Kerry Katona suffers passport drama after sharing plans to quit the UK

Kerry Katona has shared her frustrations after being left unable to renew her passport - which could jeopardise her future plans to quit the UK. The former Atomic Kitten singer has recently shared her plans to leave her home and move to Spain with her family.

She recently said she thinks she and her family could have a "nice life" in Spain, writing in her new! magazine column, "[Moving to Spain] is something Ryan and I are looking into. We are likely to do another 12 months in the UK, and my mum will have a base here so whenever I come back that will be where we stay."

Kerry, who recently moved back to the North, went on: "I went to London for a work meeting last week and it’s a whole day of travelling. You can hop on a plane and be in Marbella in less time. So, that’s our plan. It’s exciting. I want to wake up to some sunshine every single day. It would be a nice life, but I also want to make sure it will be a working life.

"The children need to realise that they may live there, but they still need to get their homework done and work hard. We will start looking at schools soon to get an idea of what we’re getting into. So much of my work is online now, so it does make sense to think about a new start."

However, on Wednesday, the mum-of-five took to Instagram to vent about passport problems. Sharing a snap of herself looking unimpressed, she said she "cannot get a passport appointment" and asked for "help". But she's not alone as the Passport Office continues to report waits of up to 10 weeks for a first or replacement passport.

Last year Kerry, from Warrington, said she was 'regretting moving back up north' after having a second car stolen in a matter of days. She had shared her joy with fans over the summer about moving back to Cheshire, telling fans that she previously lived in Wilmslow but chose to now reside in Alderley Edge as she showed them around her brand new home on Instagram.

But it she suffered a rough couple of weeks after thieves stole Ryan's car from outside her home, just days after her own was taken. Filming herself ispeaking to the camera in tears at the time, she said: "So we have them on CCTV footage. The car got took last night, we've been on the phone to the police all day, we've all got Covid, two cars gone in 11 days...[sic]

"It makes me feel really unsafe that they've been to my home. Kind of really regretting moving back up north if I'm honest. Not good." She then wrote another message to her followers, which read: "I've worked so hard to turn my life around which I have, and I get completely violated.

But in April the 41-year-old was all smiles as she was spotted in new £260,000 Lamborghini after her Range Rover was stolen. She was spotted out in her lime green Urus 4x4 while her her fiancé Ryan Mahoney filled it up at a petrol station in Cheshire.
