Kerry Katona has said that she would love her 19-year-old daughter Lily to have a baby because of her anxiety that she will die young.
The mum-of-five says she constantly worries about her own health and fears she will miss out on her kids’ life milestones by dying prematurely.
The former face of Iceland, 41, said she feels she can’t be ill because she’s got to be there for her children Molly Marie McFadden, Lilly-Sue McFadden, Heidi Elizabeth Croft, Maxwell Mark Croft and Dylan-Jorge.
"It’s nice to know that I’m not alone,” she said. “I think about it all the time – I’m so worried about not being here for their future," Kerry said in her column for OK! Magazine.

“If Lilly told me she was pregnant, I’d want her to have it because I want to experience as much as possible.
“I’m constantly worried about my health. I instantly jump to the worst case scenario. It’s exhausting.”
It comes after Lilly has just returned from a girly holiday in Magaluf.
Despite constant FaceTime calls from mum Kerry, Katona said she worried about her the entire time she was away and is glad Lily is home safe and sound.
Kerry is currently facing a health scare after revealing that her legs have swollen up.

They’ve been swelling since her first boob reduction a couple of years ago, but Kerry says it’s got to the point she is in a lot of pain.
She says her legs feel really heavy every time she walks up the stairs and that being in the sun, on a holiday of their own in Marbella, has made them swell even more.
Kerry says the swelling has made her feel self-conscious and that she doesn’t get her legs out because of it and is really worried.
She says it's made her change her wardrobe and now she only wears maxi dresses if she has to get her legs out.
It comes as Katona slams Kim Kardashian for recent “tone deaf” comments.

Kim posted a quote that read “the happiest people don’t have the best of everything” despite recently showing off a $150 million jet.
“Is she taking the p**s?! It’s very tone deaf and out of touch,” said Kerry.
She says Kim needs to get a grip and that she certainly does have the best of everything.
Kerry says that one of Kim’s storage units for her clothes is bigger than Katona’s family home.
“Come on Kim, lay off the inspirational quotes,” she concluded.
