Kat made it clear that she knows what it's like to be "dirt poor," but didn't let her kids walk around in "rags."

A fuming Stacey yelled: "How dare you. You don't know the lengths I've gone to to be around for my kids today."

Kat chimed in: "You're lucky to have me. Your kids deserve more than this pity party."

Another wrote: "Jean in a way was right - Stacey should be grateful that Kat is helping her out. I don't like how Kat has used Phil's money to help the Slaters but she's skint herself and using his money in itself is risk she's had to take."
