Kerry Katona gives grovelling apology over ‘insensitive’ April Fools joke and pregnancy prank
KERRY Katona has given a grovelling apology after saying she was pregnant in an April Fools joke that was slammed as “insensitive”.
The pregnancy prank did not go down well with fans when the mum-of-five shared an ultrasound snap.
Kerry already has five children made up of four girls and one boy – Molly, Lilly-Sue, Heidi, Maxwell, and Dylan Jorge.
She was bombarded with hate online after angering fans with the joke on Instagram and has now apologised.
Her spokesman said: “It was an April Fools joke for her fiancé Ryan but she posted it to her public account and not her private one with very close friends by accident.
“Kerry herself cannot have any more children due to medical issues and has openly spoken about this in the past.
