Kerry Katona says her boobs saved her after she struggled to pay rent
Kerry Katona was so thin before getting her fortune back through OnlyFans that she sold the last remaining memento from her wedding to Brian McFadden.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, was unable to pay her rent during the 2020 lockdown, so she sold an old-fashioned jukebox worth £15,000 for just £1,900 after her ex-boyband star husband Brian McFadden, 43, sold her had prevented their time together.
Kerry now lives in the posh Cheshire suburb of Prestbury, alongside Premiership footballers who have made something of themselves again.
While she may have forfeited her fortune from her days as a pop star and reality TV regular, the one-off I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! campmate has once again made hundreds of thousands of pounds after posing topless and in her underwear, sharing it to subscribers on OnlyFans and saying, ‘I thought, you know what, let’s get my ass out. I used to do it, so why not do it again?’
She explained The sun: ‘I was a slut! I had to sell my huge jukebox, a wedding present from Brian – it was all I took, I only took the kids and that jukebox, which cost about 16,000.

‘I had to sell it for £1,900 to pay the rent, and I thought, you know what, let’s get my ass out. I used to do it, so why not do it again? And it was the best thing I’ve ever done.
“I came to the conclusion that God had given me two great assets in my breasts and I had better use them.”
She added: “Now I’ve made hundreds of thousands of pounds on OnlyFans.”
Kerry insists her fiancé Ryan Mahoney has no problem with her sharing revealing photos of herself online.
The former Celebrity Big Brother flatmate shared how Ryan actually helped her get the shots for her first shoot, with her eldest daughter Molly, 21, also helping out.
It comes after Kerry Phillip accused Schofield of “belittling” her in an infamous 2008 interview as she stepped into This Morning’s “toxic” culture.
The former pop star and TV personality, 42, broke her silence last week by talking to Dan Wootton on GB News.
In the interview on This Morning 15 years ago, Schofield, 61, questioned her slurred speech live on air and told her she didn’t seem ‘good’.
Kerry accused him of “belittling” her and being “condescending” with his comments, explaining that her bipolar medication affected the way she spoke at the time.
She also claimed she was suicidal after the TV appearance and criticized ITV for allegedly not contacting her after the car crash interview.

Kerry told Wootton, “People don’t understand what that interview did to me emotionally.
“Even now when I go back to ITV – which isn’t often – there’s a sense of snobbery and that I’m not good enough,” she added. “I feel like I need to impress them, I need to watch my speech, I can’t blemish.”
Kerry said the interview left her at a ‘rock bottom’, revealing, ‘It was just awful. I was suicidal. I wanted to die, I wanted to kill myself. It was everywhere.’
Kerry, who has been sober for 14 years, claimed after the interview that no one wanted to work with her.
She burst into tears as she explained how she still has to defend herself during the interview more than a decade later.
She said, crying, “Even now, when I look at that video, I feel so embarrassed and so hard done by even now. For ten years I had to justify myself.’
‘I have no reason to lie [about the medication]even today I have to justify myself for that interview,” she added.
During the infamous live interview in 2008, Schofield questioned Kerry about her slurred speech and asked her if she was “OK,” despite her insistence it was due to her medication.

He asked her, “You don’t seem right to sit here now, you speak a little slurred, how do you feel now?”
Kerry then insisted she was absolutely fine and had never been healthier or happier, as she explained it was due to her medication.
In her interview on GB News, Kerry further claimed that she has met the younger This Morning co-worker that Phillip confessed to having an affair with.
She shared how she had met him during her time with Loose Women, adding, “I’ve met the young runner several times, pretty boy.”

MailOnline contacted ITV for comment.
Last Friday, Schofield left ITV and was dropped by his talent agency YMU after admitting to the Daily Mail that he had an affair with a younger male This Morning colleague.
He confessed to having an “ill-advised but not illegal” relationship with a man during his marriage to Stephanie Lowe. He had previously denied the affair when asked by his agent.
Phillip said he was “so sorry” for being unfaithful. Stephanie has two daughters, Ruby, 27, and Molly, 29, with Schofield.
