The 30-year-old star Kerry Katona displayed the new style as she popped to the local shops in Warrington, Cheshire, yesterday.

Wearing a printed vest top and slightly odd stonewashed jeans, Kerry highlighted her incredibly slim new figure in the summery outfit as she smiled for photographers.

And a fringe wasn't the only addition that Kerry showed off on her trip out.

The low back of her navy vest top displayed the mother-of-four's new phoenix tattoo - a huge inking she had to cover the tattoo of her ex-husband Mark Croft's name which was previously on her upper back.

Speaking recently about the new etching, Kerry said: 'It's a massive phoenix with wings and flames on it.

'It took 4 hours and it hurt so much that it's still not finished!

'The phoenix stands for rising from the ashes, new beginnings and change, which is exactly what I want right now!

'Mark has finally gone and this is a new beginning for me.'

And while the tattoo couldn't be seen in its entirety, it was clear the inking is noticeably larger than the previous inking.

Despite the painful new addition to her already large range of tattoos, Kerry couldn't stop smiling as she enjoyed the warm weather in Warrington.

Kerry's cheerful attitude could be down to the new man in her life, alleged to be music industry professional Carl Machin.

Machin, who has worked as Peter Andre's tour manager for the past four years, was spotted holding hands with Kerry as she stepped out in Surrey last week.

A source told the Sunday People: 'Kerry's really happy at the moment and having Carl back in her life has helped.

'It's really lovely to see how well Kerry and Carl are getting along.

'They first met as far back as 1999 when Carl helped to organise gigs for her then up-and-coming girl band Atomic Kitten.

'Carl is the perfect sort of guy for Kerry to have in her life again now, though. He knows the showbiz world through and through.

'He's quite successful in his own right and just an all round nice bloke.'
