This week, heat goes backstage at the Big Reunion rehearsals and brings you all the gossip.
While we were there, we couldn’t resist a girly chat with Atomic
Kitten about how they’re looking forward to getting back into stage
outfits almost a decade on and (in the case of Kerry Katona and Natasha Hamilton) several babies later.
“Look at Tash!” exclaimed Kerry. “She looks better now than she did
in the day. She’s got a waist like my left leg! The pair of them have!”
“I work at it!” Natasha replied. “Not that I’m more conscious, but
when I was a kid I didn’t have to do anything – I just rocked up on
stage whereas now, in order to feel confident on stage in how I’m
looking and what I’m wearing, I do have to work hard. I have to go the
gym.
“It doesn’t come easy. A lot of hard work goes into trying to stay
trim and fit for the show. But also for life in general. I’ve got three
boys that are very energetic and demanding, so running after them keeps
me on my toes and fit.”
For her part, Kerry is happier with her body now than she was in 2000, when the band first got together.
“Back in the day I was size 6, about seven and a half stone wet
through. Now I’m a size ten, nine and a half stone, but that is not
overweight at all and I certainly wouldn’t want to be one of those
popstars who promotes skinniness to be successful.
“That’s not the case. Not everybody reads magazines can look like
everybody in magazines. I know I get airbrushed, otherwise I wouldn’t be
in the magazine! I’ve had four kids, I’m a healthy size 10. I’m happy!
I’ve got a few lumps and bumps in the right places. I think everyone
wants to be a bit skinnier, but nothing that I’m conscious over.
“We’re women now and a lot of our audiences are going to be women who’ve had babies.
“When I watch back and they show a clip of me in a bikini I think I
look too skinny! When I first joined the band I was 6 and a half stone,
but because I had big tits and a good arse, I got away with it. SO even
when I put weight on now, it goes on me boobs and me arse, which is not
a bad thing.”
Rounding on bandmate Liz McLarnon, Natasha added: “You can eat what
you want and can’t put anything on. She doesn’t go the gym and will sit
there eating crisps, anything!”
