Kerry Katona admits she ‘wanted to kill myself’ after infamous 2008 This Morning appearance and brands it ‘the number one car crash interview ever’

by

Kerry Katona openly shared that following her controversial interview on This Morning in 2008, which left a deep impact, she felt the urge to take her own life.

The well-known broadcast figure, aged 45, faced allegations of intoxication due to her repeated slurring during a conversation. Later, she disclosed that this was actually a side effect from her treatment for bipolar disorder.

Previously known Atomic Kitten band member shared that after a widely talked-about interview, she experienced a state of intense worry or fear, similar to panic.

As a seasoned lifestyle guide, I must share a personal anecdote from my conversation with Paul C. Brunson on his “We Need To Talk” podcast. In the midst of our captivating exchange, I confessed: “For me, ITV served as a cherished home, a source of comfort and stability that I deeply appreciated. However, in that decisive instant, I experienced an overwhelming sense of panic.

To this day, I firmly believe that car crash interview was unparalleled, and nothing has surpassed it – until Prince Andrew gave his interview. It’s as if they took my number one spot in an epic way.

As I approached my home, feelings of self-destruction arose due to the hostility I felt from my neighbors. There were news crews and photographers present, adding to my distress. I couldn’t help but question what I had done wrong, yet I found myself at the peak of an unpleasant period in that era, marked by condemnation.

In the course of the interview, Kerry mentioned that she felt disrespected when host Philip Schofield inquired about her slurred speech, even after she clarified it was due to her medication, rather than assuming she wasn’t feeling well.

Philip inquired, “It appears to me that something might be off. Your speech seems a little slurred at the moment. How are you feeling now?” or simply, “Philip noticed something seemed unusual, as your speech was slurred. How are you doing now?

Later, Kerry assured everyone emphatically that she was perfectly well and perhaps never felt better or more content than at that moment. She attributed this positive state to her current medication.

After facing harsh criticism following her interview, the singer found herself contemplating suicide, yet she acknowledged that her kids provided the strength she needed to persevere.

Previously, Kerry discussed the interview in a segment of Slingo’s Getting Lippy Gossip Show. She mentioned that instead of being recognized for her professional accomplishments, she eventually gained more notoriety due to her struggles or setbacks.

The original star of Atomic Kitten, now 42, reminisced: “Following my appearance on This Morning, people seemed to think I had committed a crime. Yet, I still can’t fathom what it was that I had supposedly done so badly?

I’ve undergone speech therapy, and due to this, I struggle with a condition often referred to as ‘lazy tongue.’ Coupled with my ADHD and unique speaking style, I sometimes find it challenging to articulate words correctly.

After taking the medication you prescribed, my speech became somewhat unclear, and I found myself thinking, “Wow, here I am, this and that.

Concurrently, Paolo Magaglione, Kerry’s newer companion, has spoken out against claims suggesting he craves fame, as they both expressed delight in their blossoming relationship on Monday.

In a more casual and straightforward manner: A well-known television personality, aged 45, encountered their new love interest, a personal trainer of 33 years old, on the show “Celebs Go Dating”. The series started shooting in April.

Since the airing of the show, the couple’s relationship has continued to grow and thrive, as they are said to have moved in together just two months after meeting. Moreover, Kerry is rumored to have proudly declared that their intimate life together is simply extraordinary.

Yet, the significant age difference between them, their encounter on a reality show, and the swift progression of their romance have led certain fans to suspect that Paolo might be pursuing fame, rather than genuine feelings.

However, the pair firmly asserted their authentic relationship by recording a video on Instagram, responding to fans’ queries regarding their romance.

Kerry’s daughter Heidi announced the questions to the pair, noticeably flinching at a remark that stated: ‘I appreciate this, but it seems like Paolo might be enjoying the limelight excessively – potential warning signs.’

In a witty tone, Heidi remarked, “Oh, he really wants to be famous,” to which Paolo humorously consented. Afterward, Kerry gently kissed him on the forehead in a show of affection.

Afterward, the performer dismissed the claim, remarking: “In truth, he has been even more encouraging towards me, as my struggles with this matter have been greater than his.

Besides refuting the allegation, Paolo added, “I believe, and I hope when others witness our bond and who we truly are, they will comprehend. It’s all quite straightforward, really – nothing more than that camaraderie.” Isn’t it?

Kerry was equally enthusiastic about their relationship, expressing that she’d never felt happier before and commending the unique charm that Paolo and his two daughters added to her household.

Displaying open affection with her new partner, she exclaimed: “I’ve never been this content or fulfilled before in my life. It feels like I’ve found everything and even more than I ever desired in someone.” To which Paolo concurred, expressing his agreement: “Indeed, I feel the same way too.

Although the member of Atomic Kitten once expressed reservations about their age difference, she later stated emphatically that it no longer bothers her, expressing a sentiment similar to: ‘No, I don’t find it problematic anymore. You’re only as old as you feel when you’re with the right person!’
