Kerry Katon has shared a health update after concerning fans. The former Atomic Kitten singer, who has suffered from 'chronic pain' for a number of years, was last week seen with a mask strapped around her face while medical professionals worked to increase her oxygen levels.
She told her followers that they shouldn't panic and quickly explained that she was actually lying in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Kerry was using the device to increase her oxygen levels in the hope that it will relieve the pain she has been suffering after being told she has scoliosis, which is a curvature of the spine.
Kerry cancelled her No Regrets book tour after being left bedbound while suffering from intense pain in her back. The 43-year-old said she was in severe pain across her hip joints and almost took herself to A&E. "I was diagnosed with scoliosis last week, after having trouble with my back," Kerry said in her latest new! magazine column.

"I went to a chiropractor and had an X-ray, which showed that half of my brain doesn't work like the other half." Sharing an update, she went on to say: "Honestly, I've been in such a bad way, but thankfully, I’m now on a recovery plan which has been much better."
The mum-of-five added: "It's something that I'll have to live with, but at least I now know what it is. I have been doing different tests to see how my brain works and it has been really eye-opening. It's all connected to my nerves and explains why I was in such awful pain."
Kerry has also revealed the secrets of her size 10 figure after starting a new health and fitness regime. Back in March, Kerry revealed she is having an overhaul of her health and fitness after being given a different diagnosis. She shared with her social media followers how she had been diagnosed with Lipoedema, an abnormal build-up of fat in the legs and sometimes arms.
The condition, which is more common in women, can be painful and affect daily life according to the NHS. Having been seen on social media sticking to her workouts and healthy eating, Kerry has now detailed what diet she has been following in order to achieve her impressive weight loss.
Writing in her new! magazine column, Kerry said: "As you all know, I've been doing the Francis Diet for a while now and I'm so happy to say I'm back in a size 10! I can't thank this diet enough, it's really working for me.
"I'm no longer bedridden so have been back on the treadmill doing some light exercise. I can't do anything too strenuous yet, but this diet is amazing. I've been having the meal prep by Woo'd By Food. It's really kept me on track."
