Heidi, Heidi’s 18-year-old daughter, talks fame and what it was like growing up with her famous mother in her first interview.

Kerry Katona’s daughter broke down in tears as she recalled a chilling childhood memory of her stepdad hitting her mum.

Heidi Katona was just a child when her third husband, former rugby player George Kay, tragically passed away in a drugs overdose in 2019 at the age of 39 after “eating cocaine” at a hotel.

The now 18-year-old, who claims her biological father, Mark Croft, is Kerry’s second husband, a cab driver, and drug dealer, opened up about growing up and admitted: “I saw things as I should not have seen.”

The teen claimed she witnessed George brutally assault her mother, who is the father of Dylan-Jorge, Kerry’s 11-year-old daughter, DJ. He once threatened to kill DJ by injecting her with heroin.

Heidi, who wants to follow in her mum Kerry’s footsteps and be famous, now has mixed feelings about the man she called dad. In her first ever interview, she told The Sun: “I am grieving for him. But I also saw my dad hitting my mum.

She was unaware of what I saw at the time. It affects who I am at the moment. I should not have seen things when I was younger. I went to a therapist, but I don’t understand why. I make an effort to be resilient. Like my mother, I use humor to cover up situations, but it’s not always simple.

The 44-year-old Atomic Kitten star has gained notoriety for both her career and personal life over the years. She and her first husband, Westlife star Brian McFadden, are the mother of five with three children: Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22.

Heidi, 18, and her brother, age 17, were both born while Mark Croft, her second husband, was still alive. Heidi, who suggested her real father wasn’t a part of her life any longer, paid tribute to her mother on father’s day earlier this month and shared the photo on social media as “The woman who did both jobs @kerrykatona7 Happy Father’s Day.” DJ, 11, is Kerry’s youngest child, and her father, George Kay, her late third husband, is her.

Over her 25-year career Kerry – who grew up in foster care – has been a singer and reality TV star and been declared bankrupt twice. But she is now a self-made millionaire again after joining adults only site OnlyFans – and Heidi revealed she got her kids approval before signing up to the platform during lockdown.

Before explaining what the site was, she explained how mum Kerry sat them all down and said, “I want to do OnlyFans, tell me if you have a problem with that.” She claimed that Lockdown meant that all of her other work had ended. She should do it because she is a mature woman who makes her own decisions, we all agreed.

She made money from her earnings to purchase all of our Airpods. I thought, “This is fantastic.” There is no significant difference between her previous attempts at glamour and those of which she has been pictured with her boobs out. She then takes control of her sexuality and profits from it.

We weren’t aware that she was having money problems at the time. Over the years, she has kept a lot of secrets from us.

Her mother, who works for OnlyFans, now lives in a five-bedroom home in Cheshire and drives a Lamborghini, which Kerry acknowledges she’s made a lot of money selling foot fetish photos.

But though she has fame in her sights, Heidi insists she wants to be a lawyer or a property developer – and says she would never do Love Island as she doesn’t want her mum to see her kissing on TV.

A boy was attacked by a shark at Cabarita Beach on Sunday, and he is now receiving serious arm injuries in the hospital.

A suspected Great White shark bit a teenage boy after he was bitten by it at a beach in New South Wales, which TV hosts Ant and Dec frequent.

After the attack, Australian emergency services were called to Cabarita Beach, between Tweed Heads and Byron Bay, at 3.50pm on Sunday.

Surfers and two off-duty paramedics rushed to the boy’s aid, reportedly using a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter airlifted the teen to Gold Coast University Hospital with “serious but stable” injuries to his arms and hands.

ITV hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, have regularly been spotted enjoying downtime at Cabarita Beach in Australia during the filming of ” I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”.

They were photographed enjoying lunch together at a nearby cafe, as well as regularly swimming at the beach with their families.

Shark fatalities are uncommon in NSW, Australia, but it’s thought there have been three since 2021.

A 17-year-old girl was killed by a shark while swimming at a well-known tourist destination on Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, just weeks prior to the recent attack.

Charlize Zmuda, the victim of life-threatening upper body injuries, was treated immediately at the scene by emergency personnel. She later passed away tragically.

After the incident, her devastated family decided to concentrate on the “incredible life she lived and not the awful way she died.”

In a statement, they stated that Charlotte was a “brilliant light who truly touched the lives of everyone she met.”

At the time of the scenes’ devastation, local Chris Potter said to the Courier Mail: “People initially believed she had just been caught in a rip.”

It shocked me, I must say.

Michael Sundin once co-hosted the renowned BBC program Blue Peter, but he left after less than a year. He bravely battled a courageous health battle to pass away at the age of 28.

At the young age of 12, Michael Sundin was already a trampolining champion, a skill that would later help him land the role of Blue Peter presenter in 1984.

Before joining the iconic children’s programme, Michael had starred in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical Cats before he went on to play Tik-Tok in Disney’s Return To Oz.

He was subsequently cast alongside her and Simon Groom after meeting the Blue Peter producers during an interview with Janet Ellis, the show’s then-presenter.

Michael quickly gained notoriety for his daredevil antics on Blue Peter, reporting from movie sets and even visiting Elton John’s home after taking Peter Duncan’s shoes.

However, Michael’s on-screen charisma was sorely lacking that he left the show less than a year later, reportedly when his contract expired. He tragically passed away in 1989, at the age of 28, from an Aids-related illness.

During his brief time on Blue Peter, Michael was cruelly outdone by the media as a “blond, outgoing, gregarious ball of fun” and referred to by loved ones as a “blond, outgoing, gregarious ball of fun.”

Although then-Editor Biddy Baxter put his departure down to unpopularity with viewers, his exit was engulfed in controversy as many claimed it was because of his sexuality, OK! reports.

Baxter refuted these claims in a television interview in 2007 by saying that it was his decision to leave the program because his fans were not interested in him and had nothing to do with his sexual preferences.

Michael pursued acting after his Blue Peter stint, where he co-starred in the 1987 film Lionheart. He performed in the musical numbers Seven Brides For Seven Brothers and Starlight Express on stage, and he even made an appearance in the 1988 music video for She Wants To Dance With Me by Rick Astley.

However, Michael’s illness also caused tragedy that year. He was 28 years old when he passed away at Newcastle General Hospital, where liver cancer was initially suspected to be his cause of death.

Yvette Fielding, Blue Peter’s presenter, and John Leslie and Caron Keating, both paid tribute to him after his passing.
