Former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona gave birth to a premature baby daughter by Caesarean section yesterday.

Heidi Elizabeth was born four weeks before Katona's due date at Warrington General Hospital, weighing 5lbs.

This is Katona's third daughter - she has two girls with former husband Brian McFadden - and her first with new husband Mark Croft, who she married at Gretna Green on Valentine's Day.

Her spokesman Max Clifford said: "The baby was a little early but that wasn't too much of a surprise. Nobody believed Kerry would go to full term because she was absolutely huge."

"It seems the little one wanted to get out sooner rather than later."
