Kerry Katona has signed a £500,000 deal to launch a new online bingo site.

The 'I'm a Celebrity...' star has reportedly agreed to be the face of Bingos.co.uk, a website for fans of the game.

The 24-year-old former Atomic Kitten says she's thrilled to have been selected to launch the site, which allows players to chat with friends while competing for cash prizes.

The brunette star will also host live chat room sessions on the site.

Kerry, who has two children with ex-husband Brian McFadden, said: "To be chosen for this is fantastic. Growing up in Warrington, everyone played bingo and I have always loved the game.

"Even with my hectic lifestyle I can log on and catch up on the latest gossip with my friends while playing bingo!"

The website's Dominic Mansour said: "Kerry is the natural choice to become the face of Bingos.co.uk.

"She embodies the excitement, fun and community spirit."
