Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden rushed to their individual social media accounts yesterday to wish their daughter Lilly a happy birthday as she turned 18.
The pair, who were married for three years, called it quits on their marriage many moons ago but before they did they brought into the world their daughter Lilly.
Former Westlife singer Brian took to his Instagram account to share a heartwarming and loving birthday message and tribute to his teen daughter, who he had while married to Kerry.
The star wrote: “My little girl is 18 today.
“I say little girl but she’s actually grown into a beautiful, intelligent and strong minded woman.”

Brian continued: “Why do our babies have to grow up so fast?!
“I love you Lilly. Happy Birthday my darling xx.”
Alongside the tribute, Brian tagged his daughters new Instagram account and shared a number of adorable photos of Lilly throughout the years.
Kerry, who also shares 19-year-old daughter Molly with Brain, also took to her Instagram to share her message.

The 40-year-old mother-of-five simply wrote: “Happy 18th Lilly.”
Fans rushed to comment on the snap to say how similar they look, with one writing: “Your mini me.”
Another agreed: “Both stunning,” while a third said: “She’s the image of you.”
Lilly herself now has just over 50,000 people following her including Katie Price and Peter Andre’s child, Princess.
She also shares images promoting 39-year-old Celebrity Big Brother star Calum Best’s business Aura.
On Lilly’s Instagram she often shares snaps of her outfit of the day.

It comes after Kerry made the confession that she has to lock her door to stop her kids from interrupting romps.
Kerry said she does it to ensure she is able to get some alone time with her fiancé Ryan Mahoney.
She explained that she had reached the decision to have the lock fitted after her youngest Dylan-Jorge (DJ) had been sleeping in her bed following the death of her father and Kerry’s former husband George Kay in 2019.
One year on from his passing, The Atomic Kitten star came up with a tactical plan to lure her daughter back into her own bedroom, giving her and Ryan some needed privacy.
The mother-of-five plotted with DJ that they would make her room “really special” so that she would go back to sleeping on her own – with the cunning plan seemingly working a treat.
Speaking on the Hot Mess Mums podcast, she said: “On DJ my youngest, she lost her dad last year unfortunately, so she always wants to get into bed with us.
“So instead I made her room really special, and then had to put a lock on my door, and then when they ask me to leave the door open I have to say, ‘If I leave that open you’ll hear me having sex!'”
