KERRY Katona made an appeal to fans on Instagram last night after a car full of Christmas presents was stolen from a shopping centre in Oldham.

The Atomic Kitten star, who is starring in the pantomime Sleeping Beauty at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, was at Elk Mill Shopping Park in Royton.

According to the mother-of-five, she was leaving the shopping centre with daughters DJ and Heidi when she saw her blue Range Rover with a personalised registration – KA17 ONA – start up and take off with two men inside.

She ran after the two men, who she called 'absolute b*******', but was unable to catch them.

In a video on Instagram after the incident, she said: "So you know, my car's just been stolen.

"If anybody sees it, please ring the police. It's got all the Christmas presents in the back. It's got a Louis Vuitton bag in the back, it's got iPads in the back."

And in a later video, also on Instagram, Katona told fans she was 'absolutely fine', but 'violated'.

She added the incident was all caught on CCTV.

She said: "Me and the children are absolutely fine.

"I've been targeted. I feel violated. I just want to go home."

The Oldham Times has asked Greater Manchester Police for a comment.
