Kerry Katona reveals two of her children won’t be with her for Christmas dinner – saying ‘it does get me down’
KERRY Katona revealed she’s “feeling down” as two of her children won’t be having Christmas dinner with her.
The mum-of-five’s eldest kids, Molly, 22, and Lilly, 20, will be spending this December 25 with their dad Brian McFadden.
Writing in her latest OK! column, Kerry, 43, said: “Christmas this year is a little bit different because Molly and Lilly won’t be with me for dinner. When we’re not all together, it does get me down a little bit, but I am still looking forward to it.
“Ryan and I have got DJ, Max and Heidi with us so it’ll be fun just the five of us. I want everyone to get dressed up. Lilly is waking up with us in the morning and then going to her dad’s for dinner, before coming back to me for the evening. Her boyfriend is going to come too.
“Christmas Day is all about the kids and seeing their faces when they open their presents. Normally, the older girls help me with the cooking, but DJ can peel the potatoes and Max is a good help too.”
Family-focused Kerry has matured a lot since her time with Brian back in the early noughties.
Though the pair had an acrimonious split back then, Kerry says she now has no ill feelings towards her first husband and “regrets” not having had a closer relationship after their separation.
Kerry’s next two children Heidi, 16, and Max, 15, are from her marriage to Mark Croft.
Her youngest, daughter Dylan-Jorge or DJ as she is affectionately known by her family, was born on April 4, 2014 during her relationship with late husband George Kay.
Earlier this year Kerry’s fiance Ryan Mahoney adopted DJ as his own daughter.
