hubby mark defends kerry’s behaviour

Posted: 23rd October, 2008

Kerry Katona’s This Morning interview is really the talk of the town today.

Despite Kerry’s publicist Max Clifford saying he was ‘increasingly concerned’ for the former pop star, Kerry’s hubby Mark Croft has released a statement defending his wife’s behaviour.

Mark insists Kerry’s slurred speech was down to her medication for her bipolar depression which has side effects of ‘drowsiness’.

‘Kerry did attempt to explain this to Fern and Phil and is extremely offended that they continued to question her further, despite seeing her obvious distress at their ongoing line of questioning,’ said Mark to MTV News.

Mark adds that he and Kerry are ‘incredibly upset’ by the accusations that she was drunk or on drugs, saying that she had not drunk anything except tea before the show.

‘We feel that forcing Kerry to explain her drinking on a recent holiday was totally unreasonable,’ says Mark. ‘She has always considered herself a friend of the show and appeared in good faith to talk about how positive she was feeling about her appearance. Kerry left the show feeling very upset about her treatment by Fern and Phil.

‘Kerry appreciated and understands the concerns that have arisen from her appearance but would like to reassure everyone that this was due to side effects of her medication. We hope this ends the ongoing speculation about her health.’

Somehow we doubt this is the end….We wonder what ex-hubby Bryan McFadden has to say about this.
