Precaution: Kerry, pictured with husband Mark Croft, has been admitted to hospital

Katona's spokesman Max Clifford said the star had been troubled by swollen feet and legs.

He added: "She's been in a lot of pain, particularly in the last few days.

"It could be water retention. She's still in hospital at the moment.

"She has been in increasing pain and can hardly walk. Kerry has had a pretty rough time and it's got worse and worse. We're hoping that everything will settle down."

Filming of Katona's MTV reality series Crazy In Love was suspended when the mother-of-three went back to rehab.

It has been alleged that her husband Mark Croft, 37, slept with a barmaid he met in a nightclub in July.

Mr Clifford, who gave Katona away when she married, insisted she was being treated for her ongoing bipolar disorder.
