My secret pregnancy ended in miscarriage heartbreak, says Kerry Katona who reveals she had a sixth child in 2017
Kerry Katona secretly fell pregnant weeks after she left George with a jobbing actor she calls Mike in 2017.
The singer, who was using contraception at the time, writes in her new book about booking an abortion before changing her mind and deciding to keep the baby.
Sadly however, Kerry miscarried and was forced to return to work the following day.
She flew to India for a gig after being warned she would be sued for £20,000 if she failed to turn up. However Kerry fell dangerously ill.
She recalls in her book Whole Again: “I remember feeling the blood running down the inside of my thighs as I belted out Atomic Kitten hits.
“I was taken to hospital again, in this foreign country, where I was told the foetus was still in me and she still had a very, very faint heartbeat.

“There was nothing the doctors could do. I stayed in hospital for a couple of days until eventually there was no heartbeat anymore.
“The doctor said that the dead foetus could stay in the womb for up to three months before it would fall out naturally.
“I was on the verge of miscarrying, as that child had not survived, but I suppose technically in the end I did have a termination, as she was removed from my body by a kind doctor.”
Kerry adds: “Now remember, at this point I was a mum of five, my babies were – and still are – absolutely everything to me and it went against every single maternal instinct I had, but I knew this child was not meant to be.

“Even now, I can’t bring myself to refer to her as my daughter. It’s not me being heartless, it’s just my truth. A bleak, sad chapter in my life.”
Kerry is mum to Lilly-Sue, 19, and 21-year-old Molly, who she had during her marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden.
She shares daughter Heidi, 15, and 14-year-old Maxwell with her ex husband Mark Croft.
Kerry had her youngest daughter, Dylan Jorge (DJ for short), eight, during her relationship with George Kay. George died from a drug overdose in 2019.
