Kerry Katona is a millionaire again after making career change

Kerry Katona has revealed she is a millionaire again after declaring bankruptcy.

The former Atomic Kitten singer says she had earned her money after setting herself up on the adult subscription site Only Fans.

The 40-year-old says she can earn 'tens of thousands a month' by posting pictures of her feet or 'sexy pictures.'

Kerry told the Mirror that her images are no more x-rated than Hollywood sex scenes.

She said: "People are quick to say, ‘she’s desperate’ if I get out a bit of nipple, but I’ve made my first million since bankruptcy and I’m so, so proud.

"If it wasn’t for OnlyFans I wouldn’t have had money to invest in myself and in making more companies.

"What p***** me off is when you get Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut moaning and groaning in sex scenes.

"Or Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts getting their kit off. They get paid millions, they get awards. It’s ‘art’, darling. But I get judged. I’m not showing anything more than going topless on holiday."

Kerry decided to sign up for OnlyFans after needing to borrow £50 from her mum so she could feed her children in the height of the pandemic.

She now has 2,000 subscribers, who pay up to £18 a month.

Kerry added: "I started out as a Page 3 model and owe my career to that, so it’s no different for me or the children, who have grown up seeing me doing shoots.

"I just send sexy messages and pictures, but nothing more than topless.

"I’ve had loads of requests for foot selfies from people with foot fetishes.

"Some are men and women texting me their sex issues and I’m like a therapist for them – their fantasy.

"Others aren’t crude at all. They’ll see me on TV and say, ‘you’re smashing it, kid! What have you been up to today?’

"I’ve got a great rapport with my fellas. Others say, ‘Kerry you’ve really helped me through my addiction’ or ‘I used to fancy you from Atomic Kitten days’."

With the money she has got from Only Fans, Kerry has opened an online clothes store Kerryboutique, as well as a dating app with fiancé Ryan Mahoney, called Marnii.

Come January she hopes to buy the £1.9million Cheshire mansion she is renting.

She goes on: “I won’t let my finances or emotions be controlled by anyone else, as I once was.

“Work dried up before lockdown. I was having to borrow off Mum. Ryan was helping too. I had to sell a £16,000 juke box for £1,900 on eBay and that was pretty heartbreaking.

“I’ve really had to educate myself about myself in recent years and I’m still learning. I’m not perfect. But I am a completely different person to the one I once was.”
