Bringer-of-public-attention-to-two-lasagnes-for-the-price-of-one Kerry Katona has finally come clean about her battle with addiction to drink and drugs, in her forthcoming autobiography, to be titled Too Much Too Young. Having repeatedly denied in the past that she had ever used drugs, Kerry has now admitted that she turned to intoxicants in the aftermath of her painful split from ex-Westlifer Brian McFadden.
Closer magazine quotes Kerry as saying "Drink and drugs provided a mask for me to hide behind. They meant I could pretend to be the bubbly Kerry who everyone loved." Perhaps, in the circumstances, "bubbly" is an unfortunate choice of word. Kerry, who is expecting her third child, is now clean and has cut back on both her drinking and smoking. Credit where it's due, but cutting back is not a good way to give up. [Toni Kelly]
