I’m a Celebrity winner Kerry Katona has bypassed the waiting list to one of the year’s hottest cars, getting the keys to a Nissan GT-R.
Former Atomic Kitten singer Katona, 28, was photographed with the Japanese supercar at her Cheshire home with husband Mark Croft, despite reports the reality TV star is suffering financial troubles.
The Nissan GT-R – which is capable of 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 192mph – is the latest in a string of sexy cars the couple have owned.
And it’s the rarest of the couple’s purchases yet as the Nissan GT-R doesn’t officially go on sale in the UK until March.
But those desperate to get their hands on the 480bhp GT-R can shun Nissan’s 18-month waiting list and buy an imported model.
It’s unknown how much was paid for the GT-R – which will cost from £56,795 when it’s officially launched – but a quick scour of Auto Trader found seven of the imported Nissan supercars for sale with prices ranging from £57,000 to £68,000.
Since beginning a relationship with former cabbie Croft in 2006, the pair have owned an enviable feast of automotive exotica.
Over the past two-and-a-half years, Katona and Croft are believed to have found homes for a Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari F430, BMW M3, a selection of Porsche 911s, Mercedes CLS, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Audi R8, Ducati superbike and a Ssangyong Rodius.
