I’m never taking my three kids on holiday with me ever again – I’m putting them up for adoption, jokes Kerry Katona

KERRY Katona has joked she's putting her three youngest children up for adoption after the stress of taking them on holiday.

Mum-of-five Kerry went to Spain with Heidi, 15, Maxwell, 14, Dylan-Jorge, eight, and her fiance Ryan Mahoney.

But in an Instagram live the former Atomic Kitten singer joked that it had been far from the relaxing break she'd pictured.

Kerry said: "I’m on my way home, the kids have drove me crazy. Never going away with them ever again.

"Never, never, ever, ever, ever going away with the kids again. In fact, I need a holiday. I need another holiday now, because you guys have stressed me out that much.

"So yeah, the kids drove me crazy. I’m thinking about putting them up for adoption when we get home."

But Kerry and Ryan were snapped looking loved up as they frolicked on the beach, with her showing off her figure in a turquoise bikini.

Kerry is also mum to Molly, 20, and Lilly-Sue, 19, who she shares with ex-husband Brian McFadden.

While Kerry jokes about the kids giving her a hard time she recently confessed she'd love to become a grandma.

Writing in her column, she said: "I think about it all the time – I’m so worried about not being here for their future.

"If Lilly told me she was pregnant, I’d want her to have it because I want to experience as much as possible.

“I’m constantly worried about my health. I instantly jump to the worst case scenario. It’s exhausting.”
