Kerry Katona has revealed she’s made millions on OnlyFans and admitted it is just ‘too much money to turn down’.
The Atomic Kitten Star, 45, turned to the X-rated subscription site in 2020 to boost her dwindling finances.
During a recent appearance on Paul C. Brunson’s podcast, We Need To Talk, Kerry shared OnlyFans helped her financially after becoming bankrupt.
She explained: ‘I made about 175 grand in the first month.
‘I’ve made millions. I’ve made millions on it and I’ll continue to do it because it’s just too much money to turn down.’
Kerry previously revealed she thought about taking her own life when she was declared bankrupt in 2008.

The media personality was declared bankrupt after failing to pay £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill, losing her £1.25million home in Wilmslow in the process.
Kerry filed for bankruptcy once more in 2013 at her local office in Wigan. It is reported her legal woes didn’t stop there and that she filed for bankruptcy again in 2018, but this one didn’t go ahead.
Explaining in more detail, Kerry shed light on her financial situation and says she had no idea what was happening behind her back.
Speaking about her former accountant, David McHugh, she said: ‘I turned into a bit of a ninja and went around his office because I knew it was him. I knew in me soul that it was him, I kicked his door down and I grabbed his tie and I don’t want to say too much in case I get arrested again.
‘It was for assault, Yeah. And, I physically, like, punched him in the face and I got put in the cells for 14 hours with my shoelaces taken off me.
‘That was the second time I was arrested for something different. And I kept thinking, this can’t be happening. I’m being arrested. And I said, sure, please, please raid him. Please. I’m telling you now. And they eventually did. And you know the squares in the ceiling, they went up and he found a box. I’ve still got it somewhere.
‘It had all like TSB, Lloyds, Barclays all these companies’ house names, Kerry Katona Entertainment, KK Limited Cleaning. Nothing to do with me. All forged, all these paychecks. And he got arrested. He actually went down for about five years, not just to do it to me, but he did it to loads of people.’
Elsewhere during the interview, Kerry revealed that she almost became an escort with her mum at 16 years old before she landed a Page 3 modeling job.

Kerry said: ‘I had a great set of t**s. Like, I’d been modeling since I was three… so I was, like, a really good-looking kid, you know, and I had these great boobs.’
Her mother, Sue, had sent off her portfolio of pictures, with the photographer asking if she’d be interested in doing topless photos.
Paul then asked the star to turn the topic back to the topless snaps for her portfolio, with Kerry admitting it was purely ‘her idea’.
The singer, who said she knew from a young age that she was going to be famous, said she was even thinking about being an escort at the time.
Kerry explained: ‘I even was gonna sign up to be an escort,’
‘My mum took me into a sex shop. I didn’t end up doing it… Well, there was a photographer and mum didn’t end up coming, that’s all I can say..’
Pausing to collect her emotions, Kerry continued: ‘And he convinced me to do open leg shots – but I’ve gone back to doing it on OnlyFans, gone back to my roots – and that came back to haunt me then, when I became famous, he sold all those pictures.

‘And Brian paid a fortune to try getting removed, and then I ended up going on OnlyFans and doing it anyways, the irony…’
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.
Speaking about her upbringing on We Need To Talk, Kerry said: ‘There were always fights.
‘I mean, the things I saw my mum do I can’t even repeat because it’s so cruel. So cruel, some of the things I witnessed as a kid.’
She recalled one ex of her mother’s who she instantly felt uneasy around.
Kerry explained: ‘I had to pretend, had to call him dad. And I just had this instant fear of Dave, instant fear of him, like terrified of him.
‘And I remember him walking in my bedroom – and the first time I met him, he just fell flat on his face, drunk. I knew I had to pretend and laugh, because I knew his aura. I could tell the kind of man he was going to be.
‘This one time, I’d be seven or eight, maybe eight – babysitting on stale ketchup butties, because my mum was going on the p**s for three days. And I used to go do shopping by myself…
‘But this one time I remember I was in bed, my mum had been out, and she came in and she sat next to me and said, “Dave asked me to marry him.”
‘I went, “Don’t do it, mum… He’s going to beat you. He’s really going to beat you up.” She went, “Kerry, 16 years, he’s never laid a finger on me.”
‘The next night, she came home, black and blue, and she had the side of a shotgun to her head.’
Kerry ended up going into witness protection with her mother as they attempted to flee the abuse.
‘We had to go into hiding,’ she explained. ‘And that’s when we got put… and I remember, because of who Dave was, and I remember the social services, or whoever it was who came to get us, like witness protection.
‘We had to go into hiding, and me mum had to dye her hair… and we ended up in Manchester in a refuge.
‘At one point, I couldn’t go to school in case Dave kidnapped me, so I had to get home schooled.’
It was later in life that she was told by a foster parent that Dave was in fact her biological father.
Reflecting on her childhood, she concluded: ‘The situations I’ve been put in as a child are, some of them are unspeakable. Some of them are so unspeakable that no child should ever be in, ever.’
Part one and two of Kerry Katona on We Need To Talk is out now.
