Kerry Katona has said she is a millionaire again thanks to selling explicit photos on OnlyFans.

The former Atomic Kitten singer charges fans £19.99 per month to subscribe to her account and in an interview with The Sun, she revealed: "It made me a millionaire again."

Katona also revealed that, thanks to her income from the site, she has been able to buy an 'amazing home' and a Lamborghini as well as send her children to private school.

Katona, who also had a career as a reality star, turned to selling explicit pictures of herself after finding herself in financial hardship. She was declared bankrupt in 2008 and again in 2013.

She says she now earns tens of thousands a month through subscriptions and she credits the site for allowing her to set up other businesses.

Since she started on the site, Katona has set up her own clothing boutique as well as a dating app.

Katona has also hit back at those who criticised her move into selling adult content: "People are quick to say, 'she's desperate' if I get out a bit of nipple, but I've made my first million since bankruptcy and I'm so, so proud. If it wasn't for OnlyFans I wouldn't have had money to invest in myself and in making more companies."

Katona, who started out as a Page 3 model, says the impetus for the move to OnlyFans was needing to borrow £50 to feed her children.

She has previously discussed feeling suicidal due to her financial struggles that saw her forced to sell her mansion in Wimslow after not being able to pay a tax bill.

She blamed her bankruptcy on the accountants she hired and never being taught how to manage money before making it big.

Katona also had advice for those who are struggling financially or with their mental health: "Anybody who is going through what I have gone through, please reach out and talk to somebody. There's light at the end of the tunnel, I promise you."
