Kerry Katona and her fiancé Ryan Mahoney have been photographed looking at ease after the Atomic Kitten star opened up about her recent cancer scare.

The 40 year old, who recently said she's started going bald after years of wearing hair extensions, was seen outside Steph's Packed Lunch show in Leeds with her other half.

The TV personality had a big smile on her face as she walked down the street in a comfortable but chic outfit.

Kerry donned a white top with a pair of dark checkered trousers, which she teamed with a pair of pristine white trainers. The singer wore a long black padded coat over this, buttoning only halfway down.

Accessorising with some dark sunglasses, the former Celebs Go Dating star also carried a stylish brown handbag in one hand.

Walking close by was her significant other Ryan, 31, who dutifully carried the matching dark checkered blazer to go with Kerry's trousers.

Ryan himself wore a beige buttoned up top with a simple pair of blue jeans and a dark green padded jacket alongside some white trainers.

While appearing on Steph's Packed Lunch, Kerry bravely opened up on the terrifying moment she found a lump in her armpit, fearing she'd have just months to live.

Thankfully, the lump was not cancerous, but Kerry said she shared her stories to encourage others not to put off getting help.

"It was really really scary. I did a photoshoot for my clothing range and there was a picture of my arm up. You can see the lump on my armpit. Someone put a comment to get it checked," she said.

Mum-of-five Kerry, who recently shared a sweet tribute to daughter Lilly-Sue as she turned 18, explained that she ignored the lump at first, but then realised it needed checking whilst in the shower.

She said: “I was in the shower and I shaved that armpit and I thought, ‘yeah it is a bit of a big lump,’ and then when I’ve gone to shave the other armpit I was like the difference in the lump that was here to this armpit. The last six weeks my right breast had swollen out five times bigger than my left.”

Kerry continued: “I had surgery about a year and a half before on my breasts. Everything was all fine and then six weeks prior to the lump, I kept getting a really achy feeling in my breast. It was so painful.

"I thought something’s not right, the surgery has gone wrong. And then when I found the lump I did the worst thing you could possibly do, I went on Google.”

Speaking about her fears of dying, Kerry went on: “The difference in the breast was so dramatic that I’ve come out of the shower to my fiancé and I’m immediately crying. I thought I’d gone through addiction, I’ve gone through bankruptcy, I’ve gone through mental health and I can control all of those, that’s in my power.

Luckily, Kerry said that a mammogram and an MRI proved that it was not cancerous but damaged related to a previous surgery she’d undergone on her breasts.

The star revealed she was overwhelmed with relief. “I sat there crying thinking ‘oh my goodness’ and I realised the importance of life.” She added: “I felt really grateful.”
