Kerry Katona has revealed why she refuses to allow her daughter Heidi to attend a private high school.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, told how the 16-year-old is now at a crossroads with her school years and Kerry has some big decisions to make.
She shared that she is hesitant to spend the money on the expensive education because Heidi “already isn't in school enough” and she “hates it too.”
The star is mother to daughters Molly (21) and Lilly (20) with ex Brian McFadden, Heidi and Max (15) with ex Mark Croft and nine-year-old Dylan-Jorge with George Kay.
In her New Magazine column she wrote about Heidi's school career: “She has asked to continue her studies in the sixth form at a private school, but I refuse to pay for it because she doesn't go to school enough anyway and she hates it. “

“It would be different if she decided to go to drama school – I would pay for it because she is a born star and is really good.”
“I imagine she's famous and she could make a name for herself by posting cute TikToks or something. But does a 16-year-old ever listen to his mother?”
This comes after Kerry revealed how she lost three stone and a whopping four dress sizes in just one year.
The OnlyFans star went from a size 16 to a slim size 36 in just 12 months and explained exactly how she did it.
Kerry said OK! Magazine: “I was a bit stuck and full of self-loathing, which led to emotional eating.” In order for me to feel better inside, something had to change. It was all about how I felt in my head.
“It started when I moved from Sussex back north to Cheshire in 2021. It was a big step and a big change.” I was triggered because I was like, “Oh God, this is where I used to do drugs.”
Kerry has maintained her weight by doing yoga every morning, counting calories and doing MFIT workouts, a program she shares with her fiancé Ryan.
She ended by saying, “I don't lose weight for anyone but myself and I'm happy when I'm fit and healthy.” Don't get me wrong, it doesn't matter what size you are if you're happy, but I feel not comfortable when I'm bigger. “I’m much more confident now.”
She shared that she is hesitant to spend the money on the expensive education because Heidi “already doesn't go to school enough” and also “hates it.”
Kerry has been engaged to Ryan Mahoney, a personal trainer, for over three years.
In 2023, Kerry announced her plans to freeze her eggs, but insisted she and Ryan, 35, were in no rush to have children.
Despite the star's recent weight loss, it hasn't been an easy journey for Kerry, who confessed she felt like “a swollen beached whale” while on holiday in Mallorca with her family in August 2022.
Kerry admitted at the time that she was struggling with her weight gain and revealed she felt like she was trapped in someone else's body.
She said she felt more swollen than fat and planned to try lymphatic drainage and water retention tablets to correct the problem.
Kerry explained: “I've gained a hell of a lot of weight this holiday but that's completely normal and I'm just embracing it.”
“On vacation I just ate and drank shit.” We were there for two weeks and ate out every night. Some nights we stayed home and got takeout, like pizza and chips.”
