Kerry Katona slammed by fans for allowing son Max, ten, to ‘train to be a bodybuilder’ and bragging about it with topless snap

KERRY Katona has come under fire from fans for encouraging her ten-year-old son Max to lift weights.

Fitness fanatic Kerry's newfound passion for exercise appears to have rubbed off on Max, who flexed his muscles on his mum's Instagram page.

Kerry, 37, was proud of the progress he's made, writing: "Check out my little man and he’s awesome muscles! He’s been training so hard bless him 💪💪💪💪 he wants to be a bodybuilder! Xxx."

Not everyone was impressed the snaps though, with one concerned follower writing: "Too young! Let him be a boy!!"

There was support too for Kerry and Max, though, with some calling him beautiful and another asking if he could even get trained by him.

Kerry is currently abroad on a holistic camp and she has seen big results this year after changing her lifestyle.

After kicking her greasy take­away habit and unhealthy relationship, and taking up yoga and exercise, the 5ft 2in singer has shed three stone within a year.

She is now 8st 7lb and a size six to eight.

She gets up at 5.30am for 20 minutes’ yoga and is on a strict “man ban” after splitting from third husband George Kay.

In a chat with The Sun's Fabulous magazine earlier this year, she said: “I’ve not had sex for a year. I’d love to get my leg over but I don’t want a relationship.

“I get chatted up a lot by men in theirs 20s. It does wonders for my ego and I wouldn’t rule out a toyboy, but I don’t want anything serious right now.

“But I do miss having sex and a cuddle, who doesn’t?”

Mum-of-five Kerry added: “Being a single mum is tough and it can be lonely.

"I still have those days where I just want to lock myself away in the bathroom and cry. But my kids are my world, they keep me going.

“I’m in a really good headspace at the moment and I want to continue down this path.”

Kerry catapulted to fame aged just 19 as part of girlband Atomic Kitten — though arguably, her private life has been just as infamous as her music career.

She said: “I’ve been there. I’ve had three divorces, been bankrupt and battled a cocaine addiction as well as Bipolar.

"But whereas most people get to grieve in private, mine was played out in front of the world.”

Kerry used to comfort eat when she was with rugby star George — father of her youngest child, ­daughter Dylan-Jorge, three.

She said: “It was a dark time for me. It was difficult to look after myself with everything going on.”
