Kerry Katona snorts cocaine every day to deal with marriage failure pain

Kerry Katona has turned to drugs to blot out the pain of her failing marriage to Mark Croft, it has emerged.

According to a pal, the former Atomic Kitten star is snorting life-threatening mounds of cocaine everyday, reports the News of the World.

The pal said that the mother of four young children star also binges on amphetamines and anti-depressants.

And their destructive relationship has taken her to the brink of suicide as well, the pal added.

Katona told friends: “Cocaine is the only way I can function. It’s the only way I can get this sorted.”

A pal said: “Kerry is completely addicted to drugs. It is worse than ever and she is close to the edge. She takes them all day every day. She simply can’t cope without her fix.”

Katona, previously outed as a cocaine-user by her own mother Sue, claimed that she has been clean of drugs since she recovered from her split with former husband Brian McFadden, the father of her eldest children Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six.

However, friends have revealed she has been dependent on cocaine since June last year following the death of her stepdad Arnie Ferrier.

One said: “When he died it really affected her and she turned to drugs then. It’s tragic. Kerry doesn’t have an off button.”

Pals revealed Katona’s cocaine intake rocketed earlier this month after a confrontation with Croft about her financial situation.

Kerry Katona to Get Her Boob Job Filmed

Pop singer Kerry Katona will get her boob job filmed for a reality show.

The 27-year-old singer's operation will be filmed for the MTV reality show Whole Again. Katona also said that she wouldn't be having any more plastic surgery, just the boob reduction.

"They have just got a bit out of control. I want to go to a DD. I'll stop there," the Mirror quoted her as saying.

Meanwhile, the former Atomic Kitten' group member claims that she's not bankrupt, even though she was declared so by London's High Court last week. She insists that the order is set to be annulled this week as the money is available, but just hadn't cleared in time for the deadline set by the authorities.

Katona had managed to reduce her 417,000 pounds tax bill to 82,000 pounds, but HM Revenue and Customs pressed ahead with the bankruptcy petition, which was first issued in January.

"Obviously I'm upset about it but it shouldn't have happened. I've been promised that it will be sorted out this week," she told Star magazine.

Katona also dismissed claims that her taxi driver husband Mark Croft was simply with her to sponge off her wealth.

"What's wrong with a woman being the main breadwinner? It's sexism. People have got it in their heads that he's bleeding me dry and just after my money," she said.
