Kerry Katona is “over the moon” that her ex-husband, Brian McFadden, is to be a father again.

The former Westlife singer announced last week that his fiancée Danielle Parkinson is pregnant and his first wife – the mother of his daughters Molly, 19, and Lilly, 17 – couldn’t be happier for the couple, particularly because they’ve had to endure fertility treatment and gone through two miscarriages.
Kerry said: “I’m absolutely over the moon for my ex Brian and his fiancée Danielle after announcing their lovely baby news.
“They’ve really struggled over the years.
“I absolutely adore Danielle – she’s going to make a wonderful mum. She’s a great stepmother to Molly and Lilly.”
The 40-year-old singer – who has three other children from previous relationships – even sent the couple a baby gift to congratulate them.
She added in her column for new! magazine: “I bought them a baby grow and Brian sent me a picture of it on his head to say thank you.
“When you have a baby with someone you love, it’s always a wonderful thing.”
Brian recently admitted he thinks the new baby – who is due in May - will bring him even closer to his teenage daughters.
He said: "Obviously Molly lives in Dublin now, so we don’t see her as much as we’d like to, but we’re happy now that Lilly’s with us as we get to see her a lot more. They’re very maternal and I can’t wait for them to be part of our family life as well. It’s going to be good. They’re excited. They’ve been with us since the beginning of the IVF, so they’ve gone through all the highs and lows.
"They’ve been very supportive. And they’re not kids any more. Molly’s 19 and Lilly’s turning 18 in February. They’ve been through this before – they’ve pretty much helped to raise their brother and sisters at home. Both of them were pretty much in tears when they saw the scan, because they’ve been on the roller coaster with us."
