BREAKING NEWS: Eamonn Holmes leaves Kerry Katona SPEECHLESS as he refers to her ‘ORIENTAL’ looks before making a very bitter STATEMENT live on GB News

The former Atomic Kitten star, 44, appeared on the morning talk show for a plastic surgery debate.

But as she showed off the results of a facelift one year on, Kerry was left completely shocked as Eamonn described her look as ‘Oriental’.

‘Are you happy with the eyes?’ Eamonn asked, before Kerry said: ‘I had them done over a year ago now. You know all it was I could… it was making my eyes feel a bit heavy so I had an uplift. But what I don’t like is when…’

Eamonn then cut her off to add ‘And you don’t look Oriental or anything do you?’ leaving Kerry speechless as she stumbled over her words.

The Irish presenter was later forced to apologise by show bosses live on air, but clearly unhappy with having to do so said: ‘Apparently you’re not allowed to describe someone as looking oriental or… I don’t know how I would end up describing Kerry Katona if her eyes change shape.

‘I don’t know how I’m going to say does she look like someone from some other country in the eastern of the world… The world is ridiculous.

‘How you have to apologise for people… if she painted herself or… I don’t know I can’t get into this. But anyway.’

His co-host Ellie Costello tried to save the situation, adding: ‘But Kerry looks beautiful.’

‘Kerry looks well,’ Eamonn added. ‘I’m sorry if you don’t look well or we have offended you in any way or… oh I don’t know.’

Earlier this year Kerry revealed that she cancelled her lower facelift after her children begged her not to go through with it.

Kerry revealed earlier this year that she cancelled her lower facelift after her children begged her not to go through with it

Kerry previously revealed that she had planned the cosmetic procedure and was ‘excited’ to go under the knife.

However, Kerry seemingly had a change of heart and called off the operation after her daughters ‘massively impacted’ her decision.

In an interview with The Mirror, the star – who just last year had a corrective nose operation – admitted that ‘now is not the right time’ for her latest procedure.

She explained: ‘My eldest three girls really didn’t want me to do it, they were begging me not to and said “Mum, please don’t”.’

She continued: ‘I do go off of what my kids think and I knew they didn’t want me to so that massively impacted my decision. They don’t think I need it yet and they know how tough the recovery will be, so they really didn’t want me to do it.’

Police were told to stop describing people from China and South East Asia as ‘Oriental’ in race-hate crime reports back in 2021.

Guidance issued by the Home Office excluded the term from a list of categories that are allowed to be used.

A Home Office spokesman said: ‘This term is offensive.’

Labour’s Sarah Owen – the first female MP of Chinese descent and chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Hate Crime – said it is ‘incredibly outdated’.

Kerry, is a mother to Molly, 23, Lilly, 23, from her marriage to Brian McFadden, Heidi, 18, and Max, 17, with second husband Mark Croft and youngest child, DJ, 10, with her late husband, George Kay.

Speaking further about while she initially cancelled the facelift, Kerry explained how the recovery period would have been really ‘tough’ as she recalled her struggle to recover from her recent nose surgery as ‘the most horrendous thing’.

She said: ‘It’s tough emotionally while recovering because you look so different and it’s hard to get your head around. I had to get it done medically and it wasn’t just a vanity choice, but It was really hard. I did get a bit scared, I don’t think I’m ready to do something else now.’

She added that she doesn’t have the ‘time’ for a lengthy recovery at the moment as ‘everything is so busy’.

At age 44, the singer insisted that she’s ‘definitely entitled’ to get some tweaks if she wants to, declaring she has ‘no shame’ in it.
