The saga of Kerry "Chipshop" Katona's current pregnancy continues, with a charity weighing into the hoo haa regarding her mother-to-be activities (that is, drinking, smoking, and possibly taking drugs).

The UK's Foundation for the Study of Infant Death has advised that Katona would be wise to give up the fags if she's keen on having a trouble-free pregnancy and healthy baby.

Not to cast aspersions on the fine people's advice, but, well, duuhh.

FSID Director Joyce Epstein said: "When we heard that Kerry Katona is pregnant and struggling to quit smoking, we wanted to offer our support.

"Many women who smoke find it difficult to quit, but it's important that they know the harm it can cause as an incentive for giving up. As Kerry has won mother of the year more than once, she has the opportunity to show that it can be done, and set an example for mothers in the same position."

Whether or not Katona actually listens to their advice is another thing, obviously.

Given her exemplary behaviour as an expectant mother so far during this pregnancy, she's just as likely to be seen pushing a bag of potatoes around in a stroller while asking strangers, "Isn't my baby beautiful?" and then going into post-traumatic shock when she actually gives birth (which will likely happen at an Absolut-sponsored vodka drinking contest), because she thought babies came out of your nose.
