Kerry Katona was heavily involved this week when a very eager fan simply couldn’t wait to ask for a selfie.
The former pop star, 44, is no stranger to being stopped in public by her admirers, and when she’s cruising around in a vibrant green Lamborghini, she’s probably even more likely to attract attention.
So when she was spotted by a man while traveling through a village in Cheshire, he jumped at the chance to take a photo – literally.
Approaching Kerry in his flashy £200,000 motor, the fan is seen in a video running towards him, phone in his hand.
Opening the camera, he made Kerry slow down and stop so he could take the selfie as the screams started in the background.
The officers wasted no time telling him to ‘get off the road’, with Kerry heard saying: ‘Quick!’ to the guy before zooming out.
The I’m A Celebrity icon throws his hand out the window to wave to him – and other now-collected fans – as he walks back onto the pavement with a beaming smile.
‘What are you playing at?’ a police officer asks him, impressed.
“I was trying to get a video for my miss,” he replies.
‘By stepping into the middle of the road and obstructing traffic?’ the police officer reprimands, educating him about the dangers.
Something tells us the fan (and his lady) wasn’t too excited, however, as his excited expression said it all.
After the video was shared on Instagram by @supercars.of.alderley.edge.yt many defended the gentleman, insisting he “didn’t stop a bit of traffic”.
Another Kerry page tagged and joked about her ‘causing a nuisance’, with the reality TV star liking the post.
Kerry’s latest departure on her expensive set of wheels comes after she opened up about her earnings early in her career – and they’re far from what you’d expect.
Far from being able to afford a Lamborghini in the early days of Atomic Kitten, the hitmaker again confessed to Paul C. Brunson’s podcast We Need to Talk that she was earning £250 a week.
The Warrington-born singer was part of the original lineup with Liz McClarnon and Heidi Range, with the latter replaced by Natasha Hamilton in 1999.
Reflecting on her time with the trio, Kerry was scrutinized for the so-called “mismanagement” the group suffered, responding: “Oh, we were only £250 a week.”
“I left Atomic Kitten with 36,000 in my bank account and bought my mom a house and moved to Ireland. It was ridiculous; you get everything for free,” he revealed.
Now, in a very different position financially, Kerry is a millionaire again thanks to the explicit content he shares with paying subscribers only on the adult site.
Thousands are shelling out £19.99 a month for her sexy snaps, which transformed Kerry’s earnings after she was declared bankrupt in 2008 and 2013.
The money not only helped her buy an ‘amazing’ new home, but of course, also her Lamborghini, which she debuted in July 2022.
Reflecting on being at her ‘lowest’, she showed off the engine to fans in an Insta video, adding: ‘How lucky am I to have two cars like this? I worked really, really hard and I spoke twice, but I grafted my a** off.
‘I worked hard for this. I’m not bragging; listen to what I’m saying.’
“We didn’t have Christmas presents, or furniture, but the shelter left a bag of hand-me-downs, and I was eternally grateful,” Kerry said of her upbringing.
‘Now look what we got.’
She vowed to continue to ‘keep fighting for another day,’ wanting to ‘encourage other people out there that if [she] can do it, anyone can do it.’
“Believe in yourself and surround yourself with good people.”
