The former Atomic Kitten singer, 43, appeared on the ITV breakfast show to reveal her surgery success.

Kerry, who has been drug-free for 14 years, revealed on GMB that she would sniffle and struggle to breathe because her nose was slowly collapsing.

Intrigued Richard, 68, said he wanted to get a closer look and said: “Can I come over there and get a close look at your nose?”

Before his guest had time to reply, the presenter was striding over to her side of the sofa.

“You just wanted to sit next to me!” she said.

Some viewers were stunned as Kerry tilted her head back and Richard got a good look.

One said: “Get new presenters! Richard sitting staring at Kerry’s nose. I should have turned over at their last interview,” as another asked, “Why is Richard all up in that woman’s face?”

A third reacted: “Richard peering up Katona’s nose! You couldn’t make it up!”

A surgeon advised Kerry she needed surgery as she had a hole in her nose.

She shot to fame when she was a teenager after she had already survived a traumatic childhood and her mum’s issues with addiction.

Kerry, who spent time in foster care, was introduced to drugs by her mum when she was 14.

The former I’m A Celebrity star had surgery three weeks ago and said she has finally closed the door on that chapter in her life.

“It started with my second marriage, you lie down with dogs you get fleas,” Kerry told Richard and co-presenter Ranvir Singh.

She went on: “Cocaine was my friend it was my crutch.

“I wasn’t taking it every day I was a binger. When I started I couldn’t stop, I could go a while without it.

Kerry added: “Before I was famous, the first drug I took was with my mum. My mum wasn’t really a mum. She gave me speed telling me it was sherbet.”

A stunned Richard asked Kerry to repeat what she’d said, and she continued: “My mum wasn’t well, I can’t sit with regret, with hate. My mum is drug-free.

“For a very long time, I was a victim, why me? But I have to hold my hands up.

“I OD’d at one point and got up and took another line of cocaine straight away.”

In 2008 Kerry was interviewed on This Morning and was seen “slurring” her words as a result of her medication for bipolar disorder.

She admitted today she had done “loads of interviews” and had been “used”.

She said: “Certain people and situations have had a massive impact but for you to truly move on from the lessons you have learned, you have to own them. You’ve got to let it go.”

Kerry later shared a photo from her morning in the ITV studios with her ten-year-old daughter DJ and presenter Richard.

She said: “Dj has had the best morning @gmb she was so excited meeting the @bgt stars and, obviously, the one and only @richardmadeleyofficial, who has always been so bloody lovely to me over the many years we’ve known each… Really hope my story gave you all a little bit of hope.”
