Kerry Katona shared a major health update on her unwell mother Sue in her new! magazine column this week.
Earlier this month, the former Atomic Kitten star, 44, revealed Sue was rushed to hospital when she ‘nearly died twice’ and even broke her back.
Kerry shared Sue is now ‘back home and finally out of hospital’ and has four carers looking after her.
Sharing her relief, Kerry said: ‘My mum is finally out of hospital and back home, which is such a relief. She has four carers looking after her and still has the blood clots – those are something she needs to live with now.
‘She has a zimmer frame and a grab handle on her bed etc, so she’s got everything she needs.
‘She’s doing really well and I’m so relieved she’s back home – there was a point where I didn’t think she’d get there.

‘I do feel guilty that I’ve not spent as much time with her this week, but I’ve had to be at home for the kids. It’s so hard to find a balance.’
has shared a worrying health update on her seriously unwell mother Sue, admitting her ‘body isn’t coping when her oxygen is removed’.
The former I’m A Celeb star has always been candid about life with her mother and previously opened up about her difficult childhood.
She previously revealed her earliest memory is watching her embattled mother Sue slit her wrists when the star was just three.
Kerry spoke to New Magazine about the trauma of living with her mum, who was manic-depressive, having spoken exhaustively in the past about her chequered upbringing and struggles.
She said: ‘My earliest memory is watching my mum slit her wrists. I was three. She was manic-depressive and self-harmed until I was 15. That’s just the way my life is. I’ve come so far from being a foster kid growing up in a council house.’
Kerry has frequently reflected publicly on her childhood in growing up in Warrington, Cheshire, having last year recalled the horrifying moment her mother’s ex-boyfriend threatened to ‘chop her feet off’ after stabbing her troubled parent.
The mother-of-five went on to say that she was subsequently put in a foster home following the terrifying ordeal, which occurred when she was just 13.

Kerry also discussed her mum Sue who had a ‘terrible childhood’ and issues with drugs and her mental health, adding: ‘She didn’t really know how to be a mum’.
Having now looked back on her mother’s self-harming and troubles, Kerry confessed she does not have any regrets and is happy with her life now.
It comes after she is said to be ‘devastated’ from splitting with her fiance of six years.
Kerry described Ryan Mahoney, 36, as ‘like a dad’ to her young children, which has made the break up harder.
A source told The Sun: ‘Kerry’s kids are really devastated about Ryan moving out – it’s hit them really hard.
‘He was like a dad to them because he has been in their lives for such a long time.
‘Kerry hates seeing them upset, it makes her sick to her stomach so she is doing everything in her power to make sure she is constantly checking up on them.
They added that the media personality is trying to be strong for Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 14, and eight-year-old DJ.

Writing in her Ok! Magazine column on Thursday, Kerry penned: ‘Last week I spoke about how Ryan and I were having a tough time and now he has moved out of the house.
‘We are no longer together and It’s been a really tough week – I never in a million years thought this would happen. Without going into too much detail, there has been a breach of trust between us.’
She continued: ‘I don’t know if we’ll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much. I feel like everything has heaped on recently and it’s so much to deal with, I am really struggling.
‘But I know I can get through it no matter what happens, I’ve been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens.’
