Kerry Katona risks feud as she backs Amanda Holden to take Holly Willoughby’s job on This Morning

KERRY Katona has hit out at Holly Willoughby and backed Amanda Holden to take her job on This Morning.

Last week Holly, 42, divided viewers with her live statement on the controversy surrounding her former co-host .

And Kerry, also 42, didn't hold back when it came to sharing her opinion.

She said: "I thought Holly’s speech about Phil on This Morning last week was an absolute load of sh*te.

";It was awful. I felt it was so staged, so rehearsed, so heartless, so soulless. People want realness."

Writing in her column, former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry added: "No one believes Holly anymore.

"I have nothing against her at all, but as a viewer, I just don’t think it’s working any more. If it was up to me, I’d like Amanda Holden and Rylan to present it."

It comes after Kerry hit out at This Morning following her troubling interview with Phillip in 2008.

In an interview with The Sun, Kerry admitted the “fallout” from the interview left her feeling like she’d “killed somebody”.

She said she’s got “nothing against Phillip” because they’ve since “kissed and made up”, but slammed the “aftercare” she claims she did not receive from ITV. 

“I'm not jumping on the bandwagon or putting Phillip down,” Kerry explained.

"What he's done, it is wrong, and I know there's a lot more to come, but for me, it's the overall care with people, the snobbery at ITV.

"I've definitely got PTSD from that interview, 100 per cent, because of the fallout, the aftermath of it. You'd think I'd killed somebody!"

Phil was given the chop from the ITV daytime show last month, after lying about an affair with a much younger runner.
