London, Aug 26 : Drug-scandal hit Kerry Katona may soon have to undergo reconstructive surgery for her drug- ridden nose, it has emerged.

Coke sprees have left a hole in the former Atomic Kitten''s septum, the dividing wall between the two nostrils.

The Daily Star quoted a pal as saying: "Kerry is determined not to dabble ever again.

"She knows how close she has come to losing everything and isn''t going to take any more chances.

"She reckons if she pays for an op to rebuild her nose it will act as an incentive never to be tempted again."

Kerry''s stepsister Pat Ferrier said the reality TV star was so addicted to cocaine that she had snorted up of 250 pounds of the drug in a day.

Pat said she had once seen Katona pull out a cartilage lump from her nose with a pair of tweezers.

She said: "It looked like when you get the fat off bacon.

"She told me rotting black stuff builds up inside and she has to dig it out every few weeks. But it didn''t stop her taking drugs.''''

"Her nose is caving in. She needs to get help or she''ll die," she added. (ANI)
