KERRY Katona has landed her first presenting job in 20 years as she reveals her “exciting” new gig with the BBC.
The former Atomic Kitten singer will join comedian Alison Spittle as the new co-host of BBC Sounds podcast Wheel Of Misfortune.
Together Kerry, 42, and Alison, 33, will host guests to discuss some of their “bleakest” but most hilarious moments each week.
The star has announced her “excitement” to be joining the podcast, which launches on BBC Radio 5 Live and online.
Kerry said: “I’m so excited to host my first podcast and I’ve been having the best time making Wheel Of Misfortune with Alison, who cracks me up constantly.
“I’ve already learnt so much from all the stories we’ve heard, listening to some of the voice notes make me look normal!”

Kerry and Alison are set to be joined by social media influencer and content creator Anna Saccone, as well as TV star Chloe Veitch.
Other guests include beauty queen Danielle Lloyd and Married At Fist Sight’s Thomas Hartley – with more to be announced.

It comes after Kerry revealed she had jetted to Turkey to get new teeth ahead of her wedding to Ryan Mahoney.
The former Atomic Kitten star’s sister was also getting a new smile, as they were joined by their partners and Kerry’s daughter Lilly.
In a rambling Instagram video this evening, the singer, whose face was partially frozen, told her fans about the cosmetic procedure.
She said: “I can’t talk very well because I’ve been sedated.
“I haven’t told anyone I’m actually in Turkey at the minute with my sister and my brother in law and my Lily and Ryan, and my sister’s come to get a new smile.
“I wanted to give her a big shout-out because she’s been so, so nervous and they’ve been so amazing, we’ve been in tears.”
