Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has been seen in public looking totally unrecognisable, having recently undergone an eyelift at the age of 43.

Katona – who left the chart-topping noughties girl band shortly before the release of their breakthrough single, Whole Again – appeared unable to even open her eyes as she left the Pall Mall Medical Centre in her cosmetic decision while leaving the Pall Mall Medical Centre in her hometown of Liverpool earlier this week.

Katona has been a regular UK tabloid fixture in the more than 20 years since she left Atomic Kitten, appearing in a slew of celeb reality shows and making headlines due to her string of marriages – first of them to former Westlife star Brian McFadden.

More recently, Katona has found new success on OnlyFans, following years of financial strife.

The always-candid star opened up in November about her decision to go under the knife, saying:: “Right, so I’ve come to the conclusion I’m going to get an eye lift. I am, watch this. They’re so heavy they’re hanging over my eyes. Why not, I’m 43, I’m entitled.”

But she also admitted in her OK! Magazine column she was battling nerves ahead of the procedure.

“I’m s******g myself. I’m really nervous, but I’m looking forward to having it done. I’m going to Pall Mall Medical and they’ve been really great, so it’s exciting. I think the recovery period is 10 days and I won’t be able to drive during that time.”

The photos of Katona come days after another star stepped out in public looking noticeably different after a recent facelift: Aussie singer Sia, 48, was spotted back in her home state of South Australia last week after she recently went public about having undergone a full cosmetic makeover including liposuction and a facelift.

“I’m a pop star that normally hides my face and doesn’t lie about s**t,” Sia (whose real name is Sia Furler) told the audience at the 2023 Daytime Beauty Awards in November as she presented an award to the doctor who’d operated on her.
