Kerry Katona opened up about her troubled childhood during an emotional segment for Steph's Packed Lunch.The former Atomic Kitten star was seen breaking down in tears as she discussed how her foster parents changed her life while chatting to student Destiny who was in care from when she was a baby.Kerry, 41, also paid her foster dad Fred a visit in the thought-provoking segment as she raised awareness of what it's like to be a foster child in the exclusive video.She explained: “As a child, I moved around a lot.
At the age of 13, I was put into foster care… I stayed in several foster homes and refuges but eventually, I was taken in by an amazing couple, Mag and Fred.
Mags sadly passed away six years ago, but I still remain really close to Fred.” Kerry then took a walk down memory lane as she went to visit Fred, remembering the first time she met the kind-hearted couple.She said: “The first I came in here, I came in the kitchen and Mags said that I opened all the cupboards and I was like, ‘Oh my god you’ve got food in your cupboards.’ I was like, ‘Look at all the food in there!’”Fred then recalled how his late wife prepared him for meeting Kerry, he said: “She rung me up at work and said we’ve got a lovely girl here, but you can’t get a word in edgeways with her, but you’ll like her when you see her.”Kerry added: “I was so close to Fred, when I married my first husband, Brian, I wanted Fred to give me away.
I genuinely believe if I didn’t have those three years here, I could be a completely different person… I’m so grateful for Mag and Fred and the positive impact they’ve had on my life.”Kerry was then seen sharing more of her experience with Destiny, who was in several foster homes up until the age of 10 when she met her.
