Kerry Katona, 43, reveals she's bought  daughter Molly, 23, a tattoo gun for her birthday after they reunited for the first time in a year

Kerry Katona has revealed she bought her daughter Molly a tattoo gun for her 23rd birthday after they reunited for the first time in a year.

The former Atomic Kitten, 43, revealed in her column for New! Magazine that she was excited about her daughter's special day.

She explained that she would be finally fulfilling Molly's wish and would be giving her her very own tattoo gun.

And the media star even said wants a permanent inking from her daughter, even if it's just a 'simple squiggle.' 

In her column she wrote: 'My Molly turned 23 over the weekend – I can't believe how fast time is passing. Ryan and I spoiled her.'

'She's been asking for a tattoo gun for a while so we got her one and I'm going to let her tattoo me. I think it will be so special to have a tattoo done by my daughter on me forever.'

Tattoo artists must be aged over 18 and registered with a local council - if a business does not hold a valid licence they can be fined up to £1,000.

Kerry shares her daughter with her ex husband Brian McFadden who she was married to from 2002–2006.

The I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here contestant's surprising gift comes after the star revealed she hadn't seen her daughter in a year.

Molly lives in Ireland - her father's home country - where she attends drama school but she was reunited with her mother during a trip back to the UK.

Kerry also shares daughter Lilly, 20, - who also lives in Dublin - with Brian as well as Heidi, 17, and Max, 15, with her first ex husband Mark Croft and eight-year-old DJ from her relationship with the late George Kay.

Writing in a recent OK! column, Kerry said: 'Lilly and Molly are both coming home this week from Ireland for a visit and I can't wait to have them back.

Speaking about her family, Kerry and Abbey Clancy were both left in tears after the singer opened up about her tragic childhood and why she got her daughters' names tattooed on her wrists.

The star was overcome with emotion as she admitted her biggest fear is her children feeling 'unloved' as that is how she felt growing up.

Kerry's mother Sue was manic-depressive and speaking to Abbey on her podcast Exhibit A, she confessed her earliest memory is watching her mother slit her wrists when she was just three years old.

She confessed: 'I think my biggest thing was always feeling not good enough because you know when you watch your mum trying to kill herself and you're like "am I not good enough for you want to be here?"

'So I was pretty f****d up before I became famous anyway'.

Revealing her biggest fear, she continued: 'I remember sitting in rehab and I couldn't believe I let myself get so low and I kept thinking if this is in my DNA and if it is a genetic thing and I thought the one thing I never want my kids to feel is unloved and not wanted by me, because that is how I felt.

'I thought if this is [self-harming] something that I might end up doing, so I got Molly and Lily tattooed on my wrist because I thought I'd be so selfish to put my kids through that.

'No matter what's going on in my life I want my my kids to know I love them so much and I'm never going to leave them.'

Breaking down in tears as Kerry recounted her difficult childhood, Abbey added: 'I do feel it's unfair knowing your tragic start to life, the most unimaginable things you know it sounds like a film.

'It's like unbelievable. No one ever praises you because I think it's a success story.

'Oh massively,' replied Kerry, 'and you know I have said there was no role model for me.

'I've always been a grafter and I think if I didn't have my kids I don't think I'd be here today. I don't think I'd have got through it especially the after after Brian left me.'
