KERRY Katona has revealed that she's the "heaviest she's ever been" without being pregnant in her new tell-all book.

The former Atomic Kitten singer revealed that she was also left "swollen" after having a tummy tuck to fix her weight gain.

Kerry, 42, who released her latest book Whole Again: Love, Life and Me earlier this week, opened up about her weight in one excerpt.

She writes: "I have never been like this, this is the biggest I have ever been naturally without being pregnant

"I had my secret tummy tuck and I’ve never recovered properly. It hasn’t healed and I have a lump there now."

"It is all swollen. I am having that sorted next year," she concludes.

It comes after Kerry compared herself to "a whale" as she opened up about her bikini body earlier this year, vowing never to hide it.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the mother-of-five reacted to paparazzi snaps of herself on holiday in Marbella.

She said: "I was like, ‘Oh my God, is that a whale? No! It was Kerry!’. It’s alright though. It’s all good. I’ve got a big bum. But can you see? It’s like my body’s swollen. It’s like you need to get a pin and go ‘pop’."

When a fan suggested she should embrace her body no matter what, Kerry replied: "I am embracing my body!

"I’ve had surgery. Why lie to them? But I’m a 41-year-old woman. I’m entitled to do what I want to do after having five kids.

"Hopefully everything that I’ve had done will put them off for life! But I'm not going to hide away what I’ve done!

"Yes, I look huge. It’s not healthy, it’s not good. I need to get in the gym when I get home. I’ve definitely got body issues.

"I love my food. I think that’s the problem. I love it so much. So there we go. My body’s just swollen. It is what it is, isn’t it people?"

In an interview with OK! magazine, she went on to insist it's "normal" to put on "a s***load of weight" when having time off.

Kerry said: "I am just embracing it. I know I don’t look the greatest, but it is what it is.

"As I’ve got older, I’ve started to embrace it. I’m not 21 any more and it’s normal for your body to change.

"Naturally, my body is going to change. I’ll do everything in my power to stop it from changing drastically but it’s harder to keep your body at my age. I’m embracing it.
