Oops! Kerry Katona is once again showing off a new form as she hit the beach during a recent sun-drenched getaway shortly after she admitting to undergoing 'a s**t load of lipsuction

Kerry has already spent over £15,000 on cosmetic surgery and has resorted to more liposuction and a 'mini tummy tuck' in a bid to improve her body image.

The singer took to Twitter last month following the procedures at the Belvedere Clinic in Kent, to let fans know she was on the mend. 

The ex-Atomic Kitten singer was clearly proud of her physique as she was seen smouldering in the blue two-piece which boosted her cleavage. 

The bottoms featured a tie-side and a super low-cut front which flashed the tape holding the stitches from her recent surgery.

With the temperatures taking a turn for the worse back home, it's that time of year when celebrities all seem to head to the beach. We're so desperate for a bit of sun that we're even a bit jealous of the campmates in the I'm A Celebrity jungle!

Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona was pictured enjoying a holiday, and we couldn't help but notice her navy bikini. We love the broderie anglaise material and knot details on this two- piece, which was a bargain buy from Fat Face.

The structured underwired top is perfect for giving your bust a bit of a boost, plus crochet was a huge trend this summer, so it perfectly taps into the trend for all things textured.
