She is starring in the online mega-panto Once Upon A Pantomime as the wicked queen Karona.
And Kerry Katona took to Instagram on Thursday to share some behind-the-scenes shots of herself in character.
The mother-of-five, 40, looked almost unrecognisable as she donned a black wig and gothic make-up to transform into her wicked queen role.

Kerry put on a very busty display as she wore a plunging black corset dress adorned with gold detailing and chiffon puffed skirt.
Clutching a matching wand, the former Atomic Kitten star posed for a collection of smouldering snaps as she got into character.
Kerry donned a cropped black wig with Maleficent-inspired headgear and added a slick of gothic make-up.
Poking fun at her role in the panto, she captioned the snaps with: ‘Hey your tickets now to watch me in @abpltd playing “kerry karona”,’ followed by crying laugh emojis.

The online panto plot, which is available to stream throughout December, will see Kerry’s character, wicked queen Karona, curse a spell on Christmas and vow to be the queen of pantoland after she is not invited to take part.
Kerry appeared to be recycling her costume from 2019 as she wore the same ensemble for her role as wicked witch Carabosse in Ilford’s pantomime Sleeping Beauty.
It comes after Chris Tarrant slammed Kerry, recalling how he met her once at an event in Marbella, Spain.
Chris, 73, reportedly called the Atomic Kitten singer, 40, ‘gobby, loud, rude and brassy’ as reported by Kerry herself.

And ex-Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host Chris didn’t hold back from affirming this to The Mirror earlier this week.
‘I do remember [meeting Kerry]. She was upsetting everybody,’ he recalled. ‘I think you can imagine. Oh gosh, a monster.
‘She was just all over the place, we were trying to do charity stuff and she kept butting in and eventually I probably did say, “Why don’t you go away?”‘
Kerry hit back on Instagram, sharing Chris’ comments and captioning her post: ‘Wow! Honestly I was soooo excited about meeting Mr Chris Tarrant!

‘I remember going up to him at a golfing event in Marbella, and he said “why are you so gobby and common” amongst other things!
‘Honestly on my children’s lives he was really unpleasant so much so I went to the bathroom and cried! As for calling me a monster, well!!!
‘I know I’m loud, I know I’m not the most well spoken person, I know I’m not as well educated as Mr Tarrant! But to call me a monster!!!
‘And I know I DID NOT upset anyone! I had a lovely time that evening! Please bare in mind that this was 10 years ago! So I’m not too sure why he’s doing a interview about it now!

‘Anyway… want to send you some love and cheer at this time of year Chris!!! Love your little monster [sic].’
Kerry has also written about the incident in her column in New! magazine.
She wrote: ‘I went up to him to say hello and he told me – to my face – he didn’t like me, that I was gobby, loud, rude and brassy. What? I was so disappointed. I went to the toilet and bawled my eyes out.
‘A couple of years ago, he did an interview where he said he wouldn’t do a reality show as he didn’t “want to be stuck on an island with Kerry Katona”.

‘I have no idea what I did to him but he must have had it in his head that I’m a vile person. It’s a shame as I loved watching him on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? I grew up idolising him and my heart sinks even now thinking about it.’
Kerry will no doubt be celebrating this Christmas after her boyfriend Ryan Mahoney proposed to her during a Spanish holiday in August with the blessing of her five children – Molly, 19, Lilly-Sue, 17, Heidi, 13, Maxwell, 12, and Dylan-Jorge, six.
Kerry was previously married to Brian McFadden, 40, Mark Croft, 49, and the late George Kay.
