Kerry is celeb mum of the year
Ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona was today named Celebrity Mum Of The Year for the second time - six months after becoming a single parent.
She last won in 2002 when she was happily married to Westlife star Brian McFadden.
They split in September and Kerry now brings up daughters Molly, aged three, and two-year-old Lilly Sue on her own.
"I'm over the moon to win again," Kerry said as she picked up her Quality Street Celebrity Mum Of The Year award in London.
"For the first time in my life I'm truly gobsmacked. Molly and Lilly will be so proud of their mummy."
Kerry, 24, admitted being a single mum was tough.
"It's a big difference and it can be a little hard but they do see their daddy," she said.
"The good thing with my job is I can plan it around my girls. I took five
months off work and I'm just getting back into it now.
"I don't think there's any secret or books that can tell you how to be a good mum. You just have to make sure your kids feel loved."
Brian is now seeing Australian singer Delta Goodrem and Kerry insisted she was no longer upset by the relationship.
"It doesn't bother me at all, I wish them all the best," she said.
Kerry has now moved back to her home town of Warrington to be near her family,
who help to look after the girls.
She is now in a new relationship but refused to say much about the man in her life.
"I don't want to talk about him because I will never have a public
relationship again but I'm very, very happy," she said.
Kerry revealed she would love to have more children.
"I'm only 24 and I've got a lot of time, that's one of the good things about having kids young.
"I'd love to have a little brother for Molly and Lilly."
In May, Kerry will star in ITV reality show My Fair Kerry, a Faking It style programme in which she goes to Vienna and tries to pass herself off as a member of the English aristocracy.
