In the celebrity crossover news we never knew we needed, Kerry Katona has hit out at former Who Wants to be a Millionaire? host Chris Tarrant after he gave an interview calling her “gobby”.
Taking to Instagram to share a screenshot of the headline from a major tabloid paper, Kerry called him out over calling her “a monster” and claiming she “upset everyone”.
“Wow! Honestly I was soooo excited about meeting Mr Chris Tarrant,” she wrote alongside the image.
“I remember going up to him at a Golfing event in Marbella, and he said “why are you so gobby and common” amongst other things. Honestly on my children’s lives he was really unpleasant, so much so I went to the bathroom and cried.
