Larking about: Kerry Katona shared a hilarious impression of The Tiger King star Carole Baskin on Wednesday as she passed the time during the coronavirus lockdown
In the funny video Kerry did a hilarious impression of Carole’s Southern accent, as she donned the dramatic look to impersonate the blonde star.
Kerry then referenced the series’ reveal that Carole’s husband Jack ‘Don’ Lewis disappeared 23 years ago, and despite being declared dead a body has never been found.
This led to Carole being accused of her husband’s murder by rival animal owner Joe Exotic, though she has always protested her innocence.

In the video Kerry said: ‘Hello all you big cats and kittens, it’s Carole Baskin here, I did not murder my husband, hope you enjoy your cage Joe Exotic.’
This was in reference to the series’ revelation that Joe was sentenced to 22 years behind bars after paying a hitman to kill rival Carole, who owns Big Cat Sanctuary.
Kerry captioned her post: ‘I’ve really lost it!!!!!!!! Free the Tiger King.’
The star has been keeping herself occupied after entering isolation during the coronavirus outbreak.

On Monday the star openly shared her fears that she may have contract COVID-19 after suffering from a ‘dry cough and a sore throat.’
In her new! magazine column, the media personality shared: ‘As I write this, I’ve got some symptoms too. I’ve got a dry cough and sore throat, and I feel weak and dizzy sometimes, so we are isolating ourselves for as long as we need to.’
The former Atomic Kitten singer said she and her daughter Molly, 18, have yet to be tested, but was left ‘frightened’ when a health specialist came to their house in ‘head to toe in scrubs and a mask’.
She explained: ‘We haven’t been tested, but the doctor says we need to be cautious, so no one’s leaving this house for the foreseeable.’
On Thursday, specialist nose and throat doctors began urging the Government to recognise a lost sense of taste or smell as a tell-tale coronavirus symptom.

ENT UK, which represents ear, nose and throat experts around the country, said there is evidence a ‘significant’ number of patients suffer these effects.
Currently, the only symptoms the NHS lists as ones which make coronavirus likely are a recurring cough or a fever or high temperature.
Other less often reported symptoms include headaches, sickness, diarrhoea and a blocked nose, according to World Health Organization data.
