Tennis ace helps Kerry shrink her assets


Boob or bust: Kerry Katona

SCOTS tennis ace Elena Baltacha is to serve up lessons to bankrupt star Kerry Katona - in a bid to help the busty celeb shrink her boobs.

I'm A Celebrity winner Kerry will team up with Elena for lawn lessons in a bid to reduce the star's massive 34GG breasts.

World no.133 Elena, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, is currently in America preparing for her US Open clash with Poland's Anna Korzeniak.

But last night singer Kerry revealed she was "really excited" at the prospect of teaming up with the Scot.

She said: "I watched Elena play at Wimbledon and she's great.

"I'm a bit scared but it should be interesting.

"Apparently she's really great fun too so, if anything, at least we will have a laugh."

Busty Kerry, who was once married to ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden, has already started using her local tennis court in her fitness kick.

The mum-of-four, who became queen of the jungle in 2004 after winning TV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, caught the tennis bug after watching this summer's Wimbledon action.

Kerry, 27, added: "Having had four kids and not the best diet, I thought I should take up a sport and tone up a bit.

"I wanted to find a sport that was easy to start at any level and could involve the family.

"Then I started watching the Wimbledon tennis this year and found myself shouting at the TV and willing on people to win. I realised I was hooked.

"The girls love tennis too and it's so much fun.

"We all have a laugh and it's almost better that we aren't very good as it's such a laugh."

Scots star Elena, 25, arrived in the UK as a five year-old in 1989 with her footballer father Sergei, who won 50 caps for the Soviet Union.

The former British number one has enjoyed notable success in her career, which has seen her rake in over £180,000 in prize money.

Elena, whose brother - also Sergei - starred for St Mirren, was unavailable for comment last night but a spokesman for the tennis star said she was "very excited" about working with Kerry.

And Sue Mappin, former British player and head of the Tennis Foundation, added: "Tennis is a game for all ages and it doesn't matter when you start, so to see Kerry and her daughters having a go is just great.

"Mind you, not everyone is lucky enough to get lessons from former British number one Elena Baltacha."
