KERRY KATONA sent social media into meltdown after stealing the show on the undercard of Hughie Fury's bout against Sam Sexton.

The 37-year-old carried the Irish flag for friend Peter McDonagh as he geared up to face Peter Kramer at Bolton's Macron Stadium.

But Katona's presence failed to inspire McDonagh to a tenth straight victory as he drew against his Hungarian opponent, with his record now at 28-28-2.

The 40-year-old could have been put off by the Atomic Kitten singer, who was letting her presence be known at ringside.

One person watching the event tweeted: "All I can hear is f****** Kerry Katona ringside."

Katona - who won I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2004 - was ridiculed on Twitter after her entrance, as well as being too vocal as she cheered on her pal.

One boxing fan posted: "Kerry Katona walking out McDonagh to the ring and doing some sort of chicken dance when she got in. Boxing on Spike is comedy gold."

While another said: "Led into the ring by Kerry Katona... star quality everywhere you look. Can’t help but love the comedy of a Hennessy show."
