KERRY KATONA DELIGHTS FANS WITH TOUR OF HER BRAND-NEW LAVISH FAMILY HOME AFTER DOWNSIZING

‌‌Kerry Katona showcased her new "down-sized" Cheshire home after she posted a home tour on social media.

Showing off her living room, bedrooms and vast garden, the star, 43, narrated the video and proudly said she was tired but revealed "I'm so blessed." The reality TV star, who first found fame being part of the pop group Atomic Kitten between 1998 and 2001, decided to move into a smaller house as her children were starting to flee the nest. Despite having to rent properties, the Celebrity Big Brother star recently admitted that after 15 years she's now able to get a mortgage after being declared bankrupt.

The mum of five kicked off her house tour showing fans her living room that comes complete with a sprawling kitchen. The spacious room also has an island with a wooden counter-top. Revealing the space that also boasts a large oak table that sits towards the back of the room near her L-shaped grey sofa, she told fans: "I need to get my artwork up yet - this is all I’ve got to show you so far, but it’s absolutely beautiful And look at the size of this garden! It feels so much more homely - the other house was far too big, there just aren’t as many of us in it any more."

Taking fans into another room that still has a stack of cardboard boxes left to unpack, she said: "This will be where the pool table and the office and desk will go. But we’re getting there." Kerry also has a huge garden and a home gym, that had all of her equipment stacked to one side. The star continued: "I’ve always wanted a proper family home. Heidi’s leaving in September and I don't want to be rattling around in a big house."

This house move marks a huge update in her life as she's now been told she is finally eligible for a mortgage after she had to declare herself bankrupt 15 years ago. Explaining the monumental shift in her life, she admitted: "I have just been approved by a high street lender for a mortgage - how amazing is that? To go from being bankrupt 15 years ago and renting for 15 years, to now finally being told I can have a mortgage. I think the wisest decision now is to downsize and put even more money in my savings and get my own house that belongs to me. Im really proud of myself and being very wise."

She continued: "I did all this by myself - all me. I’ve not stopped." She then moved upstairs to the attic, which she said is to be Molly's room for when she visits. Next in the tour, Kerry showed off her bedroom that had a large mustard yellow quilted bed, she then headed into a bathroom across the hallway and told followers: "Look at that for a view - is that not just gorgeous?"

Clearly over the moon with her new home, she said: "I think this is going to be a lovely happy family home. I just need to keep those savings going and finally reach my dream - of buying my own home." Earlier this month, she revealed that she had moved out of her £2million Cheshire mansion as it was "too big." Kerry had moved into the huge pad in 2021 after becoming a millionaire yet again - but admitted it was difficult to maintain.
