The former Atomic Kitten star’s son Max, 10 – the youngest of two children with second husband Mark Croft - was left with a black eye following an altercation with three older boys as he made his way to school on Tuesday morning.

Furious: An unprovoked attack on 10-year old son Max by three older boys resulted in Kerry Katona actively searching for the culprits on the streets close to her family home Speaking to Sun Online, the singer, currently looking for love on the new series of Celebs Go Dating, admitted she turned up at the bullies’ school after Max identified their uniform as identical to the one worn by his older sister Heidi, 12. She said: 'Max was walking to school, like he does every morning, and there were three boys from the local high school in an alley he walks through. 'One of them just turned around and elbowed him in the eye, then they started laughing and ran off. It's absolutely disgusting. It could have been so much worse.' The former Atomic Kitten star’s son was left with a black eye following an altercation with the boys as he made his way to school on Tuesday morning Nasty: Taking to Instagram shortly after returning home on Tuesday, the furious star shared a series of pictures highlighting Max's painful looking bruise Kerry admitted her first instinct as a protective parent was to respond violently, but after calming down resolved to find the boys, show them a picture of Max's injuries and take them back to their parents. She added: 'As a parent the first thing you want to do is rip their f***ing heads off and s*** down their necks. 'That’s what you want to do. No one touches your kid - nobody. I’d take a bullet for my children. But violence doesn't solve violence.' The incident resonated with thrice-married Kerry, who admits she had previously been the victim of domestic violence. Taking to Instagram shortly after returning home on Tuesday, the furious star shared a series of pictures highlighting Max's painful looking black eye. 'Had to come home from work early yesterday as some little s**ts in high school did this to my max!!! He’s only 10!!!!!!!!! do, say what you want about me but when it comes to my kids! I will rip heads off!!!!!!!' she fumed in an accompanying caption. Despite accompanying him to school the following day Kerry revealed he was still traumatised by the incident, resulting in them spending Wednesday climbing trees at Ashdown Forest. The singer later posted snaps of her son enjoying himself at the Sussex landmark, where he was joined by half-sister Dylan-Jorge, the youngest of Kerry's five children. 'My max was still in a little bit of shock this morning and didn’t want to go to school bless him.. not surprising!!' she wrote alongside the images. 'So he stayed home for some mummy cuddles!! Then I took him out to get some fresh air and went for a lovely walk!!! My two little monkeys climbing the trees.'
