Kerry Katona admits fame left her suicidal - but she wants to be 'next Kris Jenner'

Kerry Katona has admitted that fame has left her feeling suicidal in the past.

But she also says she wants to be the 'next Kris Jenner' by having a reality show with her kids.

The former Atomic Kitten star, who appeared on the most recent series of Celebs Go Dating, says she wants to make her five children famous, despite her own struggles with being in the public eye.

Kerry opened up about feeling suicidal in the past as she reacted to the news of Love Island star Mike Thalassitis' tragic death at the age of 26.

Kerry, 38, told OK! magazine: "There have been times in my life where ending it all seemed like the easier option, but there’s always another way.

"It’s so hard when young people who have just got into this industry can’t handle social media and people’s opinions."

But despite her own struggles, Kerry wants to make her kids famous.

She said: "I’d love my own reality show with the kids. I want to be the next Kris Jenner!"

Fitness fanatic Kerry also chatted about learning to love her body.

She said: "You’ve got to learn to love yourself and accept your flaws. I’m covered in stretch marks , but that’s my kid’s signatures! I’m proud of them and I’d never change them."

Kerry's time on Celebs Go Dating ended a little differently to her co-stars.

After spending four weeks at the agency going on dates with 'normal' people, she was supposed to choose one lucky fella to whisk away to Tenerife with her.

However, Kerry came to the realisation that she was fine being single after none of the men swept her off her feet.

As the rest of the cast, including Pete Wicks, Megan McKenna and Sam Thompson, took dates on the holiday, Kerry went alone after realising she loves single life.
