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.

The best '90s drinks
1 of 10Hooch
Hooch, our introduction to alcopops, was launched in 1995 and at the height of its popularity sold a staggering 2.5 million bottles each week in Britain. We were particularly fond of the orange one. Hooch is still available in the supermarket and on Amazon in lemon and a frankly vile looking pink in 24 packs. We still would.
2 of 10Archers peach schnapps
There was a time when an Archers and lemonade was considered the peak of sophistication, in the circles we mixed in at least.Though we haven't tried it for years, it's probably still very acceptable. Why not try it and let us know how it slips down?
3 of 10Cinzano Bianco
If all that Archers got a bit too sickly, it was time for the bitter tang of a Cinzano. It's still widely available today and, at £7 for a 70cl bottle, it's our new old favourite drink.
4 of 10Two Dogs
The daddy of alcopops, Two Dogs was launched in 1993 and, as we remember, was kinda bitter. Our extensive research (looked in Tesco) suggests that Two Dogs is no longer available. Gone, but forever in our hearts.
5 of 10Mad Dog 2020
Everyone's drinking in parks right now, but we remember doing it years before lockdown. And Mad Dog 2020, the blue one for preference, was every discerning late teen drinkers' tipple of choice. Somehow, it's still available, in a pack of two 75cl bottles from Amazon, but we think we'll pass, thanks.
6 of 10Diamond White cider
We remember drinking this from dinky little bottles which in no way detracted from the filthy taste of what must be the rankest cider every made.You can still buy it but would you want to?
£24.46 for 24 500ml cans
7 of 10Reef
Reef wasn't fizzy, which basically made it like Sunny Delight.It doesn't seem to be available any more which is probably a good thing.
8 of 10Taboo
What even was Taboo? A...spirit drink? A fortified wine? Honestly, we don't know but we do know it used to slip down a treat with lemonade. Not, alas, available anymore.
9 of 10Glen's vodka
A small bottle of Glen's was a staple at our teen parties and is probably why we hate vodka to this day. From memory, tastes the same coming up as going down. Still available.
10 of 10Buckfast
We don't even know why we drank this stuff, it tasted like a foul mixture of cough syrup and Red Bull ud83eudd22. Originating in Scotland, Buckfast was the drink that encouraged the most undesirable behaviour (seriously, why did we drink it?) only for the drinker to claim, "Bucky made me do it," as an excuse the morning after. Despite popular rumours that this concoction had been banned by the government you can still buy it, apparently.
WATCH ‘That’s weird!’ What has Curtis Pritchard been messaging AJ’s girlfriend?!
“As for calling me a monster, well!!! I know I’m loud, I know I’m not the most well-spoken person, I know I’m not as well educated as Mr Tarrant… but to call me a monster! And I know I DID NOT upset anyone, I had a lovely time that evening.”

She added, “Please bare in mind that this was 10 years ago, so I’m not too sure why he’s doing a interview about it now.”
Kerry’s fans rushed to show their support with one saying, “When I worked at the airport he was the rudest celebrity I ever met ♥️”.
“They just need a story to sell its quite sad but you keep being your glorious life loving self, darling!” said another, while a third wrote, “He must be looking for a bit of attention.”
