Kerry Katona left hospital last night after recovering from a frightening pregnancy scare.

The Crazy in Love star was admitted to Maccesfield General on Tuesday after a midwife became concerned that she had contracted the potentially fatal condition, pre-eclampsia.

But medics discovered the 27-year-old had water retention and she was released from hospital last night.

Kerry Katona is led home by husband Mark Croft on Thursday evening after a pregnancy scare saw her treated in hospital for two nights

The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here winner held husband Mark Croft's hand as she left wearing a comfy jumper, tracksuit trousers and baseball cap.

And although the sweater bore the Ducati emblem of her husband's £12,000 motorbike, which she is said to have gifted him earlier this year, luckily Kerry did not have to ride pillion home.
