SEE VIDEO Kerry Katona: I'm not a cokehead

I'm A Celebrity star defends GMTV interview

Wednesday, 24 October 2007

Kerry Katona has hit back at critics who claim that she's still on drugs.

The ex-Atomic kitten, who is 12 weeks pregnant with her fourth child, insists that her erratic behaviour during a recent GMTV interview was caused by depression.

'It's the bi-polar. I'm often up and down. I think that's why some people think I'm on coke,' she tells the Daily Mirror.

Kerry, 27, confesses to abusing cocaine after her break-up with ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden.

'I got f***** up off my head on coke when Brian left me,' she says. 'The only way I could get help was by going to rehab, and that's what I did.

'But I'm still getting criticised for it. All I ever read is "Kerry's a cokehead!"'

The I'm A Celebrity star admits she still has one ongoing addiction - to nicotine.

Kerry can't quit smoking, even though she's expecting her fourth child.

'I'm trying my best to give up but I wouldn't say I've totally quit.'
