Kerry Katona has opened up about how she's going to have nose surgery, as it's collapsing due to her past drug use.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, shared a live video with her 826,000 Instagram followers on Friday, 24 Novenber, as she updated them about how she'd visited Pall Mall cosmetics to inquire about getting an eye lift.
But during her appointment, the doctor questioned whether she had ever had a nose job, before explaining that internal damage from her past drug use is now causing her nose to collapse.
Kerry went on to explain that "we all make mistakes" as she detailed the scary reality that her addiction could have killed her as she said: "I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead."
Kerry revealed that she's due to undergo surgery in January as she added that she doesn't do drugs anymore – and is now "trying to put my body back together" as she described it as a "jigsaw puzzle."
Speaking directly to her fans, Kerry said: "[The doctor] went, "your nose is collapsing." So I have damaged my nose from doing drugs.
"I was offered to get it fixed years ago, and I said no, because for me it was a reminder never to touch it [drugs] again.
"So he said, 'do you want us to fix it for you?' And I started crying because it's a massive 360 of where I was to where I am now. And I think wow wow wow, Ok I'll get it fixed."
She continued: "Obviously I don't do drugs anymore, I've turned my life around and I'm very proud of myself. We all make mistakes and I think this is a reward for me but I'm scared!"
Kerry confessed her past troubles with addiction was a sensitive subject for her as she teared up while explaining how "proud" she is of herself now.
Her cocaine addiction could have ended her life on more than one occasion after she overdosed twice – and she previously admitted that she never thought she'd be around for her 42nd birthday.
She said: "We all make mistakes. It could have turned out bad, I overdosed twice. I'm blessed to be alive and to get this amazing second chance. I'm doing well for myself, I'm proud of myself."
Mum-of-five Kerry continued, saying: "Because the older you get your face does change …I shouldn’t be here, I should be dead if it wasn’t for my kids I would have been."
Kerry has battled through a multitude of issues in her life from substance abuse, and bankruptcy to experiences of domestic violence.
The star nearly met her demise from taking cocaine. Speaking to new! Magazine about her past, the reality star said: "The amount of coke I was once doing, I literally died.
"I remember coming back [from the brink of death] with these beautiful figures around me and I felt so much love – that happened to me twice.
"I’d stopped breathing. So I know I have angels looking out for me. You can knock me down but you can’t keep me down."
