Early Life
Born in Warrington, Cheshire, Katona was brought up partly by her mother, Sue Katona, and partly by her stepfather, foster grandmother and others. Katona is of part Hungarian ancestry. As a young girl, she was placed in care and brought up by four sets of foster parents. During that time, she attended eight different schools.
She left school at age sixteen to become a lap dancer. She then joined a dance troupe that toured Europe. She attempted to become a glamour model in her teens and posed for nude photographs. In 2001, some of these photographs resurfaced and were published in Britain by tabloid newspaper The Sunday Sport.
