Because hopeless cokehead Kerry was sold four grams of the drug by her own MOTHER.
And the sordid "keep it in the family" deal proves our shocking video of the reality TV star snorting cocaine was NOT a one-off lapse, as she tried to claim.
Self-confessed drug-user Sue Katona, 49 - who introduced Kerry to amphetamines at just 14 - sold her daughter the Class A powder two months BEFORE the video was filmed.
Last night, a pal of Sue's said: "Kerry's been taking drugs regularly since she split from Brian McFadden five years ago.
"After the video came out she said she'd taken the cocaine in a moment of weakness because it was a low point in her marriage. But that's bull. She's been getting drugs from anyone who will supply her on the quiet - including her mother."
Mum-of-four Kerry sent a friend round to Sue's two-bed terrace in Warrington to pick up the drugs in June - a whole month before the star's big bust-up with husband Mark Croft over him groping strippers in Majorca.
When the pal arrived she was carrying Kerry's 16-month-old son Maxwell, one of her two children with Croft.
Our source said that no money changed hands when the cocaine was collected. Sue's friend revealed: "Her mate didn't have the cash on her. Kerry settled up with Sue later."
After being handed the "stuff" - wrapped in four separate packages and worth about £240 - the girl was instructed to stash them in different places in Kerry's motor for the journey back.
The friend had agreed to drive the 19 miles from Kerry's £1 million home in Wilmslow, despite the risk of arrest for possession - which carries up to seven years in prison. Supplying cocaine can attract a life sentence.
A pal of Sue's, who witnessed the handover, told the News of the World: "It was like she had come round for some sugar!
"Kerry had called Sue earlier and asked if she could get her dealer to supply her with coke.
"She couldn't be bothered to drive the half-hour journey herself so she told Sue that her friend would come and collect it.
"Sue was just glad that Kerry was speaking to her and letting her see the kids, so she agreed.
"Kerry's mate flounced in the house with baby Maxwell in her arms. She asked Sue if she had 'the stuff'. It was like it was the most normal thing in the world for her to pick up drugs for Kerry.
"As she shoved it in her bag, one of Sue's friends said she should place the wraps in different parts of the car in case she was pulled over by the police.
"She didn't seem fazed and said, 'It'll be all right,' before waltzing out of the house."
Sue's friend decided to speak out after ex-hubby Brian said he would NOT fight for custody of the two daughters he has with Kerry, 29. The former Atomic Kitten singer still faces a second social services probe into whether she is a fit mother. Brian and his parents have accepted assurances from Kerry that the News of the World's video was just an isolated incident.
They have agreed not to try to take away Molly, eight, and six-year-old Lilly-Sue.
But our source also revealed that Kerry's friend has been getting her speed - a cheaper drug - when she hasn't been able to afford coke. The bankrupt star lost her £250,000 Iceland contract last month after the cocaine video scandal.
Sue's pal added: "Kerry likes the fact that her mate is into drugs. She just doesn't see anything wrong in drug-taking at all. It's just a normal part of her life.
"Kerry will also get speed when she's trying to pretend to Mark she isn't taking cocaine. Apparently it doesn't make her look off her head."
A spokesman for the star said: "Kerry Katona utterly denies these new allegations."
We showed the same spokesman pictures of her snorting cocaine in her bathroom before we published them last month.
He denied it was Kerry in the pictures. The next week he helped her sell a story to another newspaper in which she apologised for her behaviour.

May I ask why all of the would be psychologists on here deem to think that the bint would listen to them. She is a selfish, talentless no hoper. Keep your words of advice for someone who wants them

Very nice site!
By Pharmf961.. Posted October 9 2009 at 7:24 PM.
Kerry is unstable and losing it. She's bipolar and troubled, living with a man she knows she can't trust but can't be without. Brian has none of these problems, he rarely sees his kids, and complains about their mother all the time. He is a waste of space, if his press people do beg him to try for custody, I hope he doesn't get to swoop in and 'save the day'. I heard he wants to move them to Ireland to his mum's. Sounds like Delta is not into the idea of them being in Australia in their love nest. Nice dad and stepmum.
By loot.. Posted September 23 2009 at 8:50 AM.
I am not condoning Kerry's action but we should be careful with our comments in her fragile state. How sad we will all feel when we are dealing with a pre-mature death.She's fragile,lonely, and needs tough love,something she never had growing up. Her children need protecting so that this 'addiction'does not pass on to the next generation. Brian is selfish. If he cared he would support the mother of his children and not condemn her. He is partially to blame.
By margaret.. Posted September 21 2009 at 8:56 PM.
It is deplorable what the children have to put up with - a manic-depressive, drug-addicted mother who does not have the character to help herself, an absentee father and all of it front page news. I hope they have a better life some time in the future.

Brian doesnt want the kids as that will ruin his life down here in OZ, he is equally as bad as she is. He needs to take responsibilty for his kids. This woman needs help
By Aussie Bob.. Posted September 21 2009 at 1:03 AM.
I wish Kerry well. Come on Kerry get yourself back on track lass". Start again. From wellwisher.
By Lisa Babe.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:49 PM.
it a good thing we are all so perfect, i wonder how we would cope in her situation. its so easy for every1 to cuss her and say she's a chav but how would they cope if they were in her situation living in the eyes of the public. them wanting to know even wen u wen to the toilet, if u were alone and what colour loo roll u used. life's hard for us all we dont have the priviledge of making our mistakes in public. if that was your sister, mother, cousin, neice, daughter, aunty what would you do to hep them. lets hope she gets help before she ends up like bob geldorf's ex paula
By friend in need is a friend indeed.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:29 PM.
kerry badly needs to sort her life out she is only thinking of herself and not about her beautiful childern,brian would also want to get a grip of reality and do something about the situation they are his children too.
By l ryan.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:59 PM.
Are Social-Services too afraid of a high-profile case if they attempt to intervene in this 'family's' life? I always thought that Children's lives were Social-Services priority? It seems not if the person is famous. What are they afraid of? At the moment they look like they are not doing their job of protecting these children. The Mother has a drug, mental and alcohol problem and needs outside help away from her dysfunctional family and hangers-on. The Children probably just want their Mother back. Nobody is doing Kerry Katona any favours here. In fact they are all leeching off her and Social-Services are leaving her to flounder instead of giving her the help she needs.

CHAV'S......... ONLY THING THAT SPRINGS TO MIND... BRIAN WHY ARE THESE GIRLS STILL WITH THE CHAV...
By lyns.. Posted September 20 2009 at 7:44 PM.
It s ok saying give the girls to brian,but can you honestly beleive that delta will love them as her own?She played a part in ruining Kerry s life.I hate drugs,I dont even smoke,am happily married with four kids,three boys and a girl,the opposite of yours Kerry,but I don t bad mouth you,I beleive that your life will get better,of course you need willpower,A GOOD FRIEND and a partner that treats you well and supports you.Good Luck Kerry,the kids belong to you,hope you get the help you deserve.

Very clever to comment on a persons mothers appearance. Moronic comments as per usual from un-educated ignorant bloggers.
By les .. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:09 PM.
Their kids don't stand a chance, all parents (Kerry, Brian and Mark) only care about is themselves. If Brian had anything about him he would be fighting tooth and nail to rescue his kids from their drug addict mother, instead he's just making feeble noises about seeing them whenever he feels the pressure to do something about the situation. Give it another 15 years or so and they'll have turned into their mother, whether she's still alive by then is anyone's guess. Either way they will be severely messed up kids.
By Kim S .. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:03 PM.
Won't someone please think of the children
By colin bell.. Posted September 20 2009 at 4:08 PM.
YUK! Looks like she will morph into her ugly mother sooner rather than later, what class (not!). You can take the girl out of Warrington but you can't take the Warrington out of the girl.......

kids to brian my arse!. Hes too busy with his bird in aussie to be bothered about his kids!
By linda.. Posted September 20 2009 at 2:38 PM.
Time to give the kids to Brian McFadden as Kerry Katona obviously cannot cope and her family will not be a positive influence.
By TheVoice.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:25 PM.
Well !!! ... What a big surprise that is ... NOT!
By Ella, Cardiff.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:14 PM.
What Kerry Katona needs more than anything else right now is some tough love.She needs someone strong enough to tell her the truth and stand up to her and to help her sort out her car crash of a life not only for her sake,but for the sake of her kids.If she were to end up screwing up her kids lives the same way her mother has done with her then I don't think that Kerry would ever forgive herself.She needs help and she needs it NOW!
By Rita Cocking.. Posted September 20 2009 at 1:00 PM.
O M G the state of it, absolutly disgusting, i dont know which is the worse train wreck, Katona or that slapper Price, either way i'm starting to get very bored with all this rubbish, these people need to go back under the rocks they came from.
By DCB.. Posted September 20 2009 at 11:54 AM.
she is sad and needs help. I feel for the two girls not even their father wants them how selfish is he.

Kerry Katona's life is a car crash in slow motion & at what stage will Social Services intervene????

In response to Jo (9:51AM):
Contrary to your idea that there is "nothing wrong with taking drugs recreationally", there are actually many things wrong with taking illicit substances:
1. Source of drugs - illegal drugs are uncontrolled and unregulated. British Forces are not only fighting terrorist insurgents in Afghanistan, they are also fighting the drug cartels that are killing people unnecessarily in order to fulfil the opium demands of the drug-takers in the West. Drug use is the biggest cause of theft in the UK, having a knock-on impact of retail prices as shops have to increase prices to account for this.
2. Long-term effects are unproven. Over-use of drugs that have been untested causes major problems in the future for both individuals AND the National Health Service. The effects of cannabis use are now being seen with major increases in admissions related to psychotic incidences put down to cannabis use.
By CG.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:38 AM.
A poor beginning in life is no excuse for letting your children down, in fact, they should be the reason to want to better yourself. Which Kerry has done... well initially! but now financially and healthwise, she has blown it, rather than rise above her problem past, she has decided to lower herself down to it, and it looks like she is more comfortable staying where she has been.
Shame on her - what a selfish woman, I'm sure your children will be oh so proud of you when they are old enough to read the archive tabloids about you!
By June.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:16 AM.
Aaron - it is soft, no-ball people like you that allow Kerry to go on with her deceitful way of life. You might think you are being compassionate but it doesn't solve anything, she needs tough love not a softly softly approach so as much as you think people are being nasty they aren't. Maybe Kerry can't be helped...at the end of the day she has to do it for herself as much as for her kids and evidence shows that she hasn't, or can't. In which case she will and should lose those kids.
By Jo.. Posted September 20 2009 at 10:01 AM.
There is nothing wrong with taking drugs recreationally as long as it doesn't affect your real life. In her case it can't help but affect it negatively.
By Jim.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:51 AM.
Where are social services? This is truly getting more shocking by the minute. Why can't Brian take the 2 older kids?, has Delta given him an ultimatum, its your kids or me? None of these kids should be in this house of drugs and god knows what else, it is truly disgusting what is going on. Where are the social services?????????
By jojo1966.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:47 AM.
When the 'pics' of Kate Moss were published of her in the same situation as Kerry, it became a Police matter. Granted, it didn't do her career any harm, but she was still investigated by the Police, Is Kerry being investigated??????
By Fleur.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:38 AM.
i do hope coronation street aren't thinking of addingn her to their cast I would be devastated and would probably never watch it again I can't stand the woman
By lORRAINE.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:25 AM.
If that was a normal family on a council estate the social services would have had the kids taken off her ages ago.
By Trisha.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:24 AM.
if Brian wont take them - social services should!
By Carole.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:23 AM.
Brian is a DISGRACE! No plans to take his two daughters away from a life of hell with Kerry Katona so he is as bad as her.
Lets hope something happens quickly so these children are taken away.
By Jeanette.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:14 AM.
Well done Brian. Thats all i can say. YOUR THE CELEBRITY MATE GET THEM KIDS OUT OF THERE.
By andy Long.. Posted September 20 2009 at 9:08 AM.
Even though Brian loves his kids he does not appear to want to interupt his current life and new relationship to save these children from the same kind of childhood that kerry has experienced.
By Jackie.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:54 AM.
I am so bored with Kerry Katona
By sammie.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:45 AM.
What an awful environment for the children, isn't that a good enough reason for them not to be there. Makes my blood boil.
By Mandy.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:44 AM.
I would like a representative of the Police to issue a public statement about this. They need to tell us why Kerry Katona is above British Law and is not facing up to 7 years imprisonment for drug possession which anybody else would.
Why her home is never searched, her cars or indeed herself. Why are the police not going over Kerry Katona with the same enthusiasm they go after everyone else for drug possession?
By Helen E... Posted September 20 2009 at 8:40 AM.
lets not forget here that this sort of behaviour goes on every minute of the day in every street in the country. the only difference is that its not in every paper in the world!
By magic.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:35 AM.
There's not much hope for you if your own mother is supplying you with drugs. What Kerry needs is someone who cares for her and is willing to put their foot down. Unfortunately anyone like that is long gone as there is always some "yes" person willing to indulge her and her problems.
By Jemma.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:23 AM.
Classy Family!!!
By Stuart.. Posted September 20 2009 at 8:03 AM.
one thing is for sure,,,,kerry wont last two minutes at coronation street,thats if they are still dumb enough to hire her.

By susan maddocks.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:16 AM.
A sad state of affairs indeed . So sad. I don't think there is any point being angry with this girl anymore , she is beyond rationale and reason . For that reason something should be done to protect her children and keep them away from all that .
By Susan.. Posted September 20 2009 at 3:29 AM.
Has this woman ever done a stroke of work in her life? Leave Kerry alone? Sure! Just get the F out of the public eye and we wont bother you!

Aaron
It's a shame that ur 'fan' love of Kerry doesn't extend to her kids!
'poor' Kerry and her low self esteem, 'poor' kerry and her terrible childhood, 'poor' kerry and her targetting by the media!!
SHE HAS CHILDREN!!!!!!!!! as much as she has not had the best start in life she sure as hell has had the opportunities to turn it around! after im a celeb she was loved and yes i know she went through a messy break up but so do a million other people in the media and out but for most, their kids come first!!!! ITS NOT AN EXCUSE TO TURN TO DRUGS!!!!! and if u had any real sympathy surely it should be for those children!!! Get some perspective! Get the kids out of there, send Kerry to rehab, show her the consequences of this and maybe she will realise that she is putting her children on the same destructive path that her own mother put her through!!

haven't we heard enough about this drug taking so called celebrity. Seems she's had more than enough chances to clean her act up, and it's obvious she just doesn't want to, so let her rot in her own mess, All drug users are sefish and it's all about them,she is one fat slob with no class whatsoever.

Absolutely disgraceful. I will never forget seeing a video clip on the front of a newspaper a few months ago, was it The Sun, not sure, but it was of this "mother" ranting and raving at poor Kerry, and her language was disgusting. I am not a bit surprised she is insecure and unsettled, only the professionals can help her. It's a sure thing she has had an insecure start in life with that trollop.
By suzey.. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:29 AM.
Hold on a minute Mary, Kerry has been through enough. The poor girl is just crying for help!!
And with everybody taking chunks out of her only proves that she is only doing this because she feels so low and has NO self-esteem.
Give Kerry a break! She is doing only what she knows because of what she witnessed as a CHILD.
Now leave Kerry ALONE so she can get over this PRIVATLEY and she will be able to sort herself out and continue to be an AMAZING mother!
And nobody can take that from her! Yes, she has made mistakes, who hasn't? And hers have only been made 1000X worse because she's a TARGET in the media.
If you're reading this Kerry, this proves you still have people out there who care about you and wan't you to help yourself and get back on track. True fans will never leave your side no matter WHAT you do wrong or what mistakes you make!
