Kerry Katona 'scared' as she finds lumps in latest health ordeal

has shared how she is suffering from a new health scare as she admits to finding several lumps in her jaw earlier this week, detailing how the discovery has left her 'nervous'.

Writing in her New! Magazine column, the former singer, 44, explained how she was feeling 'run down' and requested an emergency appointment after finding the mystery lumps.

"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," she explained.

Kerry continued to explain, "I’m a massive hypochondriac at the best of times, so I’m feeling a bit nervous about it all, to be honest."

It's not the first time Kerry has opened up about her health anxiety

"The pain became unbearable," she told OK! at the time. "I'm used to feeling sore because of my scoliosis, but it was getting to the point I wasn't sleeping. I would be up all night and I'd also isolate myself one week every month because I couldn't do anything. I couldn't move and I'd be constantly crying."

Kerry continued to explain how doctors found blood in her cervix, admitting: "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.

Admitting she thinks her newest health issues are down to a hectic schedule, Kerry has been full-on filming Celebs Go Dating while balancing motherhood and launching a new venture in Thailand - a wellness package with beach resort The Beach Samui.

I want to give a massive shoutout to my hair stylist Dan Carter and my make-up artist Dayna Mansfield for making me look so glamorous day in, day out."

Detailing her excitement to have Donna Preston join the cast as a late arrival, Kerry continued, "I’m also so excited that Donna Preston has joined the line-up – she’s amazing. I couldn’t believe it – one minute I’m watching her on Celebrity Big Brother and the next she’s filming next to me. I really wanted her to win CBB , but hopefully she finds love on the show and we can go on some double dates."
