Kerry Katona, the former member of the girl group Atomic Kitten, has expressed her feelings of sadness regarding her exclusion from the group's recent reunion plans. Known for her rise to fame in the late 1990s alongside Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton, Katona felt a sense of loss as she reflected on her days in the popular band, especially since she left just before their breakout hit 'Whole Again'. Although she temporarily rejoined Atomic Kitten for a televised reunion in 2013, she has not been a part of their reunions since then.

The girl group has continued to perform and make appearances without her, which has weighed on Katona, who believes it would be a positive change if there was an opportunity for her to participate again. She reminisced about her time with the group, noting that she lacks the shared experiences with her former bandmates that often come with fame and nostalgia. Her comments highlight the emotional complexities involved in being part of a once-successful musical act and the impact of being left out from future endeavors.

Katona's sentiments are particularly poignant given her history with the band and the public's fondness for Atomic Kitten's music from the late 90s and early 2000s. As the reunion news unfolds, her wishes for inclusion serve as a reminder of the often-challenging dynamics in musical groups and the personal feelings that can arise from nostalgia and change in relationships.
