Kerry Katona might be back on our TV screens very soon.
Rumour has it, the former Atomic Kitten singer has signed up to take part in extreme new reality show, The Big Celebrity Detox.
The series would see Kerry, 42, and fellow contestants try out bizarre health treatments, such as genital steaming.
Set to air on E4 in early 2023, The Big Celebrity Detox will supposedly also feature stars from shows such as Love Island and Ibiza Weekender.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: ‘Kerry is always TV gold so bosses were desperate to sign her up for this show.
‘She’s always up for off-the-wall things and is hilarious to watch, so they know she’ll have viewers in stitches.’

As well as the wacky treatment procedures, contestants on the show will take on hardcore counselling sessions with a therapist.
The source continued: ‘Viewers will see Kerry working through some painful trauma she has been through in her life in recent years.
‘Kerry is quite a spiritual person, so the experience is very cathartic and emotional for her.’

Channel 4 confirmed that the other contestants will be revealed in the coming weeks.
A spokesperson said: ‘The line-up for the show will be confirmed in due
course.’
Former Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson was also said to be taking part but, reportedly quit after just two days of filming as the programme was too ‘extreme’ for her.

A source said that Megan ‘realised very quickly into filming that the show was a bit too much for her.’
‘The “treatments” are really full-on and quite radical, and she just felt like she had bitten off more than she could chew,’ they explained.

‘It wasn’t the show’s fault, they were upfront about what she was signing up for, but Megan didn’t really appreciate the reality of how intense it all would be until she got on set.’
Reps for Kerry Katona have been contacted for comment.
