Kerry Katona shares health diagnosis after finding lumps
Kerry Katona has shared her diagnosis after she was left 'worried' over discovering several lumps on her jaw last week, leading to the star undergoing treatment.
Kerry Katona has given an update on a new diagnosis after discovering mysterious lumps on her jaw and undergoing treatment.
Last week, the mum-of-five admitted in her weekly column that she was 'nervous' after the discovery led to her booking an emergency dentist appointment. And now, she has shared that the appointment led to treatment and has left her in 'agony'.
"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," she wrote in her New! Magazine column this week.
Kerry continued: "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. Wish Dental has been amazing at looking after me, so I want to thank them.
"I'm filming 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," she concluded.
Kerry previously admitted that she is a 'hypochondriac', explaining how her mind automatically goes to the worst case scenario. She 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 it's to do with my glands.
"I'm a massive hypochondriac at the best of times, so I'm feeling a bit nervous about it all, to be honest."
Previously, Kerry even shared how her health anxiety mixed with some 'unbearable pain' had her fearing she had cancer.
After doctors found blood in her cervix during a check last year, Kerry said: "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 even considering marrying her-at-the-time partner Ryan Mahoney so that he could be a legal guardian of her daughter DJ, whose dad George Kay died in 2019.
However, thankfully, "It's crazy how much a woman's body goes through and what stress can do to our cycles," she said the following week.

Love Island's Olivia Hawkins dating hunky boxer and Netflix star
After a stint on Love Island All Stars last year, Olivia Hawkins is now in the throes of a new romance Love Island star Olivia Hawkins is has got a new flame, and her beau will be a familiar face to viewers who love binge watching Netflix reality TV. The brunette beauty, 29, who recently appeared on Love Island : All Stars, has been spotted getting close to professional boxer and Too Hot To Handle star Kelechi 'Kelz' Dyke, 31. Sources say sparks have been flying between the pair during filming for the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, where Liv was originally linked to co-star Louis Russell. Things appear to have taken a romantic turn with Kelz, and it looks like it's more than just a showmance. A source told The Sun: "Liv was linked to fellow Celebs Go Dating co-star Louis Russell when production on the series first started. But since then she's been on a series of dates with boxer Kelechi 'Kelz' Dyke, which have been filmed for the show. "Netflix fans will know him from Too Hot To Handle as well, so he is well versed in reality TV. But the chemistry between him and Liv is genuine and they are really into each other. Watch this space." Despite the budding romance, Liv may be jetting off to Fiji soon, as she's reportedly in talks to appear on Love Island Games. The US-based spin-off is filmed for Peacock and then airs later on ITV2 in the UK. It would mark Liv's third stint on the hit dating franchise, after she failed to find lasting love during both her original appearance and All Stars. On All Stars she briefly coupled up with Love Island alumni Marcel Somerville. But the pair were dumped from the villa on Day 10 after being voted the least compatible by viewers. Not long after, they confirmed they'd split, but said they still speak regularly as friends. Producers now feel Liv deserves another shot at love, and more time on screen. A source told The Sun: "They feel like she didn't get enough of a chance to shine on All Stars as she left the villa too early, but they believe she will go down a storm on The Games. "She is currently still filming Celebs Go Dating for E4, but if talks continue to go well, she could be winging her way to Fiji soon afterwards." Liv made headlines earlier this year when she became embroiled in the leaked messages saga during All Stars. While helping with an eviction, she claimed fellow islander Grace Jackson had texted saying she would do anything to win the show. Grace hit back, calling the accusations false and demanding to see proof. Liv later tearfully defended her actions on the SnatchedByWill podcast, saying producers encouraged her to share what she'd seen. She said: "I said this piece of information to producers, and they wanted me to, you know, say what I've seen. "What I will say is, do people really think I would go on national television and lie about something so serious as that?"

Kerry Katona and Katie Price make huge 'baby pact' to show they're not 'too old'
Best pals and mums of five, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, are reportedly hoping to become pregnant together after sharing their desire to have a sixth child Mums of five, Kerry Katona and Katie Price, have made a "pact" to become pregnant together, according to reports. The best pals have both expressed their desire for another child, with Kerry telling her followers: "I know I'm 44, but I think I want another baby". Katie, 46, who was pregnant with Kerry in 2007 with their respective daughters, Princess and Heidi, has also said she would like to become a mum again and now it looks like the women are determined to welcome a sixth child into the world, which they allegedly believe "would make a great reality show". Speaking about their family plans, a source told Closer magazine: "Both Katie and Kerry have said they want another child so they've made a pact to be pregnant together, saying it would make a great reality show. Both want to show they are not getting old and see babies as the ultimate age-defying statement." Kerry, who has been single since November when she split with personal trainer, Ryan Mahony, told her followers she was willing to have another baby on her own if necessary. Taking to Instagram, she said: "I know I'm 44, but I want another baby. Don't have a fella - but done it all before. Why change now?" In response to her post, many of Kerry's fans told her she should now focus on herself and think carefully about making such a huge decision as one replied: "NO you don't" while another added: "You're blessed with the children you have. Plus they're all growing up and you're glowing up." Also uncertain whether the former face of Iceland has really thought about the practicalities of having a another baby, the source said: "Pals think Kerry is in love with the idea of having another baby, not the practicality of actually becoming a mum. They think she should wait for a grandchild. "But Kerry says before anything else she's a mother, it's her greatest achievement by far and she could give a child so much more stability now." Katie, meanwhile, has been very vocal about having another baby and has explored both IVF and egg donation as a result. Speaking to Paul C Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast, the mum-of-five revealed that she bought donor eggs last year before meeting current boyfriend JJ Slater 32. Opening up about her plans, Katie revealed she was optimistic about the future despite being unsuccessful with IVF, sharing: "I had IVF and it failed because basically my eggs are too old. "I gave it a go even though the doctors said you've got a 1 percent chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I'm doing it! I went through all of it and it didn't work. "So I have got donor eggs, I got them last year. You don't see the picture but they go on how I look, like the dark hair, the green eyes, Spanish... because I've got like Italian/Spanish in me." Saying she was happy to have a baby on her own before she met JJ, she also said she'd found a black sperm donor in the US, revealing: "And then because I'm not afraid to have a baby on my own, before I met JJ I was quite happy. I found a sperm donor from America, from black origin."
