Kerry Katona has revealed she’s started the process of embryo freezing, giving fans a glimpse into the process.
The 42-year-old star has five children but is leaving the option open to expand her family with her fiance Ryan Mahoney, 34.
Sharing snaps of herself lying on a hospital bed and undergoing a scan (all the while with a huge smile on her face), Kerry explained: ‘Sooooo last week we started the process of embryo freezing!!
‘Happy to report I’ve got lots of eggs in my basket! Now @ryanmahoney_7 has a date with a cup and we go from there! @pallmallmedical and Dr Maiti have been absolutely amazing! Exciting times🪺🥚.’
Embryo freezing is an assisted reproduction technique that preserves fertilised eggs and can help people achieve pregnancy
While Kerry previously insisted she doesn’t want any more kids, she more recently explained that she doesn’t want Ryan to miss out on the chance to be a father if it’s something he wants in the future.
‘The thing is my other half is eight years younger than me,’ Katona explained on Loose Women, teasing: ‘I can still pull them love!’

‘He has no children of his own and me and the kids are enough for him, more than enough for him, and he’s happy with that.
‘But I also don’t want to rob him of that option.’
She continued: ‘Things might change in the future, I’m 42, I know I’ve not got much time left, there might not be that many eggs left anyway.

‘Boiled, scrambled, fried, you pick I don’t know.
‘So I think getting them frozen, and having that option there – I’d never carry a child again because I nearly died with DJ, DJ did die, she’s alive now – I think that’s my body saying enough is enough, but having the option there, to have a surrogate, you know, it’s there.’
Kerry is mum to five children, after welcoming her first child Molly-Marie McFadden in 2001 with Brian McFadden.
She later welcomed daughter Lilly-Sue with the Westlife star, before having Heidi and Maxwell with ex-husband Mark Croft.
She also has a daughter Dylan-Jorge with late ex-husband George Kay.
