Kerry Katona’s furious rant after being trolled over “severe” sickness

She is really unhappy

| Updated:

Kerry Katona has shared her dismay after being trolled for posting pictures of herself while “severely” sick with Norovirus.

The mum of five revealed on Thursday she’d been suffering from a severe vomiting illness that had left her “feeling like skin and bones”, sharing photos of her current state to Instagram.

She returned to the social media website hours later to say she was “shocked” to have been targeted with negative comments over the post and insisted she only posted photos from her sick bed to show the impact of Norovirus.

“Really don’t like being this skinny, it’s not a healthy look!!!! I’ve taken pics so people can see how severe this bug is and that I have not intentionally lost this much weight purposely!!!

“WOW… absolutely shocking some of the comments on here!!”

“Regards to the weight loss, which is completely out of my control… was only showing how severe this illness has been and I wouldn’t wish it upon anybody.

“Bloody hell people, what’s the matter with you?????? Get a bloody grip!!

“But for those who don’t have a sad life and have sent me well wishes thank you…. the rest of you small minded people, please unfollow and take your negativity and shove up your hole!! Amen.”
