Kerry Katona has revealed that she and her fiancé have started the process to freeze their embryos.
The 42-year-old took to Instagram and excitedly told her followers she has 'lots of eggs in her basket' as she and partner Ryan Mahoney embark on the next stage of their fertility journey. The mum-of-five previously said she hasn't ruled out having more children in the future as husband-to-be Ryan, 33, might want a child of his own one day.
Posting a series of photos to Instagram, Kerry said: "Sooooo last week we started the process of embryo freezing!! Happy to report I’ve got lots of eggs in my basket!

"Now @ryanmahoney_7 has a date with a cup and we go from there! @pallmallmedical and Dr Maiti have been absolutely amazing! Exciting times".
Friends and fans were quick to congratulate the couple in the comments. Instagram user @hodson1066 said: "Wishing you guys all the luck in the world," with a red heart emoji, while @laurabestley5 added: "Good luck with everything," alongside a fingers crossed emoji.
@gemna.hoare said: "So happy for you," with a heart-eye emoji as @vanessa21289 commented: "Good luck @kerrykatona7 you're an amazing mum xx".
Last year, the Atomic Kitten star told The Sun that there is 'no rush' about expanding her brood but she wants the option to still be on the table - and that she's doing so for Ryan. Her remarks came after the television star revealed that she had been in contact with a surrogacy agency and had discussed the next steps in the process.
"It would be selfish of me to have another child," Kerry explained during her interview with The Sun. "But I would do it for Ryan. So I'm freezing my eggs and we will see what happens," she added.
Kerry is proud mum of five - Molly, 19, and Lilly-Sue, 18 - who she has with her ex-husband Brian McFadden - Heidi, 14, and Maxwell, 13, with former spouse Mark Croft, and Dylan-Jorge, seven, with her late husband George Kay, who tragically passed away in July 2019.
However, she hasn't ruled out welcoming more children in the future with her husband-to-be and is very understanding that he might one day want to have a child of his own.
