Kerry Katona appeared on the Big Brother’s Bit on the Side panel on Thursday night to chat about the latest drama in the house.

Struggling to get her words out Kerry, 36, pointed to her cheek.

Rylan, 28, then jumped in and explained the reason Kerry was slurring.

He told viewers: “Let me just say as well before you pipe up and say she’s doing a This Morning, she’s not!

“She’s had a couple of teeth out today so don’t be piping up or I’ll have ya!”

The mum-of-five hit headlines with her infamous 2008 This Morning interview with Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton which saw Kerry slurring her words, blaming medication she had taken a few hours earlier.

Thankful for Rylan’s support Kerry went on to say: “So anyway Phillip….” before bursting out laughing.

Shortly before her appearance on the spin-off show Kerry explained to her followers on Instagram that she was in “pain” following the surgery.

In a clip shared onto her account Kerry told fans: “Hi everybody I am at Big Brother’s Bit on the Side.”

“But before we actually go on air later on tonight I just want you all to know that I am talking slightly silly as I had emergency surgery yesterday and I am in a lot of pain,” she added as she pulled her mouth to the side to show the gap in her mouth where her tooth used to be.

“So please nobody judge me I’m not drunk I just have a really bad mouth,” she said.

Earlier this year Kerry appeared on This Morning and spoke about her infamous interview, which led to many believing she had taken drugs shortly before.

The star, who was diagnosed with bipolar in 2005, spoke to presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.

She said: “It was eight years ago I was on the famous couch, [the] infamous interview of me slurring.

“That was due to medication, pure medication.”

But the doting mum definitely looked on top form showing off her brand new bleach pixie crop on BBBOTS last night.

The dramatic hair style came after her three-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge decided to cut her own hair after finding a pair of scissors.

Kerry left fans in hysterics after sharing a photo of DJ’s new pixie crop after she decided to chop off her blonde locks.

The Atomic Kitten singer captioned the photo: “My dj who thought it would be a good idea to cut her own hair!!!! But she still looks beautiful ✂️✂️✂️😂😂😘😘.”

One fan commented: “Oh no! She still looks so cute!”

Another said: “Can’t stop laughing but she’s still a little cutie xxx.”

Kerry then uploaded a pic explaining that she had cut her own hair so her and DJ could be matching.

She wrote: “Ok so I decided to cut my own hair so dj and I would be matching 😍😍😂😂😂.”
