In an interview, Kerry Katona, who recently appeared in a new BBC documentary series, Girlbands Forever, said she merely wanted to entertain and “inspire” people.
Kerry Katona has opened up about how there were “so many skeletons” in her closet and how she “just wanted to get away from it all” in a candid chat about her life. In a recent interview, the former Atomic Kitten star was probed about what she meant by a statement she made in a new BBC documentary series, Girlbands Forever, that fame is a “really f****d up thing”.
Kerry, who’s been touring with long-time friend Katie Price, reiterated her point that “it is”, as she described how she’d simply wanted to entertain, “make people happy”, and “inspire”.
The 45-year-old I’m A Celeb winner also claimed that people believe you’re “mega rich” when you become famous, but she suggested that this wasn’t the case for her, noting that it’s a “really lonely world”.
Kerry told the Observer: “They said we got a £1.5m record deal – well, I walked away with 36 grand in my bank. I didn’t get any of that kind of money! It’s a really lonely world.”
She continued, “I started dating Brian (McFadden), then there were so many skeletons in my closet: being in foster homes, working in the glamour modeling, and my mother’s sexuality. That kind of attention didn’t appeal to me.
I simply wanted to get away from it all when I had Molly’s pregnancy. I received a No 1 award, and I’m forever grateful for that, but I had no idea how to handle it. I had a suicidal idea. I turned to drugs.
The new three-part show, which delves into the world of girl bands from the 90s to the 2010s, reportedly explores the challenges faced by these legendary groups.
In other news, Kerry, who is currently dating Paolo Margaglione (whom she met on Celebs Go Dating), recently addressed some fake pregnancy news in her column for New Magazine, revealing that it was created by AI.
Paolo and I suffered from AI last week when someone created a ridiculous fake pregnancy reveal photo of us holding a baby scan.
“I actually had high hopes after seeing it!” Despite the jokes, I believe it’s a little too insensitive to make those things. I’m a 45-year-old woman who would genuinely like to have a second child, but I’m not sure if it will happen.
She added that AI “in that sense” is “getting out of hand”, adding that she would have loved the picture to have been real and will continue to hope that it “does happen”, but at present, she’s “definitely not pregnant”.
Kerry has also stated that she hopes the new relationship “works,” but that she will “never forget this feeling.”
