Kerry Katona gets sleeve tattoo of her face - but fans say it looks like Katie Price

Kerry Katona has proudly revealed the results of her very personal latest tattoo.

The reality star and Only Fans favourite treated herself to a huge sleeve design of her own face merged with a lion that covers her right upperarm.

Kerry, 41, sought out the help of celebrity tattoo artist Jay Hutton for the extreme inking she told fans had been 'eight years in the making.'

As she flaunted the finished piece on Instagram, some fans began to fear the face looked more like Kerry's close pal Katie Price.

The pair became close when they appeared on the same series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2003.

After Kerry went live with her tattoo post on social media, many fans of the duo began to comment that the smouldering face bore more than a striking resemblance to ex-glamour model Katie.

"Is that Katie Price?" one bluntly asked.

"Looks like Katie Price, love it," another added.

Katie herself even chimed in and told Kerry: "What are we both like getting sleeves now are lives are just mirrored."

The mum-of-five recently splashed out on a sleeve design herself while holidaying in Thailand earlier this year.

While other followers of Kerry piped up in the comment section to suggest her design looked more like the late Love Island host Caroline Flack.

Despite sparking much debate, Kerry was clearly thrilled with the design as she posted snaps to social media.

"@jayhuttontat2 your honestly the best of the best loving my new tattoo…8 years in the making this sleeve tattoo.

"We’re getting there xxxx.," she added.

The mum also showed off some previous tattoos that artist Jay had created for her, including a 'blessed' inking on her forearm.

Jay shot to fame on Channel 4 series the Tattoo Fixers and boasts his own parlour.

Kerry is no stranger to the tattooist's chair.

She also has eldest daughter's names inked on her wrists, the initials DJ behind her ear and has her children Heidi and Max's names written on her back.

Kerry is mum to daughters Molly, 19, and Lilly-Sue, 18, with Brian McFadden, Heidi, 13, and Max, 12, with Mark Croft, and eight-year-old DJ with the late George Kay.

The mum also inspired her daughter Lily-Sue to have her first tattoo when she turned 18.

"I think it's dead cool. I like that girl," said Kerry in support as the family filmed the special moment for Lily's YouTube channel.

Lily settled on three flowers with the words 'no rain, no flowers' scrawled alongside it.

It comes as Kerry and her pal Katie have both been rumoured to join the 'I'm A Celeb all stars' series, which sees some legendary campmates return to the jungle.

The show will comprise past winners and ­runners-up along with those whose performances were ­memorable for altogether different reasons.

Ant and Dec are to front the special series, exclusively revealed in yesterday’s Mirror.
