There have been loads of reports about me piling on the pounds – but I haven’t put that much weight on!

One magazine said I eat shedloads of takeaways and my weight is really getting me down.

Mark doesn’t want me to, but I’m going to have surgery.

I’m scared about going under the knife but I’m not great with the old exercise routines.

There were more reports this week about Mark and I falling out – we had a small tiff last week, but what couple doesn’t?!

Mark’s been brilliant and has really spoilt me lately – he’s been getting up to feed Max in the night and he took me to the Trafford Centre and treated me to a load of new clothes – he even acted as my stylist!

My girls are in Ireland with Brian so it’s nice for Mark and I to have a bit more time together.

Reality TV star Kerry Katona’s benefits cheat mother had £46,000 in the bank despite claiming she had no income or capital.

Susan Katona, 48, claimed income support for nearly 13 years from November 1994.

The former Atomic Kitten singer’s mother also claimed council tax allowance for her home in Dickenson Street, Warrington, Cheshire.

Mark Lever, prosecuting before magistrates in Runcorn, said Katona, who admitted wrongly claiming the money, was overpaid a total of £6,393.

He said: “Her bank statements show capital at its greatest in excess of £46,000. Mrs Katona failed to notify the DWP and local authority and received benefits to which she was not entitled.”

Katona accrued her money through publishing deals, gifts from her daughter and from Kerry’s autobiography.

Katona’s solicitor, John Morris, told district judge Bridget Knight his client had already repaid £770 council tax and a further £1,000 of income support. The remainder was being paid off at £8 a week, he said.

The mother of reality TV star Kerry Katona is due to be sentenced for wrongly claiming income support and council tax benefit.

Susan Katona, of Dickenson Street, Warrington, Cheshire, was due to be sentenced last month at Runcorn Magistrates Court but sentencing was put back for a pre-sentence report after her solicitor claimed she had a fear of open spaces.

Katona’s solicitor John Morris handed a letter from the 48-year-old’s GP to the bench on June 9 which said his client had symptoms of agoraphobia - a fear of leaving home and of crowded spaces.

Katona failed to notify the Benefits Office of a change of circumstances between July 2006 and March 2007.

It was alleged the overpayment was made because Katona failed to declare her income from media interviews about her daughter, a winner of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Sentencing will be at Runcorn Magistrates Court.

Just thought id say about the site looking slightly different. My host has new rules which means i have had to put new ad codes up. These are the black bar ones at the top of the page and the big one in the side bar. I know the sidebar one looks quite ugly but it cant be helped. I hope people understand.

Also i know that parts of the site arent working in Firefox (gallery, videozone) and in IE the Media Zone doesnt work. Ill try my hardest later on tonight to try and figure out how to fix them. If anyone has any ideas please say!
