Kerry Katona sings Atomic Kitten hit on stage with famous boyband
Kerry Katona gave fans a special treat as she unexpectedly stepped on stage with her boyband chums to perform an acapella version of Atomic Kitten's biggest hit
Kerry Katona revisited her '90s pop star days as she joined forces with boyband Blue to perform an Atomic Kitten classic hit. The former chart-topper was in attendance at the Paul Strank Charitable Trust Summer Gala 2025, held at London's Kensington Garden Hotel, when she seized the opportunity to step out on stage with Duncan James, Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe and Antony Costa who were the headline act.
Attending with her daughter, Heidi, and son, Max, Kerry wore a figure-hugging long white maxi dress for the occasion. Kerry, 44, appeared delighted when she was asked onto the stage by Duncan, and swiftly joined the boys for an impromptu acapella performance of her former band Atomic Kitten's classic hit Whole Again.
The crowd at the charity bash seemed thrilled to see her on stage as they sang along to the popular track with her.
Kerry is currently rumoured to be dating personal trainer Paolo Margaglione, however she remained tight-lipped about the possible romance while enjoying herself at the party.
However she did smile enthusiastically as she told the Mirror she was simply "very happy," ahead of the launch of the next season of Celebs Go Dating, on which she will be taking part as a contestant.
Despite Kerry's well-documented feud with her Atomic Kitten bandmates Natasha Hamilton and Liz McLarnon, she recently told OK! that she wished they had stayed in touch with her.
Kerry hasn't seen her former bandmates in over two decades and was famously replaced in the band by Jenny Frost when she quit in 2001 after falling pregnant with her first child with then-partner and Westlife star Bryan McFadden.
Kerry was a founding member of Atomic Kitten and found fame with the band in 1998, achieving overwhelming success and a number one debut album - Right Now - alongside Natasha and Liz prior to her departure.
Fans had hoped when Whole Again had a resurgence due to it being adopted by England football fans as the anthem of former manager Gareth Southgate that Kerry may have been able to reunite with the band, but sadly it wasn't on the cards.
Kerry admitted to OK!: "I do wish I was closer to the girls because we had amazing experiences together. But sometimes it is what it is.."
Blue meanwhile nearly didn't make it to the stage at all as they admitted their flight from Italy was delayed meaning they arrived just in time for the live show.
Other attendees at the star-studded bash included former EastEnders star Lorraine Stanley who looked a far cry from her on-screen persona Karen Taylor as she took the opportunity to show off her stunning weight loss, The Chase icon Anne Hegarty, and former X Factor star Sam Bailey - who blew the crowd away with her own performance of power ballads.
