Kerry Katona has criticised former Emmerdale actress Sammy Winward over her two-year rift with daughter Mia, who recently announced she is pregnant. The fallout began in August 2024 when Mia joined adult site OnlyFans, leading her parents, Winward and ex-footballer David Dunn, to cut contact.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, Katona, who also runs an OnlyFans account, said: 'I don’t think you should fallout with your child because they’re doing OnlyFans, life is too short. Everyone is doing OnlyFans and she’s not breaking the law. If one of my children were to do OnlyFans I’d be devastated but I’d never not talk to them.'
Katona also pointed out a contradiction, noting that Winward herself posed for FHM during her Emmerdale days and was voted number 73 on FHM's list of top 100 Sexiest Women in the World in 2006. 'All the Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks actresses all did sexy photoshoots at one point for FHM so there’s not much difference in that,' she added.
Mia, who has since left OnlyFans upon learning she was pregnant, revealed she has not yet shared her baby news with her parents. 'I haven’t reached out to them yet and they don’t really know how to contact me. I am emotionally vulnerable while I’m pregnant and I really don’t want a big, stressful situation,' she told The Sun.
Mia now lives a low-key life in the Lake District with her partner of a year, whose name she has chosen not to disclose. Despite the rift, she expressed hope for reconciliation, saying: 'Now that I have my own baby inside me, I just couldn’t imagine not speaking to my child.'
