KERRY:  Birth of tot to be screened

Kerry Katona tot born on camera

ALL together now, say Aaaahhhh. No, not because a cute baby has been born unto this world, but because his mum is Kerry Katona!

A poor little mite called Max has made it safely into existence despite mum Kerry taking cocaine, boozing and smoking throughout her pregnancy.

Let's all be grateful the tot is blissfully unaware of his circumstances.

For starters, his birth was filmed. And though there's nothing too unusual in that, this one will be BROADCAST on a reality TV show.

Then there's the fact he's been named after Kerry and partner Mark Croft's PR man Max CLIFFORD.

And Max (little Max that is) may well squirm with shame when he's shown how he was born.

For a joyous, tear-jerking scene depicting the priceless moment a new life is brought into the world it ain't.

Viewers of MTV show Crazy In Love on April 28 will see former Atomic Kitten star Kerry going into labour in bed at the couple's Warrington home.

As she announces to former cabbie Mark that her waters have broken, his excitement is such that...he carries on playing a computer game. Classy, eh?

Kerry, now mum of FOUR at 27, says: "I woke up. Mark was on his Xbox and I just lay there watching him for a bit. Then I sat up and went, ‘Ooh, the waters have gone'. How calm was I? Cool as a cucumber."

Then, in a clear reference to Kerry's three previous natural deliveries, Mark, 37, adds: "Truth is she's so used to it. She's had loads of them, hasn't she?" PARTNER: Mark Croft

Max was born on Friday in Macclesfield General Hospital five weeks prematurely weighing 5lbs 4oz. A source on the show told us: "Kerry got that boy out in THREE PUSHES. It was a natural birth and everything seemed to go smoothly. She allowed our cameras there to record it all."

Viewers will see her being handed her baby and saying: "Hello, Mister."

The News of the World revealed how Kerry, now famous for her cheesy Iceland TV ads, took cocaine throughout her pregnancy, telling a pal: "It's OK, you can wean the baby off the coke afterwards."

She also drank wine and smoked 20 cigarettes a day.

So good luck Max (the baby, not the PR). You'll need it, son.
