Kerry Katona officially moves out of her £2m Cheshire mansion as she downsizes like pal Katie Price
KERRY Katona has kissed goodbye to her £2million mansion after deciding to downsize to a smaller property.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, has followed in the footsteps of her friend Katie Price, who has also moved out of her mansion.
Katie, 45, left her Mucky Mansion in West Sussex last month after owning the notorious abode for 10 years.
Kerry was met by removal men on Friday after deciding that her currently family home was “too big” for her.
The OnlyFans model has decided she would be happier living in a smaller property, as she has struggled to maintain the whopping house.
Taking to Instagram, Kerry posed for a snap with her arms around the removal men who were helping her to move.
She also admitted she had been plying them with cups of tea as they transported all of hers and her family’s belongings to their new home.
Kerry said: “It’s moving day!!! And using our trusted and amazing removal team @weareanyvan.
“Just a big shout out to you guys, you’ve never let us down! I’ll get the kettle on.”
The mum-of-five revealed last month that they are all upping sticks.
Kerry – who is engaged to Ryan Mahoney – says her new house isn’t far, meaning her youngest child Dylan Jorge (DJ), nine, can stay in her school.
They had toyed with the idea of moving to Marbella, Spain, but shelved those plans after deciding not to disrupt the children’s schooling.
Writing in her column for New! magazine in May, Kerry said: “We’re moving next month and we haven’t packed a single thing. We are not prepared!
“I’m going to be really sad to leave this house, because it’s gorgeous and we really get along with our neighbours. It’s a shame.”
But she added: “I want a house to feel really homely and this one is just so big, I can’t keep on top of it.
“There will be less mess for me to tidy up after the kids in the new house, and it’s still close by for DJ’s school.”
Kerry and her brood only moved into her Cheshire mansion in June 2021.
At the time, she fought back tears as she gave fans a tour of the vast property on Instagram.
Kerry described it as a “new chapter” in her life, as she returned to the county of Cheshire after years away.
Panning out of the huge windows in her video tour, she said: “Beautiful gardens. It’s a new chapter guys I feel really overwhelmed.”
Kerry – who battled an addiction to cocaine in the past – then added: “The last time I lived here (in Cheshire) I was doing loads of coke, losing all my money, hanging around d*******s who used and abused me.
“Not only have I climbed halfway back up I’ve climbed all the way up to the top.
“Who’d have thought I’d have made it through? If you were to put a bet at the bookies if I was going to end up dead, I would have taken that bet.”
Kerry – who is mum to Molly, 22, Lilly-Sue, 21, Heidi, 17, Max, 15, and DJ – is yet to reveal her new, smaller property to fans.
