Kerry Katona reveals she is using a piece of her rib for another nose job as she details more surgery plans
Kerry Katona has revealed she is having a rib removed to make her new nose as she prepares to go under the knife again.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, wrote in her new OK! column: ‘I am waiting for a date from Pall Mall for the reconstructive surgery I need for my nose due to past cocaine abuse in her 20s.
‘They are going to use a piece of bone from my rib to repair it. Hopefully that can be any day now.’
Earlier in the day, the star also told fans on Instagram that she would be having the nose job in the afternoon.
The TV star explained that they “took a piece of bone from her rib,” which would then be used to replace her nasal cartilage “to make it look a little smaller.”

Kerry also revealed that she urgently needed surgery as she had ‘three holes’ in her nose due to her past cocaine abuse.
The former singer filmed herself in the Pall Mall Medical, an expensive clinic in central London.
She looked hopeful and excited ahead of the procedure and took a photo of herself with one of the surgeons.
The TV personality has previously admitted that cocaine was her “only friend” when speaking about her past drug abuse.
Kerry, who started using drugs at the age of 14, has spoken openly in the past about her bipolar disorder and addiction issues.
The star, who checked herself into rehab in 2008 and 2010, revealed she hasn’t touched cocaine in 15 years during an appearance on the MailOnline podcast, Straight To The Comments!
Speaking to presenters Josh Pieters and Archie Manners, Kerry said: ‘I haven’t touched cocaine in 15 years.
When asked if she has given up alcohol and drugs, she replied: ‘No, I like a drink, but Coke was more my poison and besides, I married my drug dealer because I thought I could get it a little cheaper.’

Kerry also revealed that she urgently needed surgery as she had ‘three holes’ in her nose due to her cocaine abuse history.
She added: “I wouldn’t say it was an addiction, it was more of a codependency. This was at a time when I had 40 paps outside my house, my mother was selling stories about me and I was married to a drug dealer.
‘Cocaine became my only friend, it was all I had. Rehab didn’t help me get off coke at all. When I got out, I met my drug dealer.”
Kerry went on to talk about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder: ‘You see, mental health wasn’t that important back then, no one knew what bipolar was, I didn’t know, I thought it was a sport! So when I was told I was bipolar, no one had ever heard of it and then suddenly it became a thing.
‘My medicine dependence started long before I became famous, I was 14 and my mother told me it was sherbet and it was speed. I thought you did that with your mother. That was normal for me.
When asked how she went from drug taking to the successful pop group Atomic Kittens, Kerry said: ‘I have no idea, I had a great set of t*ts with me and was in the right place at the right time. ‘
