Kerry Katona has confirmed that she’s six weeks pregnant with her fourth child but she’s worried she’ll lose the baby.

Kerry was taken to hospital last week after suddenly feeling ill. Her spokesperson Max Clifford explained: “She was driving to London and fell ill. She was losing blood. They took her to hospital and found she was pregnant. She is at home and has been told to rest.”

A second source added: “She’s had problems with her other pregnancies - and this time she has been losing a lot of blood. The doctors weren’t sure exactly what the problem was at first, but now they know and it’s not looking good at all.”

But Kerry still decided to publicly annouce the pregnancy in OK magazine because “I can’t keep my big mouth shut for very long.”

The baby will be Kerry’s second child with husband Mark Croft - she gave birth to their daughter Heidi shortly after their wedding in February. She also has two daughters from her previous marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden.
