Kerry Katona wants to look like a Barbie doll.
The Atomic Kitten singer – who recently had a tummy tuck and her third session of liposuction – is planning a dramatic transformation and is even defying doctor’s orders in order to get her figure to doll-like proportions.
A source said: "Kerry wants to model herself on the Barbie look. She wants big lips and brows and is planning to have lip fillers and Botox, as well as hair and eyelash extensions and regular fake tans.
"She’s also started wearing a waist trainer to get an hourglass shape, despite being warned against this so soon after surgery."
Kerry is reportedly hoping her new look will please husband George Kay – who was previously claimed to have exchanged flirty texts with ‘Russian Barbie’ Alena Shishkova when he and the 36-year-old star briefly split – and signify a "fresh start" for them.
The source added: "It was upsetting for Kerry when George was linked to someone else and she thinks the ‘Barbie look’ is what George likes, so she wants to emulate that. She wants to look the best she can for him.
"Her main focus is on having a happy home life with George and the kids but she wants a fresh start and is hoping the new look will play a key part in that."
But friends are concerned Kerry – who has Molly, 15, and Lilly-Sue, 13, from her relationship with Brian McFadden, Heidi, nine, and Max, eight, who she has with Mark Croft, and two-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge with George – has unrealistic expectations about her appearance.
The source told Closer magazine: "Kerry was the girl all the guys fancied at school, she’s used to getting attention from men. However, she can’t help feeling insecure about her image now and is striving to look as good as she did in her heyday, when she was in her teens.
"Kerry’s pals are worried about her and have told her it’s impossible to look like she did 20 years ago after five kids – but she wants to give it a try."
