Kerry Katona has been seen breaking down in tears as she started a 'traumatic' new job. The former Atomic Kitten star has been forced to re-live her trauma while recording her new audiobook.
She shared how she managed to record six chapters of Whole Again, which was released last year, before she became too choked up to continue. The autobiography is a follow-up to her first tell-all memoir, Still Standing, which was released in 2012 and explores the challenging events Kerry has been through in the past decade.
Taking to Instagram with a video, Kerry showed the toll of remembering her life's events, such as facing bankruptcy and the death of her ex-husband George Kay. "Well, this has been a real, real..." the 42-year-old said before having to paused due to emotion she was feeling.

Taking to her Instagram story before recording, Kerry also admitted: "I'm very very very very nervous!'" And in another post on Instagram, featuring a selfie as she travelled in a car, she said: "En route to record my audiobook 'whole again' praying for strength to get me through this!!!

But got to stare this s*** in the face and be done with it!!!! If my book helps even just one person it's all been worth it!!! Have a blessed day people."
