SHAMELESS Kerry Katona pushes a rolled £20 note up her nose before swiftly snorting a line of cocaine - and every second is caught in shock detail on video.

KERRY: Her public face
KERRY: Her public face

The reality TV star has repeatedly denied she has a problem. But today the News of the World reveals the full extent of her cocaine habit with exclusive footage of her TAKING the Class A drug this week in her own bathroom.

Our bombshell evidence - recorded on Wednesday - PROVES the 28-year- old mum of four has told a string of LIES in a desperate bid to cover up her addiction. The video was offered to us after we published a series of stories about Kerry's bizarre behaviour and long-standing drug abuse.

It clearly shows the onetime singer and I'm A Celebrity jungle queen stumbling into the en suite at her home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, picking up the £20 note in her right hand before using it to push the white powder around to form a neat line.

READ: WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, KERRY?

With obviously well-practised skill she leans over, shoves the note up her nostril and takes just one second to snort the drug up her nose. Then she clutches her stomach as it takes effect and wraps her grey cardigan around her for comfort before croaking: "Eurgh!"

She shakes her head and moves from the en-suite back towards her bedroom but stops briefly to rub her nose and check herself in the mirror - making sure she has removed any stray, noticeable grains.

The astonishing video of Kerry - twice crowned Celebrity Mum of the Year - can be seen above.

It is believed that Kerry's two eldest children - daughters Molly, seven and Lilly Sue, six - and their nanny were also in the house at the time, shortly after 5pm.

Their stepdad Mark Croft, 39, was away from home after a huge row with ex-Atomic Kitten star Kerry.

Sniffing

Before the damning drug-taking sequence - which followed a FOUR-DAY drink bender - our video shows Kerry sitting on her bed, continuously sniffing and ranting to a male friend about husband Mark.

He was recently caught on camera himself, cavorting with lap dancers in Majorca. And this has caused huge strains in the marriage. A source told us: "You can see how mad Kerry is on the video. She was ranting incoherently and had already done a line of coke.

"She was saying she couldn't forgive Mark and how she'd got revenge by sending him a text the night before declaring 'One all' - claiming that she'd cheated on him too."

As the camera rolls, chain-smoking Kerry sits on her unmade, dishevelled bed, wearing glasses, black headband, white blouse, the cardigan and jeans. She admits to her friend that she was wrong to send the 'One all' text to Mark. "You're right, I shouldn't have done it," she says. "But HE shouldn't have done it either (referring to Mark groping the dancer). He deserves it. It's a f***ing joke. I've watched it (the video of Mark). He got his hands on her and he's paying for it. He didn't get set up. . . that's b***s (Mark claimed he'd been trapped by the girls).

SHE NOSE HOW: One snort and line of coke is gone

"People could try to set me up but I'd say no. It's simple. No! He had his hands on her thighs. I've watched it."

And as Kerry rants away - in the same bedroom where viewers often see her relaxing during episodes of her MTV show Kerry Katona: Crazy In Love - she is also drinking. Our source said: "She had a cold, open bottle of pink champagne on the window sill and it wasn't even 6pm. But it was the drugs that she was more interested in."

After moaning about her marriage Kerry staggers across her room - over the belt, towels and laptop computer littering the floor - to the bathroom.

Crisis

On the side of the bath, next to a vase of decorative red flowers, is a red pub drip tray - which she normally keeps under the bed - already piled with cocaine plus a £10 and £20 note ready rolled alongside a mystery white bag. Our source said: "Kerry IS an addict. She went in there, hoovered a line up her nose in a second and that was that."

HORRIFYING: Star clutches stomach and shudders as drug take effect

Also in shot on the footage are touching reminders that Kerry once adored her husband. Photos of the couple are in a wooden frame on the window sill, with a picture of one of her children as a newborn baby.

Kerry's bathroom coke session followed four booze-soaked days drowning her sorrows over the crisis in her marriage. The marathon began on Saturday when she headed to her bedroom and drank TWO BOTTLES of white wine on her own.

Despite a hangover, next day she and Mark joined up with friends at their local pub in Wilmslow and she supped pints of lager.

Our source said: "Kerry got wasted. She was already drunk on the beer when she stumbled back home and opened up another bottle of white wine." On Monday she and a friend headed to Blackpool for a girls' day out. Our insider added: "Kerry got drinking as soon as she possibly could in Blackpool. It was an all-dayer.

"She started on lager, and had several pints. Then she went onto the wine and drank a bottle.

"Finally she hit the vodkas and had six of them. She was flirting with complete strangers and paid for everything - kebabs, taxis, clubs, the lot."

On Tuesday she went to Halo nightclub in her home town of Warrington and was spotted with her eyes rolling round and pulling faces at the crowd.

Another clubber told us: "Kerry was absolutely out of her mind - she looked like she was definitely on something. She could barely stand."

who ever set her up was right, she should be ashamed of herself, why is she doing drug's, she has had such a terrible childhood does she not want a better one for her 4 children???? these celeb's have such a good privileged life why don't they enjoy it ???

By karlie. Posted October 26 2009 at 11:29 PM.

The person who made this video is heartless and disgusting.

By Deniz. Posted October 25 2009 at 1:56 PM.

I think this is shocking considering her girls are old enough now to google there mums name and find out what shes really like, but to be fair if she wasnt in the public eye nobody would give this a second thought. The fact is people that are considered non celebs do this kind of thing all the time and im sure theres alot more celebs that do it to.

By Louise. Posted October 19 2009 at 12:08 PM.

LEAVE KERRY ALONE !!!!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN IS IT OK TO BE A COKE HEAD AND LOOK AFTER 4 CHILDREN????????? HOW CAN SHE THINK OF DRUGS ANYWAY, LET ALONE WHEN SHE'S A MOTHER ???? IT'S ALWAY'S THE KID'S THAT SUFFER AT THE HAND'S OF SHITE PARENT'S.

By Keeley goble. Posted September 28 2009 at 9:42 PM.

Brian doesn't want to have the kids on a permanent basis. He recognises that currently he cannot afford to be a full time father. He needs another 3 to 5 years; once his current musical endevaours come to financial fruition AND he marries Delta he will be in a more suitable position to take care of the kids.

But for now he is just waiting and hoping that Kerry doesn't permanently damage the kids.

By Donie Gleeson. Posted September 27 2009 at 3:32 PM.

while i am disgusted in kerrys behaviour and think the woamen should be banged up as would happen to one of us normal joes i also wonder where the father the two eler children is i know if it was my childfren i would be braking the door down to get them out that house and that situation or is he far too busy with his new life down under also where are social services im sure if i was caught sticking class a drugs up my nose theyed have a few words to say to me funny isnt it!!

By gemma . Posted September 27 2009 at 3:07 PM.

come on...how long is the papers going to follow Britains poorer version of Britney spears there always some form of stupid story about this lazy women in the papers...this time her home made video of cocaine snorting............just to make a extra buck on the expense of us......... think about it........... there are better story's and news out there

i think people should leave kerry alone.Let her get on with her life .If she gets realy ill then thats her fault. But i think her mum should get put away for a bit.Kerry must be under a lot of stress right now

By chloe. Posted September 23 2009 at 2:42 PM.

WOW! another so called celeb on cocaine...what a shocker! lol
The shock would be a video about celebs who don't use drugs. come on! I am sooo not surprised at this.

By Monsoon. Posted September 20 2009 at 5:52 PM.

HOW DISGUSTING. TAKE THOSE KIDS AWAY.

By che. Posted September 20 2009 at 12:50 PM.

Kerry needs help and the scary thing is, she doesn't even know it. I was diagnosed with biploar after mega cocaine use and it MAKES U CRAZY. Her man will be controlling her with it. As much as i feel for her kids, she won't have any concept of what is going on until she stops putting that rubbish up her nose and takes a step back. It amazing how it makes you think everyone is out to get you. POOR KERRY.

By Sarah. Posted September 10 2009 at 9:48 PM.

I am so disappointed!! I really believed kerry when she denied being a drug user!! Her kids need to be in a safer place!! Kerry just leaves the cocaine in the bathroom where her kids could easily get to it!!! Shame on her!!! No matter what disorder she has there is no excuse for that!!!

By ian east. Posted August 30 2009 at 3:19 PM.

kerry and brian both need to agree that he has to have the kids...they need to let the kids know its for the best at this time... the kids need to see them pull together to make it work...kids come 1st but it seems to me its all about poor kerry...get a grip kerry,at this time u would be a good mum by letting yr kids go so that u can get help..if you love them u would...stop feeling sorry for yourself and get well for your kids..if not the older they get they will soon start to resent u.....u can do it if you believe in yr self..i know many who have hit rock bottom,its not easy and can take along time but they did it....TRY

By susan wilcox/burnard. Posted August 30 2009 at 12:23 PM.

i just watched the video and am shocked how any parent could carry on like this with their kids in the house. I dont think kerry is a bad person just a very messed up one who needs urgent help. first of all she really needs to get rid of that so called husband, and surround herself with people she can trust. Maybe her first 2 kids would be better off with their dad , but what about the 2 youngest? i just feel so sorry for them. Yes kerry had a rough life but how many excuses can people make for her , she had soooo many good chances in her life and has completely messed them all up what a waste. Please kerry get good help think of your children, they deserve so much better than this. Your kids will be taken away and it will be a bit late to be crying about it then, do something now, prove all the negative people out there something . be happy with what you have .I wish you the very best .

how dad the camera get into the room?
What was it doing there?
Is that allowed?

If you have broken in to place a camera then shame.
Or it's all a bloody set up. Who knows.

By me. Posted August 27 2009 at 3:56 PM.

i think what nobody is getting through their heads here is the fact that some people are just bad, and kerry is one of them. she does drugs because she wants to, and that`s just the type of character she is. it`s not because of pressure or bi-polar, she is simply a flawed character from a disfuntional background. has it occured to you that when she was bubbly on tv, that was just a mask she could wear when it suited? you find out about who people really are in hard times, not when everything is going well, and now we can all see who the real kerry is.

By jpb. Posted August 27 2009 at 3:15 PM.

Get a grip!
This lass does not deserve to have children in her home or attempt at being a mother to them if she has drugs in the house. Yes, I agree she is completely screwed up at the present and needs to get her life sorted out and if it means taking the kids of her to give her that "kick up the backside" well so be it. Are social services taking a back seat again in this common situation and then will all jump in when something happens to one of those kids ??????????

By Moe. Posted August 26 2009 at 8:28 PM.

o yes and by the way iv seen comments on here saying that the slurred speach is from the cocaine, i take the same medication as kerry i also have slurred speach worse than kerrys so for those who dont know the facts dont say a word as you are all hypocrits and should look at you own lives because no one is perfect

By stephie. Posted August 26 2009 at 5:15 PM.

i have had bi~polar for two years, unless you got the illness you could not imagine on how it takes over your body, you got no control over your actions or thoughts. its easy for non sufferers to comment but they dont know what it is like i wouldnt wish the illness on my worse enemy. thankfully i got good family and friends to support me but who has kerry got NO ONE, her husband cant wait for her to go off the rails a bit so he could SECRETLY sell stories about her and there is no doudt in my mind that he planted this camera. i know that kerrys actions were wrong but people dont understand how low and depressed you feel, i can understand why kerry went down the path of taking cocaine because after taking it, it feels that all your problems and worrys are forgotten and you feel better, its like when you get a headache you take a paracemol to ease the pain. kerry just needs to be left alone, she needs help from supportive people before it gets to late,NON SUFFERERS are most probs reading this and thinking what the f*** . but they should really look closer to home as i bet there are faults within there own surroundings.

By stephie. Posted August 26 2009 at 5:03 PM.

i just think she needs to realise the sort of things the press will put upon her, and i think if she wants to get a good reputation back she needs to steer clear and keep her head down and then amazingly have a come back to show she can be a reliable mother and she can look after her self, and to not let the press twist what ever she does.
And too always keep positive and not have to rely on drink and drugs, she will eventually realise she doesnt need that sort of material to get through life.
i hope the best for her.

By rachel. Posted August 25 2009 at 11:25 PM.

I feel sorry for Kerry and think she should be left alone.
For someone who doesnt understand the hold drugs have on users lifes yes this video doesnt look good,but what kerry needs is help,not pulling and pushing down by people who simply do not understand. It is worse for people who are able to get there hands on money all the time like kerry because its always there,where as if you dont have the cash you cant get some stash and its easier to keep off it and surround your life with other stuff,finnaly you have the realisation that drugs are just not worth it.
To me it looks like kerrys realisation may not be far,but its just that it must be kerrys realisation not her familys or anyone that may think putting a camera in her bathroom then selling or giving the footage to the press a good idea,this person is not a good friend and I hope to god kerry finds out who did this to her and knows never again to put this indervidual anywhere around her family,herself,her home,and her life,people who sell out like this are the ones with a bigger problem than kerry has,and its called envy,jelousie,and twisted personality.
I wish Kerry and her family good luck for the future,and hope she has a speedy recovery with people she trusts around her.

By caroline. Posted August 25 2009 at 7:16 PM.

I think its disgusting the way he is going on and she has no excuses in the world for what she is doing, nobody has a perfect life but not everybody turns to drink and drugs and she cant blame the tabloids for making her look worse, she has noone to blame but herself she needs to go and sort herself out once and for all and then get shot of that husband of hers and spend some quality time bringing up her children in a caring and loving environment. (Anyone of those children could so easily get hold of them drugs left lying about her house) GET A GRIP AND SORT YOUR SELF OUT and be a MOTHER and then you will get a lot of respect from people x

What a real shame!! I have already lost one child through no fault of my own! She has 4 beautiful children, why the hell would you want to put them in any danger whatsoever? Selfish person!!!!!!!

By jo. Posted August 24 2009 at 7:41 PM.

Just leave her to it. It annoys me that someone like her takes up so much time in the media spotlight. How this woman won mum of the year is beyond me. Time to put the cow out to pasture and leave her there.

By Jason. Posted August 24 2009 at 4:11 PM.

kerry, please get help before your children find your drugs and take them or before social services take your children and before you have an accidental overdose. be strong, be a good mum to your children. they do not deserve this.

By louise brown. Posted August 24 2009 at 3:32 PM.

This is such a sad situation.kerry can't possiably function in this state.She needs to get clean to keep her children,otherwise she will lose them.Mark is a waste of space who spends her money and keeps her down at gutter level.you will manage to get well Kerry if you leave those who bring you down behind you.your babies need you to be their mum no the nanny.

We all make mistakes in life, we are reponsable for our actions but I can understand why and how you have arrived at this point in your life. History repeating it's self is a fact of life. Your surroundings and how you are brought up have a direct effect on how you think, act and judge others. Break the chain and kick the people that are feeding you this drug. Make a new start do something that will radicaly change your life for the better. Life is for the living and is to be enjoyed, you have four children that you have brought into this world and your first thought should be with them, fight for their safety even if this means you amiting that they are not in the safest place when they are with you, it may be a harsh reality but remember how you felt when you heard things or saw things in your past that directly effect how you act now. My heart goes out to you.... Take care

I would have never thort you would go back to this kerry you are goin to loose your kids and in a way i think you should because you are a un fit mother.i couldnt beleve it when i read the papers and i still cant but you need to get a grip...if you carry on like this you will loose everything what about your children and having coke when your children are home that is not at all in any respect ok!.. i didnt belive any of wat had been put in the papers about you but now im not sure...you need to sort your self out and fast befor you loose every thing and every one!!! x

By kat. Posted August 23 2009 at 5:06 PM.

By Kevin Skinner. Posted August 23 2009 at 12:21 PM.

I'd like to make comment in reply to Amanda Johnson.
Many, many people go through similar experiences and worse, but they deal with it and do not turn to illegal drug use. I have been to hell and back in the past and though I did not always cope well I never touched drugs. It is possible to cope with life in the real world no matter how painful.

I hope kerry gets better ive had a rough ride and im only young, its hard when you feel like you have no one...and the person she clung onto was mark and he took complete advantage of her, hes ruined her life and shes trying to get away from it by taking drugs and drinking she will get better.

By holly. Posted August 22 2009 at 2:32 PM.

Same old same old... whats next?... Say Sorry, Rehab, more deals more stories sold, = more money more drugs and so on .... these chavs are lucky that the tabloids give them space to earn the money, how they use it is up to those, she gets £2,100 in maintainance every month that is more than most people earn in a month, she needs to come back to the real world, then she won't be able to afford drugs.
THERE ARE NO EXCUSES, we are all responsible for ourselves, however, we don't all have the opportunities that some of these 'celebs' have, they need to wake up every day and thank God for what they have instead of assuming they can do what the hell they like and the public will forgive them for every thing that they do. I'm sick of reading about them.

By derek . Posted August 21 2009 at 7:46 PM.

come on guys, tabloids are not ruining her life, who is taking cocaine? the tabloids or her??? think about it. I hope Brian can take the kid's custody, because this is not good.

Now some here are saying that the tabloids are the problem, well NO!!! she is the one who has the problem, I won't care if she doesn't have kids, that's her life but she has kids and this is not a good model for them and every mother in the world! Poor Kerry she needs rehab and think about of her life and her kids!

By Marc. Posted August 21 2009 at 6:48 PM.

By the way, Tina, would you care to explain to me how God has anything to do with this? I bet Charles Darwin would be spinning in his grave about now. Is this the same God that presumably let her get into this situation in the first place? And Derek, oh righteous Del, how I admired your sarky tones when you suggested that anyone who dare judge your little princess (I think someone has a crush) must have a perfect life. Millions of us have been born into council homes (oh..the deprivation) and had it tough, and with a little bit of luck and some small effort on our own behalves, we have avoided the pitfalls of drug addiction and reality TV appearances that bring in untold wealth, and managed to achieve a modicum of success by working hard and showing compassion, love and good judgement. May I suggest we all look inwards for a while and seek guidance for our own judgements. On whose counsel we seek. On whose friendships we keep. And if you're struggling with your judgements Derek, then give Tina a call. She has someone who can help you. Katona. Grow up or shut up.

By Leonidas. Posted August 21 2009 at 6:14 PM.

I cant believe what I'm reading. Are the people writing with sympathy for Kerry Katona, on something themselves. For goodness sake she is supposed to be a roll model and a mother. As far as the tabloids ruining her life, I think she is doing a good enough job of that herself. She is in the public eye, she courts publicity when she agrees to have cameras following her, she cant just decide when and where it is ok. She should be ashamed of herself. What about the children recentlyb in the news because they were killed by abuse or neglect because one or both of their parents were tooo out of their faces on drugs to care. If she was a single mum from a council estate, you can bet social work would be involved and the children would have been taken from her long ago. Anybody can give birth or father a child, but it takes a special person to be a parent. If she wants her drugs, fine, but take the children from her and make sure their lives aren't ruined. She'sb the same person who bleats on about the terrible childhood she had, and is now doing the same thing to her children. I hope she'll be proud in about 10-15yrs when she reads her childrens stories in the newspapers about their dreadful childhood. (If she is lucky and nothing serious happens to them before that) Well done to Iceland for eventually having the gumption to get rid of her. More people should do the same and then perhaps when she no longer has an income, she might realise what she's doing and get a grip.

By Janice. Posted August 21 2009 at 6:04 PM.

I think people should back off an leave her alone,shes not the only 1 taking coke round d world,ye its wrong,but she needs help an support not being slagged off left,right and centre,i mean,come on,shes front page news for putting weight on like anyone really cares when theres wars going on around the world,at the end of the day shes a mother of 4 whos had a hard life an she came from nowere and made something of her life,give her a break,she seems a really nice and genuine person,who is lonely and needs support x

By Aimee mcminn. Posted August 21 2009 at 3:16 PM.

Everyone got problems some worse than Kerrie's but it not an excuse to behave like that especially when there is KIDS involved. She is an addict and out of control, unless she realises she needs help she will carry on. In the moment of crisis she takes drugs and does NOT care for her KIDS. She woulndt be in the right state to look after them. The Kids should be taken off her until she gets a grip of her own life. Doesnt mean in a Home, they have a Dad!!

By Bianca. Posted August 21 2009 at 12:36 PM.

why has no one mentioned that the most disturbing thing about this video is that someone recorded it?

surely the person who set the camera up should be prosecuted and sent to gaol?

It cannot be legal to record someone without their permission in their own home.

I love Kerry, I think she is awesome. For the amount of **** this young woman has been through in her life, I think she is doing incredibly well not to be taking far worse mind altering drugs to escape her living hell. All you holier than thou people need to walk a mile in her shoes before judging her or her actions. She could only wish that her life was as perfect as yours!!

By Amanda Johnson. Posted August 21 2009 at 12:24 AM.

Kerry, PLEASE get some help. You're doing the equivalent of going to a mechanic instead of a doctor with your broken leg; i.e. coke's NOT GOING TO SOLVE ANYTHING.
Thank God I have never taken drugs and i do not condone taking them but I also wish such tabloid papers would get the evidence and show it to theindividual TO HELP THEM as opposed to selling it to all and sundry, causing further resentment and distress to someone like Kerry.
Her kids NEED HER, she needs herself. Come on tabloids, let's help to build people up and raise their esteem instead of revelling in knocking them down.
Use your money to get some solid counselling, therapy and rehabilitation Kerry.

By Jay. Posted August 21 2009 at 12:37 AM.

She clearly has issues but things could be worse. She doesn't need to be slagged off.. How does that help anything? Personally, I think there are worse things she could be doing. It's not like she's a heroin addict...Personally, I think she'd probably be worse if she was smoking pot. At least that drug keeps you alert and sharp. I don't mean to sound like i agree with it but I DO think there are worse things that she could have done after all she's been through. I am still a fan Kerry. You still have most of our support. Forget the others.

By Kate. Posted August 20 2009 at 11:34 PM.

I feel very sorry for her, it must be an awful life having such an addiction and i wish te instead of criticism that ppl give her the support that she needs to get better. She is obviously ill and all of us slatin her is not exactly gonna help...did it help after the ´this morning´fiasco?no...she needs real help. just like britney and all the other unfortunates that are in the limelight too young or have had a crap childhood. i blame her mam and all the crap men that have been in her life. wonder how long itl take brian to jump on the bandwagon and speak out in the papers, ye cos hes such a perfect father...remind me what continent he lives on again? haha maybe he´ll do sumtin really useful like say hes gona have kids taken off her for his mam to bring up again, ye cos thats what little girls want, to be serparated from their siblings and moved to another country to be minded by their granny...and yet he looks down on her...the girl is strugglin we can all see that but u no what at least shes tryin! and puttin her kids in care is gonna do nothing except give her kids the awful childhood that she had. please cant ppl be nice and offer her some real help, rem that girl we all saw in the jungle?well ppl that girl is still hidden in there somewhere, shes just a little lost...lets helpo her find her way

By Kim. Posted August 20 2009 at 11:50 PM.

bad enough that she does it and does it with her kids in the house but to have it sitting openly like that is disgusting.

this loser deserves to have her kids taken away from her.

By cd. Posted August 20 2009 at 6:12 PM.

Kerry,

Please get yourself to rehab and learn to realise that you deserve more for yourself and your children than what you currently have.

Drugs only mask the problem and even then, they do not mask them well.

Please, please get some help.

By Suzy. Posted August 20 2009 at 6:04 PM.

what a lovely thing for a certain person to do to Kerry ! she needs help and its time she got it !


By oates. Posted August 20 2009 at 3:06 PM.

Kerry's children need to be taken off her while she gets help and treatment, she obviously doesn't have the coping mechanisms to deal with her recent issues. The girl is obviously in denial about her husband. I do feel sorry for Kerry but she really needs to pull her socks up, grab life by the short and curlies and be the wonderful mother we all know she can be. The first step can be the hardest, but Kerry can do it. In relation to her so-called husband..well, there's no point in flogging a dead horse! Kerry can do so much better, she just needs to realise she doesn't NEED him as she thinks she does.
Best of luck Kerry....

By anon. Posted August 20 2009 at 1:39 PM.

How on earth does a camera get set up in your own bathroom to film you taking drugs without you knowing?.

This is all a set-up, but it would be foolish for Kerry to have done it herself for publicity as she is at risk of losing her children. Personally I would say the blame lies with a certain controlling taxi driving husband. The majority of celebritys have minor drug/drink problems its a known fact in the industry. However Kerry Katona is going to end up losing everything, her children, family and home and maybe worse if things carry on.

Before she seeks any help with a drug habit she needs to get rid of Mark Croft, he is no good for her and is ruining her life.

By Anonymous. Posted August 20 2009 at 1:48 PM.

I think she is a tad overweight.

By Samantha Augusta. Posted August 20 2009 at 7:47 AM.

just go back to topless shoots pls...:P

By mandy. Posted August 20 2009 at 2:53 AM.

give this girl a break she needs help and everyone she turns too sells storys, who could blame her with her up bring and if that wasn't bad enough the man she fell in love with who she had 2 kids with left her, lets rebember the kerry who was married too brian, she was sooo in love, happy and mother of the year and queen of the jugle thats the kerry we loved. i think kerry needs to leave mark i dont think he loves her hes only there for the money hes a prick if you ask me shes very pretty and can get someone better looking and treats her the way she should be. hope you get well soon kerry and dont let all this shit in the papers get you down be strong and think of urself and kids. good luck xxx

By kelly. Posted August 20 2009 at 1:16 AM.

Ok, so who put the camera there???

By kris. Posted August 20 2009 at 12:33 AM.

i think if any woman would say kids r better with there dads ,when there mum wants them r mad,so what she is not perfect can you blame her the up bringing she has had,give the girl a break ,she has nobody to turn to cause everybody she gets close to wants to sell a story,so lets not foget we all buy the papers to read about it!

By tina. Posted August 19 2009 at 11:01 PM.

i feel so sorry for you keri, i know you have made some mitakes and the only advice i have for you is please start praying to God and seek for the right path and God will show you the light.take care and good luck.

By ley. Posted August 19 2009 at 11:08 PM.

Dear Kerry,

The most important people are YOU and your children. You are ill. Please try try to get yourself well pet. Then can I ask you to live a life with YOU and your lovely children. Try to get clean, happy on your own and then just you and your children. Dont depend on men for your happiness, its within yourself Kerry. You will need a lot of help for this to happen but please please kerry my pet, do what it takes. I am a big fan of yours. I am an irish woman in my 60's. I will pray for you. Take care, lots of love and a big huge hug pet xxxxx


By ann. Posted August 19 2009 at 3:57 PM.

It's fine for everyone to say that Brian should take his kids but what about the 2 youngest who are unfortunate to have a waste of space for a dad. Come on Kerry, sort yourself out, you picked yourself after Brian cheated on you and even when he left you, you can do it again. You don't need men like these sponging off you anymore, you can be a great mother again

By Katie. Posted August 19 2009 at 12:11 PM.

It is a shame her life has come to this but, she only has herself to blame. There are a lot of people who have had a hard life but they don't turn to drugs, she should have the kids taken off her and get the help she clearly needs and good on Iceland about time.

By linda. Posted August 19 2009 at 8:21 AM.

Everyone tries it, but kerry u have children! To go on like thaat when ur young free n single is somehow acceptable, but u have four children at home! What kinda of life is is for them to see their mum wasted??

By Laura. Posted August 19 2009 at 9:08 AM.

Why does Brian just not take his children away from her once and for all. I am fed up of hearing him repeatedly saying, I am seeking legal advice. Obviously he seems to be paying lip service and taking very little action. If he took his children Kerry would have to then prove to the courts that she is drug free before they are returned. Kerry needs to get a grip and keep that low life lazy sponger Mark out of her life. Why she feels the need to have a man in her life until she is clean and healthy is beyond common sense. Maybe now she seems to be not earning any money he will leave her alone.

By Elizabeth Moore. Posted August 19 2009 at 9:15 AM.

Seriously she is not the only person to have had a hard time in life but not every1 carries on like her, she has four lovely healthy kids a nice home (apart from the drugs and husband) and had a decent paying job (iceland contract she screwed up) how many allowances does she want made for her behaviour.


By Karen. Posted August 19 2009 at 2:06 AM.

oh kez, i wish everyone would just leave you alone, i hope everything starts looking up for you, i watched all your mtv shows, and i didn't belive this story till i saw it... i don't know what to say i hope you don't loose the kids as it will probley destory you, get off the drugs kez, i am still a fan!! Don't listen or care what press say do whats best for you!! thinking of you kerry :) x

By tracey. Posted August 19 2009 at 12:22 AM.

Bad times people bad times. It doesn't make for nice viewing, and yes who the hell would set her up like that! Can't say I'm a fan on hers but she clearly needs help.

By Claire. Posted August 18 2009 at 7:18 PM.

These are the people we adore, we pay money to see them, we watch them on TV, we try to dress like them, walk like them suddenly we hate them. I have never been a celeb, might never be one, but I really wonder what's it's like to live the way these people do. Not taking drugs!! I mean the ups and downs what make's them really go off the rail....Watching that video is clear reminder that these people are all made up, some are genuine and many found themselves thrown into the spot light, fame and when things start going wrong they turn to substance abuse. Because its too much for them to handle, it has to be perfect all the time and if its not then disaster sets in. Who knows maybe this video might save her life and that of the people around her.

By John Doe. Posted August 18 2009 at 3:47 PM.

Forget about the fact she used to be a star, so what she is still just a person. Why the hell is this known drug addict being alowed to keep her children. She just leaves the drugs laying about, if her kids find it and take it they will end up dead. Snap out of it and police and social please get those kids off her before something terrible happens to them.

By d. Posted August 18 2009 at 3:46 PM.

oh kerry,
I am so disspaointed to see this video! I am/was a huge fan of yours. But i am afraid u have completely changed my oppinion of you i hope you will sort yourself out kerry not for your fans sake for Your 4 beautiful CHILDRENS sake x

By louise. Posted August 18 2009 at 12:29 PM.

You are in the limelight as a young adult loads of media attention you find yourself a with someone from one of the biggest boy bands we have seen and then after only a few months you get pregnant then you get married have another child and life is fantastic you have more than you have ever dreamed of. You go in the jungle and win you are on a high. Then the guy leaves you for some aussie bird and the spotlight is just on your shoulders all alone your mum, friends and other family members sell stories to the papers. Who the hell woould be able to cope with this. Even though she is married again she still has no one that she can trust someone to lean on she is talking all this on her very own shoulders and not coping. I feel so sorry for her she can't even turn to firends for support because she has been burnt so many times in the past. Who planted the camera a friend, a family member, a member of staff. Poor Poor Woman my heart goes out to you. Please get some help Kerry there are so many people who want to see you get through this!!!

By Kelly. Posted August 18 2009 at 12:25 PM.

This is just so sad. This poor girl clearly needs some support from genuine people. Her self esteem must be rock bottom. I hope we dont watch a media circus running her down and then when the inevitable self destruction happens they all come out saying how sad it was- just like they did about Jade Goody. Kerry needs to get out of the public eye and look after herself- I wish her a happy recovery

By Amanda. Posted August 18 2009 at 1:56 PM.

She is an absolute disgrace to every genuine bi-polar sufferer out there. Her high and low mood swings are from cocaine not an illness. She is scum and i hope brian gets custody of those poor kids

By linda. Posted August 18 2009 at 11:38 AM.

she is just as bad as her mother,cheap and nasty.caught red handed.ive been watching her program and she is lazy,dnt do nothing with her kids,everything left to the nannie.brian should get his two girls,and the two little ones taken away from her.she should also be axe from the tv full stop.i used to like her and felt sorry for her,but not any more.

By maria hardy. Posted August 18 2009 at 11:35 AM.

Everyone has at least one vice, this is Kerry's.

It has been overly hyped up in this article, dragging the kids into view so she is seen as an incompetent parent.

Kerry lives in the real world, most comments directed towards her are from fantasist's or busy bodies.

By Jamie Welton. Posted August 18 2009 at 10:37 AM.

This woman makes me sick. I've never known what to believe but after seeing her MTV show, I wanted to believe she was just a normal mum. One thing I always noticed is that she never spent any time with her kids. She was always locked in her bedroom and wouldnt come out. Now it makes sense as to why her bedroom door is locked and why she stays in there. Also Mark commented on the show how she's just go off to a hotel for a night to 'clear her head' or to sleep in epace. Well I now dont believe that either, it's obvious she'd go and just get off her face. She needs help and I do feel sorry for her, but kids should not be brought up by a nanny while their mum is getting off her face on coke. I hope Brian wakes up and takes his kids before they see any of this.

I'll never believe anything she ever says again.

By Kate . Posted August 18 2009 at 10:27 AM.

If every celebrity that took drugs had their children taken from them, very few of them would have their kids...think about it - it's a culture amongst the rich, they have to get drugged up to escape their miserable lives...selfish the whole lot of them.

By Jennifer. Posted August 18 2009 at 10:26 AM.

Does anyone really care? I certainly don't. Infact, that's a lie, I do, maybe now Iceland (the shop not the country) have seen sense, the great and poor unwashed will now have less 'heroes' to follow into their favourite food outlets :)

By William Gill Anton Farquar. Posted August 18 2009 at 9:58 AM.

maybe if she actually spent time with her kids n got outta bed to say hi to em now n then, instead of the nanny doin all the work she might b to busy to become a drug addict n keep her mind off the 'bipolar' that shes always bangin on about like shes the only one to ever suffer. Just sort it out kerry theres so much more better u could b doin wiv ure life start by gettin rid of that, i might not no him or u but u just have to look any man who really loves u would not do the things he does n act like he does n not say the things he does, nasty man if anythings messing her up its him.

By gem. Posted August 18 2009 at 9:03 AM.

Sorry if this has been asked before but who was filming this? A bit odd really. Yes she is really cheap, etc but who the hell would set her up like this?

By Rock. Posted August 18 2009 at 2:00 AM.

Why does everyone think that the best thing for Kerry's children is to send them to live elsewhere, away from their familiar daily surroundings, meanwhile breaking the strong attachments they have formed with their mother and thus leaving them to have to imagine the traumas their mother may be going through, rather than being able to be there alongside her as she is helped through recovery.
Kerry will have support, as all families in crisis do, and should have every opportunity to move forward without the additional trauma of losing her children, and they would not necessarily be better off for being removed. Thus far, Kerry's parenting has not been called into question other than in her drug and alcohol use. I do not for one second wish to suggest that her actions are ok, I simply think that we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that Kerry is a popular woman because she presents as kind and warm, and open about many of the struggles she has faced. An addict is an addict in whatever form, and it is an illness. We should try to remember that before we judge her for her denial over the last few years and her actions. I imagine her life has probably been pretty scary for quite some time. I hope for a peaceful and calm future for her and her family. x

By Claire Alison. Posted August 18 2009 at 1:26 AM.

The main priority here are the 2 children. What a disgrace this is! You cannot defend the indefensible and that's what this is and it is not in isolation.

By AussieKaz. Posted August 18 2009 at 1:36 AM.

Is there any validation of WHEN this footage was taken, because she looks a whole LOT SKINNIER in the video (like she was when right after she had that surgery) than she does currently.....!!

By Marie. Posted August 18 2009 at 1:33 AM.

weve all done it had a bad day, she just get caught on the telly or camea or what ever, give here a break whoes pefect
