Kerry Katona puts on surprise private performance in Devon
A former friend and bodyguard of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, surprised guests at a private party in Devon over the weekend as he organised a special performance by none other than Atomic Kitten star, Kerry Katona.
Martial arts athlete and business entrepreneur, Matt Fiddes, who watched over the Smooth Criminal singer for 10 years prior to his death in 2009, was hosting a business event in Tiverton on Saturday night, with Kerry Katona showing up as a special guest to the after-party.
The 44-year-old TV personality, who featured in the original Atomic Kitten line-up from 1998 until 2001, arrived through the fire escape at the venue, and went on to perform the group's 2001 number one single, 'Whole Again' - the final track she recorded with former bandmates Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton.

And no-one was more surprised than Matt's wife, Moniqe Fiddes - who is herself a pop singer from South Africa, who was inspired to pursue a career in music thanks to Atomic Kitten.
Moniqe looked gobsmacked as Kerry arrived at the event, and went on to invite the South African singer to join her in a performance of 'Whole Again', with a bit of participation from the gathered crowd of guests.
The pair then shared a hug as a beaming Moniqe said: "Wow, thank you so much. What an honour that was."
Matt Fiddes shared a video of the full performance to his Instagram, with the caption: "Kerry Katona surprises my wife Monique Fiddes singing with her! Thanks Kerry!"
Kerry had made the five-hour trip down to Devon from her Cheshire home to appear as a guest speaker at the business and wealth summit in Tiverton, hosted by Matt Fiddes.
In a video shared to her Instagram last Thursday, she said: "I'm so excited to be speaking at this incredible event hosted by my dear friend, Matt Fiddes, and I can't wait to see you all there. It's going to be amazing."
