Kerry Katona makes Iceland dig after being axed from its adverts

Kerry Katona has made a cheeky dig at Iceland some years after being dropped as the face of its adverts.

The former Atomic Kitten singer fronted the supermarket giant's "that's why mums go to Iceland" marketing campaign for five years before being axed in 2009. At the time, Iceland said it was "impossible" for Kerry to continue as the face of the brand amid drug allegations.

Iceland later hired celebs such as Stacey Solomon, Coleen Nolan and even Michael Buble for its adverts.

During a trip to Waitrose on Monday, Kerry bumped into Loose Women panelist Denise Welch. The two snapped a selfie together, with Kerry posting it on Instagram.

Captioning the photo, which showed the pair beaming into the camera, she said: "Love a good catch up in the dog aisle @waitrose with our @denise_welch".

Fans were loving the snap, with many rushing to comment. Victoria Jane said: "I love Denise, say hi from me xxx", while Lea Walker said: "You both look gorgeous".

Influencer No Hun said: "I’m glad u can afford to shop at Waitrose lmao" [sic], to which Kerry replied: "Who said I bought anything!! Only in there cause I’m banned from Iceland [laughing emojis]".

Kerry's followers clearly found the comment hilarious. Lea Mordue said: "Howling", while Lynne Morris said: "That was the best comeback, you go girl", and Sarah Louise said: "That's too funny".
