Katona pregnant with fourth child

Kerry Katona has revealed she is expecting her fourth child - and told of fears that she lost the baby.

The ex-Atomic Kitten singer is between five and six weeks pregnant. She was taken to hospital when she started bleeding last week and doctors told her she was expecting.

She said she decided to go public before the story was leaked and because "I can't keep my big mouth shut for very long".

She told OK! magazine: "It's early days which is why I'm so nervous about announcing it.

"I've been bleeding a lot in the past few days and I've been petrified that I might be miscarrying, but I've bled in all of my previous pregnancies so I'm praying everything is okay."

Earlier this year Katona went into rehabilitation for stress after an armed robbery at her home. Soon after, press reports alleged her husband Mark Croft had affairs. He denied the claims.

But Katona said of her pregnancy: "I really feel that this is another sign that things are finally going in the right direction for us."
