Kerry Katona brands Atomic Kitten bandmate a ‘toxic c***’ and slams Gemma Collins as a ‘nobody’ during shocking ‘drunken’ meltdown
KERRY Katona shocked fans last night by slurring her words, slamming other celebrities and swearing her way through a public performance in Manchester.
She called Atomic Kitten bandmate Natasha Hamilton a “toxic c***” and asked the crowd “who the f*** is Gemma Collins?” before joking about her kids being babysat by social services.
In the onstage rant, she also made references to her bankruptcy and tried to hurry the show up because she was “only being paid until midnight”.
Kerry also tried to hurry along her fellow judges and said she was desperate to leave, adding: “Will you hurry up, I haven't got all f*****g night. I've only been paid until 12 o clock. You've got ten minutes left, for f***'s sake. I thought I could talk."
“Social services are babysitting my kids, for f***s sake.” It was a joke - as Kerry had revealed earlier in the night on Instagram that her kids were at home with her mum.
When another judge offered her “an Atomic Kitten critique – lose the ginger!” Kerry shot back: “I’m not being funny, Atomic Kitten – I always saw her as Toxic C***.”
She went on to joke that the organisers had turned off her mic “like Liz and Tash used to” and that she couldn’t sing.
She also attempted to lead a singalong to Tide Is High and asked the crowd: “Who the f*** is Gemma Collins?” - who was the club's original choice to host before she fell down a hole onstage at the Radio One Teen Awards.
“It was really shocking,” an onlooker at the drag competition at Kiki in Manchester told The Sun Online.
“As a fan, I found it really sad. She seemed to be struggling to stay alert at some points and kept swigging from a clear bottle underneath the table – it looked like water but she didn’t seem sober. She didn’t seem to be able to focus on what was happening and kept getting lost.
“There were some uncomfortable moments where she was joking about her kids – the crowd were booing her at some points.”
Other fans took to Twitter to say: “Kerry Katona is Kerry Katona’d” and “Queen of making everyone in Kiki hate her”.
However, it looks like Kerry had a good night – she Instagrammed a photo at the venue, captioned “having fun!”
