Last month, Kerry Katona said she wished she could still be friends with her ex, Brian McFadden – but that’s never going to happen according to reports. The Atomic Kitten star, 44, was married to the Westlife singer, 45, for five years before they split in 2004 after welcoming daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue.

Kerry, who was noticeably absent from Brian’s wedding last weekend to Danielle Parkinson, has made a series of jaw-dropping comments about Brian over the years, including calling him a “s**t dad” and the “fat one in Westlife”. And now, the dad-of-three is said to have had enough of her outbursts, with a source claiming Kerry has “burnt her bridges”.

Speaking to The Sun, they said: “Kerry has burnt her bridges with Brian, thanks to years of speaking out of turn. She’s got a heart of gold but a big mouth and that has always been her downfall.

“Kerry has a bad habit of not thinking before she speaks and it’s landed her in hot water with Brian on many occasions. She’ll say something publicly that is either outrageous or something she should have kept private between them and it gets her in trouble.

“There’s been many times her girls have asked her to rein it in when speaking about their dad, they know better than anyone how it gets to him.”

Last month, Kerry lamented the loss of her friendship with Brian, writing in her column for new! magazine: “I wish Brian and I could have stayed friends. Molly went to watch him at a festival last week and I would have loved to have gone with her. It would be great to have a better relationship.”

However, the mum-of-five hasn’t held back when talking about her ex, when she claimed in a podcast in 2023: “He was a s**t dad. I’m the one who provides for them..”

Meanwhile, in her most recent biography, Whole Again, Kerry claimed her daughters didn’t have a great relationship with the Irish star, even suggesting her late third husband George Kay, was more of a father to Molly and Lilly.

“Brian’s their biological dad, but he hasn’t played that all important father figure in their lives growing up,” she wrote, adding, “for all his faults, George was more of a dad to those girls than Brian ever was.”

Brian rarely speaks about Kerry and went to great lengths not to mention her last year’s BBC documentary, Boybands Forever. In a toe-curling exchange, the interviewer asks him on camera: “Marrying Kerry, you’re sort of…” as Brian quickly interjects: “I don’t want to talk about her, no. Definitely no.”

“That really hurt Kerry,” the insider said. “She made jokes about it but privately she was gutted that it was shown on national TV.

“She thinks he’s embarrassed by her and she’s probably not far wrong. But in his defence, she’s not made it easy for him.”

The Mirror has contacted Brian’s rep for comment on this story. Kerry’s rep declined to comment.
