Kerry Katona breaks down as daughter Heidi makes it through on The Voice Kids

Kerry Katona appeared on The Voice Kids UK on Saturday night, as her daughter Heidi Katona took her chance at following in her mother's career footsteps.

The daughter of Kerry and her ex Mark Croft, 12 at the time of filming, performed for coaches Will.i.am, Pixie Lott, Danny Jones and Paloma Faith.

Heidi took her moment, in scenes filmed before the coronavirus pandemic led to a UK lockdown, no doubt getting some advice from her mother.

Kerry was famously in the band Atomic Kitten, and now it could be Heidi's turn to take on the music industry judging by her sweet audition.

She performed Jasmine Thompson's version of Macy Gray’s hit I Try, after saying she would "make sure that she would try her best".

Kerry tearfully watched from backstage, and was visibly overwhelmed with pride at her young daughter's big moment.

She was joined by Heidi's siblings Molly, Max and Dylan-Jorge, as well as her partner Ryan Mahoney.

Heidi appeared emotional herself, as she prepared to give it her all on the big stage.
