Kerry Katona has started playing tennis in an attempt to improve her figure.

The reality TV star has struggled to shed her baby weight since she gave birth to her son Max in April this year. She has now become determined to change her image over the coming months.

"Having had four kids and not the best diet I thought I should take up a sport and tone up a bit," Katona told the Daily Star Sunday. "I'm not a gym person. But when Wimbledon was on this year I found myself shouting at the telly - and realised I was hooked."

She added: "Tennis is great as it's such a family sport. My two older girls love playing. It's so much fun. They have a laugh at mummy running around the court."

Reports have also suggested that Katona is planning to spend £15,000 on cosmetic surgery.
