Kerry Katona, 42, freezes eggs to stop 'robbing' fiancé Ryan of becoming a dad

Kerry Katona is hoping to become a mum again and has started freezing her eggs in order to welcome her sixth child.

The former singer, 42, is already mum to five children but now wants to have her first baby with her fiancé Ryan Maloney, 33.

However, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Kerry has explained she would use a surrogate for the pregnancy after experiencing a traumatic birth with her youngest child, Dylan-Jorge, eight.

Kerry says she almost died while giving birth to DJ - and is now hesitant to put her body through another pregnancy.

Taking to Instagram in view of her 808,000 followers, the former Atomic Kitten star shared her delightful news, alongside several images taken at a clinic.

She 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."

Her upload has caused quite a stir, racking up over 7,000 likes in a matter of hours with thousands of fans flocking to the comment section of Kerry's post.

"Wow, this is amazing wish you all the positive vibes in the world," gushed one follower.

A second went on to say: "Excellent. So you opted for embryo freezing then? Good decision. Best of luck with it all."

"Amazing stuff. You're braver than I am. 6 kids is enough for me youngest being 4. I'm so tired," said a third.

Before a fourth gushed: "Wishing you every success in this journey @kerrykatona7."

One image saw Kerry having an ultrasound scan while the pink-haired beauty looked on as medical staff pointed out eggs inside her fallopian tubes.

Speaking about becoming parents, Kerry recently appeared on Loose Women telling the team: "The thing is my other half is eight years younger than me, I can still pull them love!

"He has no children of his own and me and the kids are enough for him, more than enough for him, and he's happy with that.

"But I also don't want to rob him of that option."

Earlier this year, she also revealed that she couldn't see herself having any more children as she didn't believe Ryan was ready.

Sharing her thoughts in her new! Magazine column, Kerry penned: "I previously spoke about freezing my eggs to potentially have a baby with Ryan. But now I can’t see us ever having children together.

"In all honesty, I just can’t imagine Ryan with a newborn and getting up in the middle of the night for feeds."
