Kerry Katona insists 'I'm focusing on keeping my family safe' as she weighs in on Israel-Iran conflict
Kerry Katona has weighed in on the terrifying Israel-Iran conflict, insisting she's 'focusing on keeping her family safe'. In her weekly New! magazine column, Kerry, 44, admitted she's been 'really afraid' watching the war break out between Israel, Iran and the US. She wrote: 'I've been really afraid about the conflict going on between Iran and Israel, especially with the US getting involved. 'It's such a scary world we live in right now - I feel like it keeps getting worse and worse. Every time I read the news or watch it on TV, something else utterly devastating is happening. 'I try to focus on my family - my priority - and keeping us safe, but what's going on internationally is so concerning.' Israel began a blitz campaign against nuclear, military and civilian sites across Iran, which the US later join, in the so-called 12-day war. The war, which saw Iran retaliate against Israeli and American military and civilian sites, began as US and Iranian diplomats sat down for talks over the Middle Eastern nation's nuclear programme. Amid her fears, Kerry revealed she is 'going under the knife' again after suffering from a side effect following her recent two-stone weight loss. The former Atomic Kitten star, who is a mother of four, explained that her transformation has also caused her breast to shrink in size. Elsewhere in her New! magazine column, she confessed she was finally getting her 'long-awaited boob job'. She penned: 'Ever since losing weight, I feel like I've also lost my old boobs, so I'm excited to have some again. 'I'm going under the knife again this month for my long-awaited boob job. You guys might remember that I was going to get one earlier this year but I ended up having to reschedule due to being in Thailand soon after, because you can't fly for a while after having the procedure.' Kerry then admitted that while she is looking forward to it, she is nervous because she is 'never really good at coping in the lead-up'. Earlier this year, Kerry revealed she has been forced to cancel her long awaited fourth boob job this week over safety concerns. Kerry, who has had three previous augmentations, announced earlier this year that she was planning to go under the knife again after being left tripping over her nipples' following her most recent weight loss. But after retuning from her recent break in Thailand, doctors stopped the procedure going ahead amid concerns it was too soon for surgery after a long-haul flight. She wrote in her OK! column: 'I headed to get my boob job the other day and ended up not being able to get it done, I didn't realise that you can't get surgery after flying and I had just returned from Thailand. 'It's a shame, but I'm glad Pall Mall Cosmetics - where I was booked in - take safety so seriously and put regulations above the procedure.' Adding: 'I could have rebooked it, but I'm going back to Thailand next week so I would have had to cancel my trip and the kids told me to just leave it for now. '[Daughters] Molly, Lilly and Heidi all said: 'Go to Thailand, don't get your boobs done!' 'I think they just don't want me getting any more surgery! I'm going to leave it until summer when I'm less busy.' Kerry is mother to Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 14, and eight-year-old DJ. Kerry initially planned a breast reduction before making a shock U-turn - after losing weight following her split from fiancé Ryan Mahoney. She recently said that she was imminently going to be going for breast reduction surgery as she bemoaned her 'saggy' breasts before deciding on having a boob job instead. She'd previously complained about her breasts saying: 'Seriously, I lie down and I look like a nine-year-old boy. Take my bra off, I trip over my nipples.' 'It's health and safety. I walk around my house in a hard hat and a visibility jacket. So I decided it's got to be done just for my own health and safety, people. Pall Mall, I'll see you later today guys.' Speaking to Closer, Kerry recently revealed her two-stone weight loss and told how she is in the 'best shape' of her life. She said: 'I'm slimmer now than I was in Atomic Kitten. I'm getting there emotionally, but physically this is the best shape I've ever been in.' She attributed the weight loss to both the fallout from the split, and performing three shows a day during pantomime with Katie Price.
