Kerry Katona revealed how a secret her mother had kept for seven years put strain on their relationship by giving an emotional insight into her troubled childhood.
Kerry Katona, the former Atomic Kitten star, struggled to contain the tears as she revealed a wrenching truth about her early life and her kinship with her parents.
Kerry addressed some of the issues she encountered as a child and the reality that she had no idea what kind of relationship she had with her biological father.
The 44-year-old only met her biological father when she was just six weeks old. Kerry’s mother Sue broke the news to her that she was the subject of an affair when she was seven years old.
She eventually managed to locate her father after years without ever finding him or knowing where he was. By that time, it was too late. Her biological father, Ronnie Armstrong, had been dead for ten years when she finally met her half-siblings.
Kerry broke down on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast because she claimed she would always struggle with keeping the popstar apart from her father.
She said, “She was best my mate (her mother), but the one thing that I’ll struggle with is the fact that she wouldn’t let me meet my dad.”
Kerry relished the chance to reconnect with her long-lost half-siblings despite never developing a relationship with her father.
She described how she first clapped her eyes on them as she described how they had already said they would have “welcomed” her years earlier, when they had spoken.
She had previously stated in the podcast that she had only ever met her father when she was six weeks old. When Gary and his brother Gary saw me when Kerry was six weeks old, he held him.
He said to my mother, “I love you, but he put silver in my hand or something.” And she left, “Don’t stand there and tell me you love me,” and you’re going to bring your wife home.
In the early 2000s, Kerry rose to fame as one of the group’s founding members, the girl group Atomic Kitten.
The band, which included Kerry, Liz McClarnon, and Heidi Range, achieved significant chart success with “Wood Again,” which remained at the top of the UK charts for four straight weeks in 2000.
Kerry left the band four weeks before “Way Again,” but she has since kept her name a secret.
Over the years she has been a familiar face on some of the most popular reality TV shows including the likes of I’m A Celeb, Celebrity Big Brother and Dancing on Ice.
