Every now and again TV gives us a beautiful and tragic car crash moment. From Tara PT on Frank Skinner to Heather Mills McCartney on GMTV, it’s with a transfixed horror that you watch a celebrity crash and burn in front of your eyes.
Anyone who watched Kerry Katona: Crazy In Love on MTV would have already witnessed the true nature of Kerry smoking and drinking her way through pregnancy, occasionally making time to buy her husband Mark yet another new car or to get upset over yet another story about her antics in the press. However, her appearance on This Morning today took it to a whole new level.
If you haven’t yet seen the full horror, take a look at the video below. Now I don’t know if Kerry was sober or not, but you can see why it may be doubted. Also pay particular attention to the interview technique used by Phil and Fern. It’s like a kindly uncle and aunt staging an intervention. Every single question takes about half an hour of flattery before getting to its brutal point [for example implying that she is an alcoholic], before apologising and pointing out how lovely she looked.
My favourite moment is when Kerry protests after Phil says she has changed over the last few years and he bluntly replies: ‘Oh no Kerry you have.’ Too true, too true. However, strangely enough it’s the best advert her new show MTV could have hoped for.
