Atomic Kitten says goodbye to Kerry |
|
 |
19/1/2001, 9:00pm GMT
It has been officially announced that original
Atomic Kitten member, Kerry Katona will be leaving
the band permanently. This comes in light of
the recent announcements that Kerry is expecting
her first child with Westlife member, Bryan
McFadden. The two also only recently
announced they would be marrying later on in the
year. Originally, the replacement for Katona,
Jenny Frost from Precious was to fulfil a
temporary role in the Kittens but this looks like
becoming a permanent thing. The managament
for Atomic Kitten issued a statement saying:
"Since she decided to leave the band Kerry
has worked closely with us, Liz and Natasha to
find the right person to replace her - a tall
order we know, but we do feel we have found a true
star in Jenny Frost". The statement
continues: "The Kittens team is a very
closely-knit family and we were all thrilled with
the news of Kerry's pregnancy and completely
understand her decision to put the well-being of
her unborn child first". Kerry is set
to leave the band once the 'Whole Again' single
promotion is complete. |

Jenny Frost fills job vacancy |
|
 |
18/1/2001, 9:00pm GMT
In light of a turn of events for Atomic Kitten
member, Kerry Katona, the group have had to find a
replacement member. In NME.com, it was
announced that the likely new member will be Jenny
Frost. Jenny made her first appearance in a
new pop grouping, Precious. Precious went on
to do battle with other European entrants in the
continent's song equivalent of a formula one grand
prix, the 'Eurovision Song Contest' back in
1999. The pop group went on to release
singles and an album but quickly diminished.
Jenny will fulfil a temporary role in the Kitten
formation while Kerry is on maternity leave. |

17/1/2001, 9:00pm GMT
Former Another Level member, Dane Bowers
congratulated Bryan McFadden and Kerry Katona on
the news of their forthcoming new child.
Speaking to Worldpop, Bowers said: "I'm
really good friends with Bryan. He rang me
the other day and told me. I'm over the moon
for them. They're really a great couple
anyway, so good luck to them". On the
subject of good parenting advice for the new
couple, Bowers said: "No, you can't really
give people advice about fatherhood. They're
the things you have to learn yourself.
They'll be great parents though. They get on
really well and I'm sure they'll have a lot of
fun". Bowers, himself has a 4-year old
son called Kai. |

Kerry will marry Bryan from Westlife... |
|
 |
5/1/2001, 10:00am GMT
It's been revealed that Bryan McFadden (pictured
left) from the
all-male pop sensation group, Westlife will be
marrying Kerry from the Kittens. McFadden
announced that he had proposed to Kerry at
Christmas in 1999 in an interview with Hello!
magazine. "It's about time we spoke up
for ourselves" speaks McFadden in response to
his record label's advice to keep things under
wraps. "Everything I plan, everything I
do, revolves around Kerry". Bryan expressed
his desire for Kerry: "Every woman pales in
comparison. Kerry is the girl for
me". Bryan and Kerry first met each
other in mid-1999. It was later in the year
that the two became ever closer. The
marriage is set to happen in Ireland at Donegal's
Doe Castle in July of 2002. They will follow
this up with a £1 million house purchase in
Ireland. Congratulations to Bryan and Kerry! |
