Kerry Katona, the vivacious former pop star, is opening up about her feelings of nostalgia and a touch of sadness as she reminisces about her Atomic Kitten days. The 45-year-old, who rose to fame with Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton in the late 1990s, left the group just before their breakout hit, "Whole Again." While Jenny Frost took her place and the band continued its journey until 2003, Kerry has since become a beloved TV personality. She notably won "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" and captured hearts in her Iceland commercials.
“I’d go back to Atomic Kitten in a heartbeat if they asked me!” Kerry recently shared, reflecting on her longing for those iconic times.
Despite her success beyond music, Kerry admits to feeling left out as her former bandmates occasionally reunite without her. The news of fellow 1990s band S Club's reunion plans has only heightened her yearning to reconnect with her own musical past. "I was so excited when I saw S Club are working on a reunion! I think we’re so desperate for that kind of nostalgia now," she mused in her magazine column.
While Kerry may miss the camaraderie of her Atomic Kitten days, she's not dwelling in the past. She's been making waves on OnlyFans, where her earnings have reportedly surpassed £1 million. Her success on the platform highlights her ability to reinvent herself and thrive in new arenas. Kerry's confidence shines as she addresses the double standards women face in the industry, referencing Sydney Sweeney's lingerie campaign backlash. "Why can’t we have it all? It’s just jealousy, I think," she remarked, showcasing her unapologetic stance.
Kerry continues to perform regularly, recently touring with Katie Price, and remains a significant figure in the entertainment world. Her relationship with Paolo Margaglione, whom she met on "Celebs Go Dating," adds a sweet chapter to her life. As she balances her various roles, Kerry's story is one of resilience and evolution, proving she's not just a pop sensation of the past but a multifaceted star of today.
