Kerry Katona praised as she strips off to her underwear for workout with ‘no filters’

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona championed body positivity on Friday as she shared a workout video of herself in nothing but her underwear to champion seeing real bodies without filters.

The 42 year old star took to Instagram to document her workout, which featured the star performing a series of moves including leg raises, stretches and sit ups, in nothing but a black sports bra and knickers.

Ditching social media filters to show herself in all her natural glory, Kerry also accompanied the short video clip with an explanation about why she was exercising without her usual gym wear.

“WARNING Avert your eyes now!” the star began her post with a tongue in cheek warning.

She then continued: “Yes that’s right no f@@king filters!! I know it’s not a pretty sight but it’s real!!!”

Kerry then went on to explain that she had been following the Francis Diet and part of the accompanying fitness plan meant that the star needed to workout, however in an accidental mix up, she had forgotten to take her gym kit with her to her mums.

The former queen of the I’m a Celebrity jungle then explained: “Stayed at my mums last night and forgot to pack my gym wear!! NO EXCUSES Get your s**t done! Even if it does mean scaring the postman in morning when he peeps in through the window!!!!”

Clearly proud of her accomplishment, Kerry then added: “Even without my gym gear I did @mfitofficial workout! I have complete faith in the process!!”

Despite her success, the workout wasn’t without some drawbacks, as Kerry bravely revealed that exposing herself like that had been an “extremely vulnerable” experience.

“Dear god!!!! Not gonna lie. I feel extremely vulnerable by posting that video, but I’m also sick of all these bloody filters,” she concluded finally.

Immediately after the video was shared, fans rushed to Kerry’s post to praise the star for her authenticity and for normalising how brilliant our bodies can be, without the need for constant editing or filters.

“We need more of this on line! For our children to see real life,” wrote one fan.

A second then added: “Kerry fair play to you it’s a real body how a lot of us look like … lots of love..xx”

Before a third commented: “Real over filters anyday! Makes the rest of us show and feel we are actually ‘normal’ just the way we are x”

It wasn’t just fans praising Kerry either, as the Great British Bake Off ’s Lottie Bellow also got in on the act as she wrote: “Mate don’t put yourself down, I’d do you! Xx”

While Ulrika Jonsson reminded Kerry: “You have a beautiful body, my friend.”
