FORMER Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona celebrated her baby joy with a night at the dogs.

Kerry, who is expecting a child with her fiancé Mark Croft, confined herself to orange juice at the 80th anniversary gala night at Belle Vue Stadium.

The Warrington-based 25-year-old is a regular at the historic track, although she admits it's the only place she likes to have a bit of a bet.

She said: "I'm not a big gambler and I'm not into dog racing generally, but I love coming to Belle Vue.

"It's always a great night out, although the dogs I back never seem to do very well. The first dog I backed tonight ended up going backwards."

Kerry was part of a special 80th anniversary presentation on the night, celebrating the track's status as the "cradle of British greyhound racing" along with 82-year-old Dorothy Wood, who was at the track's very first race as a tot and has been a regular ever since.

Dorothy was awarded "Freedom of the Track" by Belle Vue bosses, in recognition of her 80-year commitment.
