Kerry Katona has revealed her mother needs to move into assisted living after suffering a ‘really bad fall’.
The Atomic Kitten star, 45, and her pal Katie Price, 47, are currently in the midst of their tell-all tour, An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona.
While Kerry has managed to find time to look after her injured mother in-between shows, the star candidly admitted that she isn’t able to care for her ‘all the time’.
She wrote in her new! magazine column: ‘I did have to take time out [this week] to check on my mum, as she had a really bad fall.
‘Thankfully she’s OK, but we are trying to get her to agree to assisted living because I can’t be with her all the time and she needs more hands-on help.’
It comes after Kerry jumped to her mother’s defence last month as she warned fans not to send her negative messages after opening up about her traumatic childhood.

While Kerry has managed to find time to look after her injured mother in-between shows, the star candidly admitted that she isn’t able to care for her ‘all the time’ (pictured together in 2018)
The star sat down with Paul C Brunson for the latest episode of his highly successful podcast We Need To Talk.
During her time with the relationship guru, recalled how she was raised not knowing who her real father was, only discovering her biological dad after his death.
She revealed how her mother had a number of short-lived relationships with men she was led to believe were her dad, with one being physically abusive and forcing her and her mum to go into witness protection.
Kerry admitted being put in ‘unspeakable situations’ as a child, that ‘no child should ever be in, ever’ as she described going through four sets of foster parents and living in a shelter, while her mum battled mental health issues and drug addiction.
Following the sad admission, Kerry has now urged her followers not to troll or send hateful messages to her mum Sue.
Taking to Instagram, she thanked fans for their support as she said she was holding back tears, when she urged them to remember how her mum is now an ‘older lady’.
Kerry said: ‘It was a very, very long time ago and I love my mum dearly and my mum is not that person anymore, she’s a much older lady now.
‘So if anyone is thinking of sending her any messages hate, please don’t. Please don’t, we all make mistakes and my mum’s childhood was awful and it’s in the past and it’s made me who I am today.’

In a lengthy caption alongside her video, she added: ‘It’s been a heavy day its never easy to speak about heartache and hurt and even more so being able to admit publicly about all the mistakes I have made over the years but also the mistakes my mum has made, but these are very much in the past the past has been and gone.
‘Me and my mum are living in the present in the moment I wouldn’t be who I am today if it wasn’t for my mum who I love with all my heart and always will for those who are sending negativity and mean comments towards my mum.
‘Please remember my mum is now a much older lady and not the woman she used to be it takes a lot to hold your hands up and take accountability for your mistakes which my mother has done and which I intern I’ve also done and every day each one of us including yourselves, we try and forgive ourselves for our mistakes just remember we all make them we’re all only human.
‘All we can do now is try and be the better version of who we was yesterday and once again, thank you all so so much for all your beautiful heartfelt wonderful comments.’
She added: ‘Positivity and blessings to everybody that’s all I ever want.’
Kerry is currently dating personal trainer Paolo Magaglione, 33, and has reportedly moved him into her home just two months after they met on Celebs Go Dating.
Prior to this she was in a six and a half year relationship with fiancé Ryan Mahoney before they split at the end of last year.
She was reportedly planning to have a child with Ryan before they split.
Kerry has daughters Molly, 22 and Lilly, 20 with her ex husband Brian McFadden who she was married to from 2002–2006.
She is also mum to Heidi, 17, and Max, 15, with ex husband Mark Croft and eight-year-old DJ from her relationship with the late George Kay.
