As she held out the stray bit of nostril in her outstretched hand, fallen Atomic Kitten pop idol Kerry confessed: "I've got a hole in the nose 'cos of the coke. This has just come out."
The reality TV star's stepsister and closest confidante Pat Ferrier was right there and was shocked by what she saw and heard.
CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO INTERVIEW ABOUT KERRY'S DOWNFALL
In a searingly frank exclusive interview with the News of the World, Pat today breaks years of silence to reveal the full inside story of tragic Kerry's downfall.
She recalled: "We were in America for our dad's funeral last year when the hole first started to develop. Kerry was in the bathroom for ages. I'd seen her take the tweezers in and I said, 'What you doing?'
"She said, 'I'll be out in a minute.' Then in her hand she's got this thing that she dragged out of this hole in her nose. It looked like when you get the fat off bacon. I've got a strong stomach but that was almost too much."
READ: KERRY - I'LL LOSE MY KIDS
Pat spoke out after our video revelations last Sunday of Kerry, 28, sniffing up lines of cocaine at her home in Wilmslow, Cheshire. To escape the furore the mum-of four fled to Tenerife as supermarket Iceland axed her £250,000-a-year contract and police arrived to quiz her.
But Pat, who hopes her shocking revelations will force Kerry to see sense and check into rehab, told how the star:
Last night, with Kerry and the family back in Britain, worried Pat insisted: "Kerry's life is out of control now. She IS a drug addict. Her nose IS caving in - I've seen it with my own eyes. She needs to get help or she'll DIE.
"If she doesn't change her ways and keeps on going like this she'll be dead before she's 30. She'll kill herself.
"And I've told her that. Shockingly, Kerry agreed with me. She just turned around and said, 'I'm going to tell you something Pat. My mum will outlive me. I'll die young.' "
Pat was Kerry's housekeeper until March this year and a regular fixture in her MTV reality series. The I'm A Celebrity jungle queen considered her stepsister to be the one person she could confide in.
Pat even helped raise three-year-old Kerry when her mum Sue - now 49 - married Pat's dad Arnie.
"Kerry's always been a part of my life," said Pat. "We've considered each other to be sisters and best friends.
"We used to talk about everything. I love her so much and it's too upsetting to see what she's become."
The telltale hole in Kerry's nose is not yet as bad as the cocaine damage infamously suffered by ex-EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook, whose septum - the dividing wall between the nostrils - was almost completely eroded.
But stepsister Pat revealed: "The hole has got bigger and has penetrated through to the other side. Kerry can put the end of her glasses into it.
"She's shown it to people. And it makes this funny whistling sound when she breathes through her nose.

"Kerry told me that when she sniffs up she gets it. I heard it. It's a very low whistle, as if your nose is blocked and you're just getting some air through."
The star's heavy drug habit has continued to take a toll on her health.
Pat recalled how one snorting session backfired so badly she had to seek medical help. She said: "Kerry saw a doctor at the end of June because she was complaining how she'd BURNED the back of her throat.
"She tried to say it was down to the problems she has with her nose and throat but we weren't born yesterday. It was because she'd taken too much cocaine. Kerry sees herself having a tragic early death like movie star Marilyn Monroe. But that's just her trying to glamorise it.
"Marilyn was one of the most famous women in the world and Kerry's hardly in her league.
"If Kerry dies because of her drug addiction it will be a tragedy because she's got so many reasons to live, like her children for starters. She should be concentrating on living, not thinking about her death - because she WON'T be remembered in the same iconic way as Marilyn."
Pat insists the News of the World's front-page story and bombshell video was the warning that Kerry so badly needs.
"I hope this is the wake-up call to straighten herself out," she added.
"But my fear is that with Mark her husband alongside she won't realise she needs to change until it's too late. The way she's going she'll either wind up dead or in a psychiatric ward.
"She'd be better off making a clean start in a small house with just her and the kids - but with Mark pulling the strings that won't happen.
"The important thing now is that she can never again deny her drug use.
"She's lied and denied for years, insisting she's clean, but in a few years her kids will be able to use the internet for themselves and the first thing they'll do is look up their mum. And that video will be staring them in the face.
"Kerry can't get away from that. It's fact. But it would be great if, when that day arrives, she HAS been off the drugs and can tell them this video was the turning point in her life.
"It could almost be a source of pride. But what if she can't? What if she's still a drug-taking mess? How are they going to feel?
"They're going to think that their mother didn't love them enough to quit drugs even when she was exposed in a national newspaper. They'll feel let down and betrayed.
"And how will they feel if she's dead by that point?
"Kerry's got a massive responsibility on her shoulders. She really needs to quit drugs now for herself and also for the sake of her children before it's too late."
As sister, housekeeper and closest friend, Pat has watched in horror many times as Kerry took cocaine in that same en suite bathroom captured on our video - which can be seen her along with excerpts from Pat's interview.
"When I was with her she'd have lines off the end of the bath," said Pat. She always used a rolled-up £10 or £20 note and you can tell how expert she is by the speed she hoovered it up on the video.
"Often she'd leave the note tossed next to the drugs ready for when she popped in for her next line. The video shows her turning on the way out and that's where the mirror is over the sink.
"It's obvious she's checking that the drug isn't all over her face before she goes back into the main part of the house.
"I've seen her take drugs in front of that mirror. There's a small tiled shelf above the sink and she used to lean over there and sniff cocaine.
"It was handy to check her appearance.
"Her en suite is her own little drugs den. Guests were never allowed in there because there'd always be the signs of drug use.
"She spent more time bent OVER the bath then she ever spent IN it. I was the only one she'd let in there and I'd always have to clean up the traces of cocaine."
Pat, 51, has watched horrified as Kerry became a slave to cocaine.
She blames husband Mark Croft, 39, for encouraging drug use, leading Kerry into horrific binges to cope with troubles in their marriage.
Pat explained: "When they're having problems Kerry has lines of cocaine lined up and ready to go for hours on end.
"She'll do one, then go back and do another one, then another. She'll have a line every ten minutes." And, as our video story last week proved, if she IS on a binge even having her children - Molly, seven, Lilly Sue, six, Heidi, two, and one-year-old Max - in the house won't stop her.
Pat recalled: "I used to have to say to her, 'Kerry, hide the drugs! The girls will be home from school in a bit.' But she wouldn't stop doing it just because they were home.
"She'd lock the bedroom door so they wouldn't catch her. After snorting a line she'd go out to pacify them briefly and then it was back into the bathroom to do another line.
"She'd do that again and again until her supply was all gone. She'd never be able to leave any untouched. She's a complete addict."
Sadly Kerry's two eldest children already know she's no normal parent, despite twice being voted Celebrity Mum of the Year.
Pat revealed: "Sometimes they say things like 'Mummy's not well today' when she's on one of her benders. And Lilly said recently, 'Well, Mum and Mark are always in their bedroom.' "
Until our story last week Kerry always claimed she'd been clean of drugs since she recovered from her split with first husband Brian McFadden in 2004. But it was a lie.
And things got worse when she met Mark in January, 2006. He was a heavy cocaine user himself and Kerry's mum Sue named him in the News of the World as her daughter's dealer. He has never challenged this.
Pat revealed that Kerry began bingeing more heavily in June last year following the death of stepdad Arnie. She said: "At one point Kerry and Mark had been in the bedroom non-stop for three days.
"Then Mark finally went out and I could get in. When I saw Kerry I felt sick. She was writhing around on her bed like that girl from The Exorcist movie.
"I've never seen anything like it - flat on her stomach with arms and legs thrashing about.
"I knew there was something seriously wrong and she was mixing cocaine with her anti-depressants by this point.
"When she's on a bender Kerry doesn't do anything except drink and take drugs. There'd be clothes everywhere, dirty dishes and cups, empty beer and wine bottles.
"And the house smelt because Kerry chain smokes. I told her she should clean up after herself, but she just laughed. She's disgraceful.
"Downstairs was always filthy, the kids' rooms were a mess. She doesn't shower for days when she's on a bender, she doesn't even put a comb through her hair."
Pat said Kerry's habit got even worse when she and Mark split in March, with Kerry convinced he was sponging off her.
"She was such a mess," recalled Pat. "She was saying, 'It's the only way I can function, it's the only way I can get sorted.'
"I had to get up and take the kids to school because Kerry had been up all night drinking and taking cocaine. She even wanted me to join in but I absolutely refused.
"On binges she just hammers it and hammers it, staying up day and night. Then her body goes into shutdown and she'll go to sleep."
Pat told us that during the break-up Kerry was also taking amphetamines from a pusher to try to keep off the weight she'd lost after liposuction.
"It wan't just exercise and diet, it was speed," said Pat. "She took it for quite a while to stop her feeling hungry."
It was when Mark moved back into the house a few days later that Pat realised she'd had enough and quit her job.
But yesterday Pat admitted she's still worried about Kerry, adding: "She needs to come out in the open, admit her problem and get help.
"But she's never thought of her cocaine use as a problem. She even convinced herself her Iceland deal was safe, bragging, 'I'll never lose my contract. They can't prove anything.' "
Unfortunately for Kerry, the News of the World COULD.

I think Kerry need`s to watch what she is doing, and get back in the game, I mean seriously she Isn`t only hurting herself she is hurting her daughters two. and that is a sin.

I LOVE HOW SOME PEOPLE ARE SHOWING HER SYMPATHY?!! ITS HER OWN CHOICE.
By lOU.. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:52 PM.
you are in charge of your own destiny. your beautiful girls deserve so much more, just give them to their daddy, if you truly love them (and i'm sure you do) you wouldn't want them around this current situation. take time to heal while you know they are being well looked after. look at the rough ride you had and what bad and sad memories you have, stop this vicious circle while the choice is still yours...good luck kerry x
By lulu.. Posted September 6 2009 at 9:55 PM.
Why do people continue to make excusses for her.
There are hundreds of people who have been abused worse that Kerry, during their lives. they continue to have a series of mental health issues due to their past. However they don't take drugs, they look after their kids and clean their homes.... Just because she is in the public eye does not mean that she should be wrapped in cotton wool. By doing what she is doing she is abusing her children.... She needs to take a step back evaluate her life and fix up. Her kids needs her. Forget about the leech.
By Miss Anderson.. Posted August 30 2009 at 10:26 AM.
She needs to concentrate on her kids and on getting clean. And sort out all her finances - with her bank manager if her accountant is too scared to see her again..........!!!!!!!! and stick with her true friends. Yes, she does also need to lose weight - about 12 stone of it, going by the name of Mark! Take proper medical advice for the bipolar disorder, and realise you CAN live without a partner, until - and unless - one who really cares comes along.
By Sue G... Posted August 28 2009 at 10:26 PM.
SOCIAL SERVICES will be looking out for u Kerry, do the right thing by ur children.Get rid of MARK,he just wanting your money. Your from a very deprevied backgroung, but try and come out on top.
By tracy.. Posted August 27 2009 at 10:19 PM.
If mums lost their kids for doing drugs and alchohol and having a dirty house sometimes there would be a lot of motherless kids. How many ''normal'' mums in the suburbs are just as bad but no body cares cause they aren't celebrities? Pat probably means well . but some of the stuff she says there indicates to me that she is not so nice as she would want us to think. She sure as hwell didn't have to say any of thjis to the media and definitely not as much as she has. Thats if its true .Which celeb or trendy young thing hasn't snorted coke at some time in their life? iTS BEEN EVEN MORE TRENDY THAN HEROIN WITH THE UPPER CRUST SINCE THE 1920'S AND some soyurces even say the greatest female celeb in England has a penchant for heroin and cocaine cocktails!!.Leave them alone ,the courts decicded the custody issue on the facts not gossip and Brian isn't so hot and Delta has never been the same since she had cancer ,she was a lovely young thing, but doesn't need the stress of someone else's kids in her life.LET HER HAVE A CHANCE WITH bRIAN WITHOUT SABOUTAGING IT WITH CUSTODY ISSUES AND ALL THE OTHER HASSLES.

Typical British/English whatever!
Useless, lost, disgraceful, empty shell .why? No God=No love=No hope to the power infinity!...so typical....shame....sad init!
By Je taime.. Posted August 26 2009 at 6:53 PM.
Well that's her choice, her kids don't.
By Kmart.. Posted August 26 2009 at 12:03 PM.
To those of you who are dissing Pat for coming out and speaking. Shut up you have no idea just what Pat has done for Kerry and how she has stood by her. She has been in bits since she left, she has been unable to contact her because that money grabbing low life has put a barrier between Kerry and the family who love her. Pat is a lovely lady who has suffered dreadfully, those of you who are calling her should first walk in her shoes. Leave her alone, Kerry if you are reading this, when I met you I thought you were a lovely girl, and that is how I saw you as a girl who wanted so desperately to be loved. You couldn't see that you had all the love you needed round you anyway. I am so sorry that you are suffering, both of you Pat and Kerry. Love you loads Pat take care.

How come nothing is said about these people that are supposed to be family and friends. Is it just me or am I deluded into thinking this is what family and friends do put secret cameras in bathrooms. Then her sister saying how worried she is but then spilling the beans on every bit of kerrys life. Was that done for free. Her mother doing the same thing. Her husband and friends. Everybody free loading off her and all in the name of trying to help her. I do not agree with what kerry has done but I was always of the belief family is sacred. This lot are ten a penny. Kerry you would be better off having enemies in your camp at least you would know what they was going to do. When you kick the habit and I know you will. Kick this lot with it
By lee.. Posted August 25 2009 at 4:35 PM.
Kerry Katona is a disgrace.. why has she still got her kids? If she was not a "celebrity" then her kids would have been taken away.. Its a case of "us" and "them" I hope brian mcfadden gets full custody (she should not be allowed to get "access")
What would have happened if her kids had gotten hold of her drugs!
Send her into the jungle (as a few of the tabloids have stated she wants to go back there and leave her in there
By J main.. Posted August 25 2009 at 2:43 PM.
I'm sick of Kerry Katona and all her hangers-on. They are just after one thing - MONEY.
I wish they would all go away! We don't care any more!
By tanya.. Posted August 25 2009 at 1:51 PM.
Kerry...you are alive, you have beautiful children, you have money (well, whatever is left) I think it's time you grow up a lttle. You need to get shut of that Mark idiot cos he is holding you back. As long as you are with him you will end up with nothing. You could take the kids, the nanny and go abroad. Get counselling, do whatever you need to do but get rid of him and the drugs. You could be dying of some horrible disease and would give anything for a cure but you are not. You have your whole life ahead of you if only you could see. I would pack everything and lay low and try and rebuild my life slowly. You can do it I know you can. Unfortunately you've played all ur cards now and people know what u'r upto. Please see what is infront of you Kerry and do something about it.
By traway.. Posted August 25 2009 at 1:35 PM.
I used to really like Kerry but now I think she's a DISGRACE! She is sooo self absorbed!! Watching the MTV show she just comes across as pure selfish-Mark too!! They are just interested in themselves & money! Kerry needs to get a grip & do right by the kids! It may not mean much to her but she's lost all my respect. She's pathetic!
By Kaylee.. Posted August 25 2009 at 8:31 AM.
I think its a shame for poor Kerry she is very easily lead.Get shut of that husband of yours he is beeding her dry and keeping her high with out her sinces he ripping her off.Wake up Kerry and at least give Brian tht kids they would have a decent up bring with him and Delta.Have your drugs or your children but i bet you wont have both.
By Helena.. Posted August 25 2009 at 7:12 AM.
Pat Ferrie shame on you dissin ur flesh n blood for ur few mins ov fame! good luck n best wishes kerry be strong n conqure ur probs :)
Best Wishes Mary
By lucky.. Posted August 25 2009 at 1:05 AM.
Kerry,PLEASE for the sake of your children who need u take care of your health.No ONE can replace u.Otherwise your children WILL MISS everything because they MISS a normal mother.I'm sure it isn't late.Be brave 4 yr kids and everything will be OK.I'm longing 4 a promising story about yr family and Pat in the News of the World.
By A.D.. Posted August 24 2009 at 11:50 PM.
I 2 think kerry looks like a lovely, funny girl. but she needs to sort herself out. some people are brought up different and c things in different ways but even kerry should know she is wrong. I watch kerrys show on mtv and i feel like shouting at her i cant understand y its so hard to take ur medication at the right time lik? especially if its suppose to have those sid effects. I can c kerry has had a bad life and has so many problems at once but thers help for that dont just sit there and feel sorry for urself sort urself out for the sake of ur kids and stay away from mark until ur strong enough to see right from wrong.
By Isabel.. Posted August 24 2009 at 4:40 PM.
How come everybody wants brian to take the kids. Yes it is obvious he is the dad but where is he. He knows whats going on and hes known for years. Even if he has tried for custody and failed. If he is that furious why has he not moved to be near his children and been to see them every single day. If I was as furious or as worried as he is I would not be half way around the world talking about my children. I would be there doing what I needed to do for my children. Kerry has made bad choices in her life but it does not mean she is a bad person. I wish she would just admit that she is addicted and then get help and move on with her life.
By joane.. Posted August 24 2009 at 3:46 PM.
Stop destroying your life Kerry. Wish you well.
By sue.. Posted August 24 2009 at 12:39 PM.
How is it possible for someone to make so much money with so little talent? ok she is a Junkie, Ok the Husband is a waste of space and to keep the money rolling in we will probably hear she has learned the error of her ways ( Lots more juicy interviews and another stint in rehab) that should be good for another quarter million.
Then in my street you see nice ordinary young couples struggling to keep their heads above water. and they dont get 1/10th what she gets.
Whos the fool its not Kerry Katona.
By Angela.. Posted August 24 2009 at 3:20 AM.
Kerry,Love U Need Help Hun Now Sooner Rather Than Later.You Need Bryan To Take Molly & Lilly For A While Until U Sort Yourself Out Girl Wats More Important "DRUGS" Or Your Children.Get Some Help Girl Before Its Far To Late.We Know You Can Do It.Plz Do It If Not For You At Least For Your 4 Beautiful Children Then.
By Margaret.. Posted August 24 2009 at 2:02 AM.
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE PLANS FOR YOUR KIDS FUTURE OR YOUR FUNERAL BECAUSE HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOUR BODY CAN TAKE.
JUST LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO M J FOR GOD SAKE, HE GOT INTO SOMETHING HE COULDN'T GET OUT OF NOW HIS KIDS ARE WITHOUT THERE FATHER AND YOUR KIDS ARE EVEN NOW WITHOUT THERE MOTHER.
I DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAY
YOU KEEP ON SAYING POOR ME MY MOTHER TOOK DRUGS WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND HOW MUCH IT HAD SCARED YOUR LIFE SO PLEASE TELL US WHY ARE YOU DOING IT TO YOUR CHILDREN.
This story said your home smells of tabs you don't look after your home or yourself so if you cannot look after yourself and home how can you care for your kids.
By margie.. Posted August 24 2009 at 2:03 AM.
I used to have a lot of sympathy for Kerry cause of her upbringing but she is doing to her kids what was done to her. She of all people should know better.
By kate.. Posted August 24 2009 at 12:59 AM.
The only person to blame for Kerry's problems is Kerry. Yes Mark is a low life but she is a grown woman. Bryan left her years ago so he is not responsible for what she does now. She needs help but I dont think she really wants it if she did she would have went to rehab not Tenerife.
By Lyn.. Posted August 23 2009 at 11:28 PM.
Kerry, hope u reading this! u such a nice person, but u need to kick ur husband out, he is a sponger!!! u can beat ur demons! dont get urself down! i feel so sorry for u i wish i could help u! take care and i hope to see u coming back 2 form soon!! love xx

By anon... Posted August 23 2009 at 7:44 PM.
This woman is a disgrace, I hope for her children's sake she gets help and sorts herself out. Not to mention her idiotic appearance on this morning, I think she now owes the country an apology. I guess as with any addict she will only deal with this if and when she wants to.

Kerry is scum we all no that but her ex Brian is just as bad as her.Why does he let those children live with that vile uneducated woman.He doesnt want them and she doesnt want them so whats going to become of them.How any mother could put her selfish husband and drugs before her kids beggars belief.She,s a dirty junky who,s caught agian.Do us all a favour scum bag take an overdose and put your poor kids out of there misery
By pat.. Posted August 23 2009 at 4:19 PM.
Oh my god this girl does not need any enemies her own family are selling her out. How many pieces of silver did her step sister take I wonder, and I take every word back if you did it for love and out of wanting help for your step sister, but if you have been paid then shame on you
By billy blake .. Posted August 23 2009 at 4:12 PM.
Poor Jade Goody died of cancer after fighting so hard to live and be with her boys. She was always seen with them, having fun and doing everything she could to make sure they were loved and secure. She made the most of all opportunities that came her way. Yet the likes of Kerry takes everything for granted - her fame, money, her health and most of all her children. She doesn't derserve any more chances or to keep those poor kids. She is a waste of space and it should be her that's dead, not Jade. Stop the publicity and sympathy. Just let her fade away into obscurity, never to be heard of again
By KK.. Posted August 23 2009 at 3:45 PM.
Pat you were one of the only people in the world this poor girl could trust - You stupid BITCH. I hope you rot in hell for going to the press. With family like you kerry does not need ememies. How do you sleep at night?

Sorry Kerry we are not buying your tears. Becoz you have been found, now you regret your ways? What if nobody found you, would you have changed? You are crying because you are embarrassed dear of being caught red handed. thats all.

Unfortunately for Kerry, the only person who can really help her - is Kerry Katona! She will never overcome her addictions / problems until she identifies whatever it is she's afraid of and which troubles her so badly; and cuts it out of her life. Drugs are an escape from many things in life, but that escape route all too often leads to degradation and death. I've been most of the way there Kerry, and the way back is long and painful - but it is possible; and when you succeed, well worth it.

its time to let this idiot go away...stop giving her the coverage everybody is sick of the rubbish..time to go katona
By mark.. Posted August 23 2009 at 1:13 PM.
I am sick of hearing about Kerry Katona!! She clearly needs help but doesnt want it!! Why do all these celebs on drugs get away with it!! Where are social services? and why has it took her ex husband Brian so long to get over here!! 2 selfish parents!!! poor kids !!
By carla.. Posted August 23 2009 at 1:11 PM.
I don't think Bryan is to 'blame'. Obviously he has a part in this situation. Kerry has choices, she chooses to do what she does.
By rebecca.. Posted August 23 2009 at 1:03 PM.
That poor girl needs help and fast, she has been sold down the river by everyone she has ever loved...... If Brian was a decent chap he would have helped her as she is the mother of his 2 children, but quite obviously like a lot of men his own happiness comes first, selfish, says all the right things, but no action follows...... I think he is to blame for this all
By mel.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:50 PM.
Kerry, I know to well what a drug addiction can do to a person And I'm also very aware that it will never stop the bad stuff in your head -In fact it will only add to it in a devastating manner and will and has taken over your life!You have so much to live for -four gorgeous kids for a start who would be absolutely devastated if they lost they're mum so come on and fight for an end to this and start living!!
By Tracey Claxton.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:39 PM.
Guess what I'm waiting for? If she goes into rehab and turns her life around, we'll be seeing the KK story in hard-back, paper-back, the movie (I wonder who'll play KK?) It's all so inevitable. She'll still have a better life - in financial terms - than the rest of us!!
By Bob Baillie.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:34 PM.
well done pat for speaking out, until she stops the lies and admits she is an addict not an occasional user she will lose everything.the two of them are a disgrace & deserve each other
By scouser.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:07 PM.
Kerry is Fab. I luv her to piece dispite what she has done. She needs someone to help her sort it out. Get rid of the crappy husband and get yourself a good friend. Her so called step sister can't be much help selling her out with an interveiw like that.
She needs a good friend it can't be hard with the whole world agaisnt her, I would happily stand by her and help her now in her time of need. You can do it kerry stand strong you will be fine I luv you x
By Luannsa.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:11 PM.
Give the lady a break people. She needs love and support and as much as she has failed her daughters by her own troubles please remember that she has been the sole parent up to now. These children will need they're mum, taking them away is inflicting more emotional trauma. I hope to god Kerry can turn her life about and rise for the sake of her children and for herself. She needs good people around not leeches and vultures!
By eve.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:10 PM.
has no one realised that, if Brian takes his children, the four siblings will be split up. It`s very sad but if Kerry really loves her kids she will dump that waste of space she lives with and GET HELP fast.
She tells of wiping her mum`s face after a binge and being a little mother to her.
That is what she is doing to little Molly.
she needs to stop it now before it`s too late.
And Brian, why not get custody of all four children.Bob Geldof took his wife`s love child.
Or can`t you be bothered either.
By carol ford.. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:18 PM.
Kerry, you've got a life, some people are dying and would give anything for another chance at it. You are so very selfish. You dont give any thought as to how your Girls will remember you. Get a Life, Kerry..GROW UP. Be what you wanted to be when you first got famous...dont throw it all away.
By Elizabeth from glastonbury.. Posted August 23 2009 at 11:55 AM.
Kerry, you are the same age as my son and if he had 4 kids and was hooked on coke I would do everything in my power to take those kids. But...having had a terrible upbringing myself, I can totally understand that drugs serve the purpose of getting away from all the crap in your head and it can take years and years to get to the point where you can ACCEPT proper help. But you have to do it now sweetie for the sake of your children. Let them be your strength. And ditch Mark, you know what he is. It's going to be hard, but it will be the best thing you ever did....promise! I think you need the biggest hug and I really hope that you can find the strength to move forward from this awful place you are in. Best wishes x
By jennyz.. Posted August 23 2009 at 11:49 AM.
brian - you have been avoiding taking responsibility of your girls for far too long. you occasionally pay lip service to magazines after each new scandal saying you are seeking custody but then all goes quiet and surprise surprise you haven't got the kids again. but please for the kids sake actually do it this time. it is just a shame that they will still have two other kids having to live in this horrendous situation with two parents who don't even look after them (as can be seen from her tv show - the only person who looked after them is the hired help).
By susannah.. Posted August 23 2009 at 11:39 AM.
I am absolutely appalled that social services do not seem to be involved...or perhaps they are and we don't know about it.
Clearly Brian her ex husband, father of some of her children does know but has been in Australia. I'm sorry but I'd die for my children and I think it is very odd indeed that he has only now made an appearance. Don't know his legal rights but when mum was on one of her " benders " then surely he would have been within his rights to step in and take the children.
Maybe it isn't as black and white, but either way is there anyone that thinks the children should be living with a woman and man like Mark and Kerry?
By anna.. Posted August 23 2009 at 11:23 AM.
Where are Social Services?!
By Susan.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:51 AM.
Kerry is clearly not a well woman and needs professional help - but it really doesnt help matters that she's surrounded by such dreadful people. Apart from the dire husband - she's now got her stepsister making money out of her by selling her story to the papers....nice!!!
By fiona.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:49 AM.
This is a very sad story but if Kerry is taking note she needs to get a grip. That Mark states "we have lost everything" to Kerry, well, no Mark Kerry has lost everything and you have not helped. Kerry needs to dump Mark he is a first class rat.
Brian McFadden was know better. Kerry needs to realise she is at rock bottom get help and get a grip of her life before it is to late.
Brook did it so can she. What is more important drugs, Mark or the precious children?
If you read these remarks Kerry seriously get a grip before it is to late.
By Lynne Brosnan.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:36 AM.
She is caught snorting line after line after line? Her sister does this story and Katona says in another paper "YES, I TAKE DRUGS BUT I AM NOT A DRUG ADDICT". Take those kids off her. She is and always will be in denial if she differentiates between a drug addict and one who takes drugs. She's a moron. She is me, me, and me and..mark. Her kids do not stand a chance in a family with a mother like her. She isn't even going to go to a unit, she is seeing 'motivational speakers' instead! Get those kids. She is vile.
By Diane.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:33 AM.
losing her iceland contract ha done her a favor she should now see how easy it was to lose that and how easy it will be when social services come along and she loses her kids. Jade Goody didnt have a choice she fought to live for her children she is someone to look up to where as kerry thinks shell have her children with her all the time shes in denial with her life. Her sister is right start again small house with the kids and help, and ditch mark.
By jo.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:29 AM.
i feel 4 kerry it is all to easy to go down hill and untill u have lived her life u can not judge or understand,i think her man mark has a hell of alot to answer to and has dragged her to the gutter,he should protect n help her not feed her habbit and paranoi
By ann mathers.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:30 AM.
I agree with some of these.. I get fed up of hearing these celebs moaning about how they've got no money left from their 200,000 plus a years salaries.. yeah must have be so hard to cope with driving home in your nice car after those couple of days a month you spent in a studio filming to relax in your mansion whilst the nanny 'helped' look after your kids.. then again i think i can just about remember how difficult it is to lift a suitcase to the airport.
Grow up Kerry, stop blaming everyone else for what you've done or allowed to be done to you, or you'll lose everything if you haven't already.
By jamstaa.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:18 AM.
To Sal,
Unfortunately you are wrong about Social Services taking the children away from addicts - I work in a pharmacy & we have many addicts who come in for their daily methadone prescriptions - majority of who are using the methadone as an 'extra' to their usual drug of choice & who come into the shop drugged up to their eyeballs - Many of these girls & women are single with no sign of the fathers and are sole custodians of their babies & children..
By Minky.. Posted August 23 2009 at 10:10 AM.
Kerry, Please get some help. Get yourself off that drug. You have everything going for you and your children. You have been a lovely role model in the past. I love to hear what you do etc, but not this. For your own sake - get the help you need, you are too nice to lose. Come on lass, turn your life around. Please get help. I am thinking of you. You can do it. Once you are off, don't ever dabble with drugs again. The kids are just lovely too - we do not want to hear of another tradgic loss like lovely Jade. Try hard. Come on.
By lisa babe.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:47 AM.
She had it all a nice home lovely kids it seems that the only thing that mattered was herself she comes across as ME ME ME poor ME ME Well time to get a life she has a life her kids oh where are they what kids ! SHE LEFT them along time ago get a life be happy your kids are waiting for you good luck
By gwyneth.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:37 AM.
If this person lived on a council estate her children would now be in social services care or with their father. What a double standard we have in this country. It's ok to live in this chaotic way as long as you remain rich or famous. Time for these people to act. Kerry will never have a need to get herself together if everyone allows her to justify her behaviour and enable her to continue. Her current husband is a gold digger and she knows it but is in denial. denial is a terrible thing..... Kerry, Katie Price... what's the difference? Insecure young women who need to be famous, loved, with a man to survive... sad really as if they decided that enough was enough and be strong they'd be so much better off.
By Sal.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:37 AM.
Stop putting coke up your nose and start looking after your kids then im sick of this woman...
By tracy.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:43 AM.
I am sick to death of hearing about the 'sad' lives of drug addict celebrities!
As I (and millions of other British people) struggle to survive on a meagre wage/benefits/pemsions etc, I couldn't care less aboutb the likes of Kerry Katonna who should know better!!!
By simon.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:42 AM.
take the kids out of this now and get the girl help to grow up quickly and take responsibility for her actions before its too late
By charlie.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:45 AM.
it makes me angry when their are so many people fighting for their lives through illness how must they feel seeing this pathetic idiot who had everything going for her what about the children were is their dad while all this is going on if it had been someone who was not famous their would be drug raids and kids taken in to care rules for one and not the other if she does not want help then let her do what she wants with her pathetic life and let someone who cares to look after the kids to bring them up proper she should go round the streets at night and see how many homeless are about through drugs who nows she might be joining them
By carol .. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:26 AM.
Ive never took drugs in my life and looking at the video, i never will, think she need to get a proper job working hard such as in old peoples home, looking after the elderly for sometimes minimum wage then she might appreciate life more.
By carol.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:25 AM.
Kerry has never been my favourite. No matter how nice the appearance was once she opened her mouth that was it. Nothing sensible has ever come out of there. Feeling very sorry for her kids. Yes the social services should've acted a long before now but then again front cover of the ok magazine with her kids always made it look as a happy family. If only. And as for Kerry herself she's panished herslef neccesserily. Other people i feel sorry for are the once who do suffer with bipolar and have to manage their kids , housework, jobs cause simply they honest people who have to survive from month to month wages and can't afford to pay all these people to do silly little jobs for them
By Dino.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:23 AM.
what i find the most shocking about this video is how the cocaine is just there on a tray in the bathroom she wanders in and wanders out, its is easily reachable and accessible to all her children, its not hidden away she just leaves it there on the tray and obviously strolls in and out every few hours the kids can easily see what she is doing and think its okay to do because mommy does it and its not exactly hard for them to reach or get to, this is quite clearly irresponsible idiotic and selfish.
By melnkarly.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:10 AM.
No one cares about the "woo-woo" singer from a defunct 5 minute wonder girl band, or the sponging cab driver she married.
People DO care about the welfare of four innocent, vulnerable and easily impressed children though, and the Social Services should make sure they are protected until (if ever) their mother is well and truly over her addiction and the cab driver is out of the picture for good.
By Judy R.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:08 AM.
what,s taken brian mcfadden so long to take his two girls and give them a proper up bringing

By mick.. Posted August 23 2009 at 9:00 AM.
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE KERRY INSTEAD OF THE COKE, YOUR POOR KIDS, WHAT KIND OF LIFE HAVE THEY GOT. SORT YOURSELF OUT BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!
By Louise.. Posted August 23 2009 at 8:56 AM.
Why arent Social Services involved four innocent children are being brought up by a nanny as their drug taking mother isnt capable of looking after them any non celebrity would have had their kids taken from them by now if they carried on the way she does - she needs help
By awc.. Posted August 23 2009 at 8:29 AM.
Im with susie on this( post 5:07am),
I'm fed up reading about how these poor celebs cope in the real world, if they had to work for a living god knows how they would really cope. Posh,Jordan,Kerry get a life and the rest of you reading this wake up. these sort of people are not role models and nither are those group of wannabes in the bb house, thats just a form of cheap tv which people have finally woken up too!
By simon .. Posted August 23 2009 at 8:17 AM.
everyone wants to slate her and call for her kids to be taken away.but kate moss did the same thing and noone said that her daughter should be taken away.people are such hypocrites.
she needs someone strong to basically force her into rehab.and make her see how very crazy what she's doing is.but that doesnt mean that she isnt a good mum or that she doesnt love her children.
By mimi.. Posted August 23 2009 at 7:50 AM.
Where are social services during all of this? Shouldn't they be involved at least. There are 4 kids to worry about!
By jd.. Posted August 23 2009 at 7:35 AM.
I am so glad this has happened it is time we all started seeing the truth about this so called celebs (what a joke!!) and what they are really up to i think the likes of Kerry and Jordan should get out of everyones lives!! They are Vile women and would not know how to be good mothers let alone mother of the year they have nannies to bring up their kids!!
VILE!!!
By Julie.. Posted August 23 2009 at 7:19 AM.
Kerry, you are one VERY foolish woman. Me thinks the only reason you won't dump that leaching partner of your's is because he 'scores' for you, right? You have all but lost it all now - no more contracts, no more money coming in. Next will be your house up for sale and a bankrupcy order being placed on you. Where will the leach be? I will tell you - LAUGHING at you while taking half of what you have left. You will be dead within a few years because you will turn to cheaper and nastier ways to get out of your face. You need help and you need it NOW.....
By Colin.. Posted August 23 2009 at 5:43 AM.
Am I the only one who is sick fed up reading about the nonentity Kerry Katona or her hubb ex cabbie Mark.?
I am now declaring my home a Kerry Katona ,Jordan & Vicky Beckham free zone.
By Susie.. Posted August 23 2009 at 5:07 AM.
Kerry is a disgrace, her children should not still be with her. I am so sick and tired of hearing her moaning on about her upbringing, and her constant need to blame others for all her mistakes now.
I am even more worried about young girls looking up to Kerry and these other so-called other celebs.
By Katie.. Posted August 23 2009 at 2:55 AM.
Who cares? she has been given countless chances to sort her life out and yet still manages to waste it away. There was a time she could have made a fortune from her bubbly personality, however it turns out she is a waster married to a waster and bad role model. I pray for the day when I can pick up the paper without Kerry and Jordan.
By BBev.. Posted August 23 2009 at 2:02 AM.

kerry yet again you silly silly girl for months we have been telling you to get rid of mark and look after your kids yourself. but no here we are again you fool you are going to loses your kids at the end of the day ,brian will take your girls and that thing you call a husband will end up with his kids .and sorry my love you will end up in a nut house or a brown box.i really hoped your read all these mails people leave but you most of not as you are still carry on like a silly pig ,want does it take for people like you to get the point.i am sorry kerry i think uuuu have blow it this time silly girl i feel sorry for you
By brian walsh.. Posted August 23 2009 at 1:35 AM.
i hope she gets help and sorts her life out if not for herself but for her 4 kids but the fact is even if she did get clean and stayed of the drugs we would never know if she was telling the truth as shes lied so often about it but what really annoys me is the fact she allways blames her bipolar disorder for the way she is, i have bipolar disorder and i DO NOT use drugs or drink to much and i dont slur my words and act incoherrent ,in fact most ppl dont no i have it unless i tell them but some ppl dont believe i have it because i dont act like her and its about time those ppl realised bi polar does not make u act like her,substance abuse does and allthough bipolar can make u feel like the world stinks or make u feel u can do anything,that is no excuse for taking coke im a mother and my kids will always come 1st and no child can be ur number 1 priority when ur wasted
