KERRY Katona has never been one to shy away from the odd nip and tuck - and is refreshingly honest about her procedures.
Now the former Atomic Kitten star, 43, has revealed she will go under the knife once again for a nose job.
With characteristic openness she told readers of her OK! column she needed an eight hour op to repair damage caused by years of cocaine use during her marriage to Mark Croft, from 2007 to 2011.
She wrote: "I'm waiting for a date from Pall Mall for the reconstructive surgery I need for my nose, due to past cocaine abuse.
"They're going to use a piece of bone from my rib to repair it. Hopefully, that will be any day now."

The mum-of-five now, who now rakes in the cash from her OnlyFans account, also revealed doctors told her her nose was "collapsing" during a consultation for an eye lift, which she underwent in January.
Here we look at the star's changing face - from fresh-faced pop singer to the latest £3,000 tweakment.
First cut
Kerry rose to fame as part of girl group Atomic Kitten, in 1998, but she quit two years later after falling pregnant with her first child, Molly, with Westlife star Brian McFadden.
Four week's later the group's remixed single, Whole Again, became a smash hit.
Kerry, who went on to have four more kids, has struggled with drug addiction and alcohol abuse in the past.
She first went under the knife in 2004 for a boob job, and again in 2008 for another breast enhancement and liposuction.
Botox and fillers
In 2010 she also revealed she had tried to turn back time with some facial tweaks.
She wrote: “I got some Botox on my forehead, then I had fillers in my cheeks and stuff in my upper lip to make my lip look thicker.”
The procedures were estimated to have cost around £1,500.
Vampire reaction
Kerry was bitten by the vampire facial bug in 2013, and feared she would die after a shocking reaction to the procedure, popularised by Kim Kardashian.

The treatment, which involves injections of your own blood, was advertised as a way to make skin tighter and more youthful.
But after the £600 injections, Kerry's face blew up and she was left bruised and puffy.
She said the facial left her looking “like the Elephant Man”, telling the Mirror: “I didn’t want to fall asleep because I was scared I would never wake up!”
Package deal row
In 2019 Kerry sparked outrage by endorsing a 'Katona Package' at a London clinic offering “2ml face filler and one area fat dissolving” for £699.
She said she was backing the promotion after receiving “so many positive and kind comments” about her own looks after treatment.
One furious fan wrote she should be "promoting self-worth, not plastic surgery deals,” adding: “How about an exercise and healthy eating ad instead?”
40th birthday treat-ment
When the mum-of-five approached her 40th in 2019, she celebrated with fillers and fat-dissolving injections in her chin to "enhance my natural beauty".
She said: “I’m 40 next year and just had a full M.O.T on me face!!! And I’m loving the results… thank you ladies [sic].”
Kerry added she was gearing up to be trolled over the makeover, which cost an estimated £600, but added it was “no different to wearing heavy make-up if done properly”.
In the same week she showed off her lip fillers, joking she "looked like Mick Jagger".
She added: "Only a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of filler, but I love it.
"I had them done a year and a half ago at the Belle Aesthetic Clinic and when they gave me the opportunity to re-do them, I jumped at the chance."
'Brand new face'
Two years later Kerry joked she'd got a "brand new face" after a procedure called CoolSculpting, which freezes fat cells under the skin and destroys them.
She had some fat removed from her chin and Botox injections.
Once again on the defensive, she told her Instagram followers: "I am a 41-year-old woman to be fair, I’m at the right age to get tweaks and do stuff like that.
"When people say you’re not a good role model – I’m 41!
“You get to a certain age and you want to look... It’s like when you get your car fixed, you want fine-tuning.”
She later added: "I've got a brand new face."
'Facelift'
In 2023, the TV star revealed a tighter jawline after treating herself to a "non-invasive facelift".
She showed off before and after pics with the caption: "So b****y impressed!! Had so many messages from all you guys asking what I’ve had done!!
"If you want to embrace your own beauty... less is more, and non surgical treatments like the transformations facelift use only non invasive, medical doctor only facial machines, with no downtime, no surgery and long lasting results."
She added: "I honestly get so scared when it comes to messing with my face as many can go completely over the top with it, and I’m at an age when I feel it’s ok to have tweaks done here and there, and I am so blown away by the results of this!"
Eye lift
Kerry's most recent surgery was a much more invasive eye lift and brow lift in January, at a cost of over £3,000.
Writing two months before in her OK! column, she said: "I've come to the conclusion I'm going to get an eye lift.
"They're so heavy they're hanging over my eyes. Why not, I'm 43, I'm entitled."
She admitted she was anxious about going under the knife once more, adding: "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."
She was pictured a few days after the op outside the clinic, and seemed unable to open her eyes.
Earlier this month she showed off the results of the work - and her three stone weight loss - on a holiday with fiancé Ryan Mahoney in Spain.
'Collapsing nose'
During the consultation for the eye lift she was told her nose was "collapsing" - so she's now opted to go under the knife again.
She updated fans in a video on her social media, saying: "We're all very aware that I've done drugs in the past, 15 years ago now, and [Pall Mall's Doctor Raghavan] said to me, 'Have you ever had a nose job?' I said 'no' and then he went, 'Your nose is collapsing'."
She said she had turned down the offer of a reconstruction years before because she wanted the damage as "a reminder never to touch [drugs] again".
But she burst into tears at the new advice "because it's like a massive 360 to where I was to where I am now".
"Obviously I don't do drugs any more, I've turned my life round and I'm very very proud of myself," she said.
"We all make mistakes, you know, and I think this is a reward just to me to get it fixed, but I'm scared."
