Kerry Katona suffers nasty injury mid-panto performance after illness 'ruined Christmas'

Kerry Katona has taken to social media to show off the nasty injury she suffered after falling over on stage during a recent pantomime performance.

The mum-of-five is currently playing the ugly sister Botox in Cinderella at the New Theatre Royal in Lincoln, with the show due to wrap up on Sunday.

But just a day before the final performance, Kerry posted a picture on her Instagram Story showing her foot resting on a chair.

The 42-year-old placed an ice pack on her ankle and told her 810k fans: "Just bloody fell and rolled my ankle!! In the middle of a show!!!"

Kerry has been joined in the pantomime by her daughter Lily McFadden who plays Baby Botox.

X-Factor star Jake Quickenden also played the Fairy Godfather between the 6th December to Christmas Eve.

Kerry's not had the best of luck recently, as she shared a video on New Year's Eve saying she's been suffering from a "nasty" virus which has "ruined everything," particularly her panto experience.

The reality star shared a six-minute video on Instagram in which she gave her fans an update on her health.

The mother-of-five said that she was experiencing a swollen neck and problems with her throat. She commented at one point in the video: "I feel like s**t and I wanna cry."

She said: "I am sick to death of moaning and complaining about being poorly."

Kerry added: "It has literally ruined my whole panto experience. It's ruined my Christmas."

The Atmoic Kitten singer - who was joined by daughter DJ in the video - said: "I had Covid. I cracked on doing three day shows".

Kerry said she felt "amazing" on antibiotics - but added that she has felt ill again in the days since Christmas.

"It's really really got me down because I am normally like the person who's full of morale and keeps the energy up, and all I'm doing is moaning and complaining," she added.

Alongside showing her neck, which she said was swollen, Kerry told fans it feels like there's a "hole in [her] throat".

She apologised to those who knew her, including colleagues in panto, "because all [she's] doing is moaning, because it's just ruined everything. This illness has ruined everything."
