Kerry Katona's Christmas is ruined as she tests positive for coronavirus

Kerry Katona 's Christmas has been ruined as she's tested positive for coronavirus.

The former Atomic Kitten star, 40, shared her diagnosis today and revealed she's "never felt so poorly in all my life".

In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "Tested positive!" alongside a crying face emoji.

She added: "Never felt so poorly in all my life!! Those who think this isn’t real, think again!! Absolutely heartbroken! Sending love and light to all those effected [sic]."

The bad news means Kerry will now have to isolate over Christmas and spend the festive season at home without seeing any of her loved ones.

The rules state anyone with symptoms must isolate for 10 days after those symptoms start - meaning Kerry is likely to still be isolating next week over Christmas.

She's a mum-of-five with four of her kids living at home, and her eldest daughter Molly, who is staying in Ireland for Christmas.

Molly, 18, is studying at Dublin University and will spend the holidays with her dad Brian McFadden.

Kerry also has Heidi, 13, Maxwell, 12, and Dylan-Jorge, six.

She lives with her fiance Ryan Mahoney and it was going to be their first Christmas since they got engaged.

The star recently opened up about how hard it will be without her eldest over the holidays.

In her new! magazine column, she wrote: "She's [Molly is] at uni in Dublin.

"So she'll be staying in Ireland and, seeing as she spends every other Christmas with her dad's family out there, I won't be seeing her until next year!

"I know she's finding the prospect of it really hard and so am I. That girl is my best friend and the thought of not being able to hug her until 2021 is hideous.

"We're gonna be doing a lot of video calls to make up for it!"
