Kerry Katona didn’t miscarry her baby on Tuesday after all, according to new reports.

Kerry publicly announced her fourth pregnancy on Tuesday in an interview with OK magazine but thought she lost the baby at home later that day. She told family and friends about the loss - only for doctors to find a heartbeat when she checked into hospital that evening.

A friend told the Mirror: “It’s a miracle. She’s really, really happy about it and so is [husband Mark Croft].

“She isn’t angry with the hospital. She understands how and why they got it wrong.”

Her publicist Max Clifford added: “Kerry went back into hospital for a medical procedure on Tuesday night. However, a blood test revealed surprising results - her pregnancy hormones had gone up, not down.”

“Kerry was taken for a second scan and was shown her baby’s 3mm heart beat. It has transpired that Kerry is only five weeks pregnant, not seven-eight weeks, which is why the scan was not clear and coupled with bleeding led to her being diagnosed with having had a miscarriage.”

The baby will be Kerry & Mark’s second child together after daughter Heidi was born earlier in the year. They both also have children from previous relationships.
