Kerry Jayne Elizabeth Katona was born on September 6, 1980, in Warrington, Cheshire, England. Of Hungarian ancestry, she experienced a turbulent childhood and was raised by four different sets of foster parents. As a result, she attended eight different schools before leaving formal education at the age of sixteen. Following her departure from school, Katona briefly worked as a dancer before embarking on a career in entertainment.
Kerry Katona gained widespread recognition in 1999 as a founding member of Atomic Kitten, a British pop group formed by Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw—former members of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). McCluskey and Kershaw wrote many of Atomic Kitten's early hits, helping to shape the group's pop sound. The band achieved major commercial success, most notably with the single “Whole Again,” which topped the UK Singles Chart for four consecutive weeks and remained at number one in Germany for six weeks. Atomic Kitten’s music resonated strongly with early 2000s pop audiences.
Kerry Katona's personal life has often been in the public spotlight. She married Irish pop singer Brian McFadden, a member of the boy band Westlife, in 2002. The couple had two daughters before separating in 2004; their divorce was finalized in 2006.
In February 2007, Katona married Mark Croft, a taxi driver, while heavily pregnant with their first child. Their daughter was born just six days after the marriage ceremony. The couple later welcomed a second child in 2008. However, their relationship ended in divorce in 2011.
Katona entered her third marriage with former rugby league player George Kay. The couple had a daughter named Dylan-Jorge. Their marriage ended before Kay's death in 2019.
