Kerry Katona reveals Victoria Beckham’s touching gesture to her amid marriage nightmare
KERRY Katona has revealed Victoria Beckham’s touching gesture to her amid her marriage nightmare.
The former Atomic Kitten singer, 42, married ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden back in 2002.
But as their marriage crumbled, Kerry has shared that Victoria was there for her.
After their recent Beckham documentary landed on Netflix, she wrote in a column with New Magazine: “I think it’s so great that Victoria and David Beckham are speaking out and giving an insight into their lives with their new Netflix documentary.
“I’ve not seen it yet, since I’ve been away, but they’re so genuine and it makes people like them more when they’re honest.
“The show has dug up a lot of the 2003 affair allegations for David, which I know was so tough for them at the time.

“I’ll never forget when Brian left me and there was so much media attention on me and him, it was so awful.
“Victoria Beckham called from Spain to check on me because she understood how it felt to have all the attention.
“She then sent me a bottle of Champagne, and I’d only met her once before that. It was so lovely.”
Kerry has since watched the docuseries, and started bawling after she’d seen it.

Kerry has discussed the moment her ex Brian cheated on her with a stripper - before asking her for a divorce.
The pair divorced back in 2006, with Kerry now emotionally revealing details of how they ended.
Speaking to Ellie McKay's podcast, Katona revealed Brian went AWOL for three days.
She recalled: "I remember I was doing a TV show called With a Little Help from My Friends and I was in England.
"Normally when me and Brian were away from each other we call each other 17 times a day.
"Three days had gone by and I kept thinking 'why's he not answering? I don't understand what's going on'.
"And he finally phoned me, I said 'I've been dead worried, what's the matter where have you been', and he said 'I want a divorce'."
