to have another baby because she feels "lonely".
Kerry - who has daughters Molly Marie, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22, with first husband, former Westlife band member Brian McFadden, Heidi, 18, and Max, 16, with second husband Mark Croft, and daughter Dylan-Jorge, 10, with the late George Kay - admitted: "I am feeling really broody - I want to have another baby. I'm just lonely at the moment.
"I'm single and all of my kids are growing up - DJ starts high school this year and she'll be the last one to fly the nest.
"When I'm at home, my son Max is always in his room, and my girls are all growing up."

Kerry has been looking into her options to have a baby if she decides to go for it without a man in her life.
The star - who split from her fiancé, fitness trainer Ryan Mahoney, 36, earlier this year - said: "Sperm donor? Why not! Or maybe I'd just find a younger man with strong swimmers."

Elton John says ‘we will not back down' in awards speech addressing AI concerns
The Government has repeatedly rejected changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, proposed by the House of Lords, aimed at strengthening protections for the creative sector. Peers have attempted to amend the Bill by adding a commitment to introduce transparency requirements, aiming to ensure copyright holders are able to see when their work has been used and by who. A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn) Veteran rock singer Sir Elton, 78, who picked up the Creators' Champion Award at Billboard's Global Power Players Event on Wednesday, is among hundreds of creatives who have raised concerns over AI companies using copyrighted work without permission. In an Instagram post he thanked the US magazine for the award and said: 'Supporting the next generation of British artists is one of the major driving forces in my life. 'As everyone in that room was aware, the Data Bill is currently looming over our industries and the future livelihood of all artists. It is an existential issue. 'Earlier this evening, the Government was defeated for an unprecedented fifth time by the House of Lords who have backed the crucial amendment to the Bill. 'I am now calling on the Government to do the right thing and get transparency added to the Bill. 'Administration of copyright must be transparent. And it must have an artist's full permission. These two principles are the bedrock of our industry. They must be included in the data Bill as a backstop. 'Let's be clear – we want to work with the Government. We are not anti AI. We are not anti big tech. We are not against Labour. We want a solution that brings all parties together in a way that's transparent, fair and allows artists to maintain control of their work. 'We will not let the Government forget their promise to support our creative industries. We will not back down and we will not quietly go away. This is just the beginning. 'Thank you, Billboard. And thank you Baroness Kidron and The House of Lords for standing up for our world-beating artists, journalists, playwrights, designers and authors.' The prolonged impasse and the conduct of proceedings at Westminster now threatens the future of the whole Bill and its measures, including a crackdown on deepfake porn abuse.

EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley ‘feels like a queen' as she reveals she's lost HALF her body weight
She let slip her weight loss secret on TikTok new look EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley 'feels like a queen' as she reveals she's lost HALF her body weight EASTENDERS actress Lorraine Stanley has gushed she "feels like a queen" after losing half her body weight. The BBC One screen star recently looked slimmer than ever - and has hit out suggestions she used fat loss jobs to achieve her svelte figure. Advertisement 6 Lorraine Stanley has revealed she 'feels like a queen' after revamping her lifestyle and undergoing a makeover Credit: Instagram / @ 6 The ex EastEnders actress has lost five stone Credit: Instagram / @lorraine_stanley_ 6 She looks completely different from her soap star days Credit: BBC Lorraine, 48, is best known for her role as Karen Taylor in the hit BBC soap. She made her EastEnders debut in 2017 before departing the long-running serial drama in 2024. Since then, the actress has undergone a huge transformation losing more than five stone - and now looks almost unrecognisable from her alter-ego. Now she has revealed the results of an image transformation after having her make-up done, saying she "feels like a queen." Advertisement After the pep up by The Brat Studio, which saw her image transformed with glowy foundation, styled brows and pink lip gloss, she wrote on Instagram: "Thank you so much!! "I felt like a Queen being made up by you. "I always leave you feeling fabulous. See you again soon!! Love ya!" NEW LOOK Recently she sported a slimming flower print crop top and trousers combo as she partied the night away at a special bingo event. Advertisement Underneath the tied top, she donned a skin-tight white vest which only emphasised her tiny waist. EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley stars in very racy new film featuring full-frontal nudity For shoes, Lorraine opted for complimentary open-toe leather platform strapped heels for the occasion. Alongside flaunting her physique, the star also opened up on a huge new milestone in her life. She captioned the snap: "5 months sober & still had a good night dancing! #Sobriety." Advertisement The TV star also told how her changing figure was not down to popular weight loss jabs like Ozempic or Mounjaro. Instead, Lorraine opted for the more traditional gastric sleeve operation. One inquisitive fan on TikTok asked for Lorraine's secret, to which she simply answered back in the comments: "Gastric sleeve." A gastric sleeve is a weight loss procedure that removes a significant portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch. Advertisement ENDER THE ROAD The actress was written out of Eastenders in 2023 after seven years on the show in a huge shock to fans. Her character's axing was as part of a shock cast shake-up and her final scenes were aired in December of that year. She went onto reprise her fan-favourite role a number of times in 2024 before her last episode hit BBC screens in June. 6 She captured her makeover on Instagram Credit: Instagram / @ Advertisement 6 She has been wowing fans online with her new look Credit: Instagram

Love Island stars unfollow each other as split turns bitter – after he's spotted with stunning influencer
There is no going back for these exes FINAL SWIPE Love Island stars unfollow each other as split turns bitter – after he's spotted with stunning influencer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island stars Whitney Adabyo has put the final nail in the coffin after her split with Lochan Nowacki - she has unfollowed him online. Whitney, 27, has cut off social media contact with Lochan, also 27, after their two-year relationship came to an end last month. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Whitney Adabyo has unfollowed Lochan Nowacki on social media Credit: Getty 5 She recently split with her Love Island co-stars after two years Credit: Getty Lochan has since been caught cosying up to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown, which has sparked rumours he has already moved on. And that appears to have been the last straw for Whitney. Whitney has now unfollowed Lochan on Instagram, while he has also reciprocated the snub. All photographic trace of their relationship has also been removed from their grids, proving they are well and truly over. Love Island alumni Whitney and Lochan announced their break-up in April. The confirmation came weeks after fans began speculating that the reality stars had broken up. Admitting the rumours were true, Lochan said: "Hey guys, unfortunately Whitney and I's relationship has come to an end. "Thank you for all the love and support that you've show us through our journey, we're forever grateful." Whitney shared the identical message, only swapping out her name for Lochan's. The couple had met on the 2023 series of Love Island after Whitney entered the villa as a bombshell. Whitney coupled up with Lochan and they made it to the final. Although they were the bookies' favourite to win, they finished in second place. Prior to their split announcement, Whitney had dropped a huge clue that she was no longer in a relationship with Lochan. In a rather shady TikTok video, she appeared to hint at cheating. Whitney was seen miming along to the Mariah the Scientist song All For Me and the lyrics, "What does she have on me?". As she continued looking confused, the words, "She doesn't wear wigs' popped up onscreen. Whitney captioned the post, "Oh yikes", which further added to concern from her fans. Weeks later, Lochan was caught on camera looking close to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown. The pair had taken part in a celebrity tennis tournament and seemed to be getting on VERY well. In the short video, they appeared to have great chemistry and at one point Nguyen put her head on the former Islander's shoulder. Whitney, meanwhile, said she was "bamboozled" by her relationship break-up. Speaking on her podcast, Whitney recalled how Lochan said: "I've seen how much you've changed, and you're becoming like the woman that we always spoke about you becoming. "And I'm just not willing to do that." She added: "I was bamboozled. This is the person that you told me you wanted." 5 Whitney and Lochan met on Love Island in 2023 Credit: Rex 5 They were in a relationship for two years after the show Credit: Instagram/@whitbrownsx
