Pregnant Kerry Katona is reportedly in labour, five weeks before her baby is meant to be due.

The troubled 27-year old had been filming her reality MTV show Crazy In Love when her waters broke. She was quickly rushed to hospital amid fears she was on the brink of collapsing, reports the Sun.

A friend told the paper: “Kerry is just pleased the pregnancy is coming to an end. Her legs and ankles were so swollen she could barely walk.

“Kerry had to use a walking stick and was very stressed. Docs told her to scrap the show and rest.”

The ex-Atomic Kitten star is reportedly expecting a baby boy with husband Mark Croft. She plans on naming him Max.

She has also recently been admitted to the Priory clinic for depression treatment after allegations that Mark had cheated on her surfaced.
