Kerry Katona left in tears after visit to Ireland to see daughter Molly McFadden

Kerry Katona flew to Dublin to surprise her daughter Molly McFadden, who has been living in the Irish capital with her sister Lilly-Sue for a number of years

Kerry Katona made a heartwarming surprise visit to her daughter Molly in Dublin recently. Molly and her sibling Lilly-Sue have been living in Ireland for some time, and while Kerry is proud of their self-reliance, she admits she struggles with the distance between them.

To bridge the gap, Kerry frequently flies out to Dublin. She shared a touching video on Instagram detailing her clandestine trip to meet Molly. In a sequence of videos, she described: “I’m at a restaurant where I’m meeting our Lilly, and Molly is coming to meet Lilly, but Molly doesn’t know that I’m here. So I’m hiding and waiting, and I’m very excited. She has no idea that I’m here, she thinks I can’t make it.”

After her visit, Kerry posted about her return journey: “Short but sweet… has such a lovely night with my girls @lils. mc @123_mollymc @nyxhotelsdublin ALWAYS love coming to my 2nd home here in Dublin now flying home just in time for the school run”.

This news comes on the heels of Kerry’s sun-soaked retreat to Thailand last month with daughter Heidi. Writing in her column for OK! Magazine, the Atomic Kitten singer mused: “While this holiday is fantastic, I’m really looking forward to going home.

” I love my home comforts and I miss the other kids. When I go away, I always end up missing them so much much more than they miss me! I’ve been FaceTiming DJ since I got here and have been in constant contact with all my kids. “

She candidly discussed the difficulties of vacationing with teenagers, saying:” As much as I love being away with Heidi, it is tough with teenagers and I’m missing having a partner to share this holiday with.

“Heidi doesn’t want to do any activities with me she would rather stay in the hotel and she’s a typical teenager where everything I say is wrong, so that’s not easy. I found myself bursting into tears the other day because I became anxious and it built up.

” Being away for the first time without Ryan is difficult. I’m OK on my own but I like having that bond with someone. “Kerry and Ryan split after six years together, with Katona citing a” breach of trust “and feeling unsupported as reasons for the separation.
