Kerry Katona is reportedly on the brink of signing a modeling deal with a leading UK underwear firm.

The mum of four was sacked as the face of supermarket chain Iceland last year because of her very public drug scandal, but after a image overhaul the reality TV star is said to be ready to get back to work.

A source close to Kerry told The Daily Star: “Kerry is up at the crack of dawn running up and down the hills outside her new home.

“Then she hits the gym in her house. Getting all the gym equipment into the house was one of her main priorities when she first moved in.

“She’s addicted to exercising. She’s got herself into such a routine with it now that it’s just become a way of life for her. All this talk of surgery and liposuction is rubbish. She’s been down that road before and it only worked for her in the short term.

“This time she’s done it the old- fashioned way and everyone can see the results for themselves.

“She’s never been in such good shape and is slowly getting her confidence back.

“It’s been a slow process but now, with a huge modelling shoot to look forward to, she’s finally getting her career back on track.

“After all the put-downs from Mark she lost a lot of confidence but she’s starting to believe in herself again.

“She can’t believe that the company actually want her as a model.

“It’s given her the boost she needs.”
