Scummy mum-to-be Kerry's three-hour bender

PREGNANT Kerry Katona sucks hard on a cigarette during a THREE-HOUR drinking session ...regardless of the harm cigs and booze can do to her unborn child.

Kerry, twice Celebrity Mum of the Year, downed FOUR MARTINIS and a slug of VODKA in a pub with pals—despite being 12 weeks into an already troubled fourth pregnancy.

Then she popped to a restaurant over the road for a Chinese meal—and puffed greedily on a ciggie outside in the cold. One surprised drinker said: "Everyone knows Kerry's pregnant so it was a bit of a shock to see her drinking and smoking.

"But she just said, ‘What the hell, a couple can't hurt'.

"She went to the bar and ordered pints for the others and Martini for herself. It was the same round when the others were buying—and she also had a shot of vodka. She knocked it back in one, winced and then wiped her hand across her mouth and put the glass down."

Kerry—who we revealed in June took cocaine during her pregnancy with daughter Heidi—was in Stocks pub in her home town of Warrington, Cheshire, with step-sister Pat Ferrier and two other pals.

Her behaviour is even more shocking after her pregnancy with Heidi was beset by a string of miscarriage scares before the litle girl was born in February.

And the 27-year-old ex-Atomic Kitten star was also rushed into hospital last month—on the day she announced she was pregnant again. At first Kerry—who is married to ex-cabbie Mark Croft, 37, and also has daughters, Molly, six, and Lilly-Sue, four, by her first husband, former Westlife star Brian McFadden—was told she'd lost the baby.

But when she returned later the same day still feeling unwell, doctors discovered its heartbeat.

Stressed

And the TV I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here winner sees nothing wrong with smoking and drinking during pregnancy. She has said: "My doctor said if you're more stressed about not having a cigarette, you're better off having one—the stress harms the baby more."

And this week she admitted she's still on the cigs, claiming to have just one or two a day.

Kerry added: "I'll light up a menthol and have a couple of drags...it's just a habit with my hands."
