​KERRY Katona returned to a tiny Kent village, near Sittingbourne, this morning to talk about the fitness camp she credits with changing her life.

Army-style drills helped the 29-year-old drop a stone and she was delighted with the results.

The mum of four said: "The thought of wearing a swimsuit used to fill me with dread but now I can't wait to show off my new body, I look in the mirror and think: 'Bloody hell!'

"It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me and it’s fantastic fun."
