Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona celebrate as daughter Molly graduates from Trinity College

Brian McFadden had cause to celebrate yesterday after he and Kerry Katona's daughter Molly graduated from Trinity College.

She wrote: “My @123_mollymc in her cap and gown at graduation so very proud of you baby girl”.

Molly wore a black and white midi dress with a geometric print to her graduation ceremony and paired it with some trendy white leather boots.

Molly was the first child Brian and former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry had together during their relationship. The pair married in 2002 and went on to have another daughter, Lily-Sue, 19, before splitting in 2004.

Over the last few years, Molly has begun to make a name for herself in her own right - amusing fans on her popular TikTok channel where she has over 155k followers and on her Instagram with over 72k followers.

She has appeared to have inherited some of her parents' vocal talents and has impressed her followers with short clips showcasing her powerful singing voice.

Molly also uploads short comedy sketches to her social media which have even impressed Kerry who once shared one of her daughters' videos on her own Instagram page with the caption: “you crack me up,” alongside multiple laughing-face emojis.

When her parents first split, things were acrimonious between the pair but in the 18 years that have passed since their divorce, the former couple are on friendly terms.

Kerry is now happily engaged to fiancé Ryan Mahoney, while Brian has welcomed a new baby girl into the world with his partner Danielle Parkinson last year.
