Kerry Katona: The Afterbirth

Kerry Katona and husband Mark CroftFollowing her crazy reality series, Kerry looks back, facing tough questions on drugs, her husband, and the death of her step dad.

But the biggest question of all comes first: why on Earth did she do it?

"I think I wanted people to see the real me and Mark," says Kerry, who seems to be assuming that 'people' care: "But I don't think we came across very well."

Well, she got that one right.

Kerry Katona: Crazy In Love was a series that saw the I'm A Celebrity... winners popularity plummet, resulting in her being voted the fourth most hated person in Britain. As Kerry hopefully points out: "At least I'm popular."

We don't think she got the point.

'People' were put off by her mood swings, flatulence, and constant bickering with husband Mark. And he didn't come across as the most sympathetic of characters either. Stories of his alleged affairs flooded the tabloids, who branded him a golddigger, but the couple maintain that they're still going strong.

This was unpleasant but obsessive viewing in its purest form, 'people' still couldn't help but tune in and wait for the inevitable car crash to happen.

The car crash came with the broadcast of the birth of fourth child Max, hence the downright offensive title of this one-off special which sees Kerry do nothing but defend her actions and those of her husband.

We're not without sympathy for Kerry. A mother who happily sells stories to the tabloids, a frustrating mental health disorder and the unfortunate death of her step father, there's little doubt that she deserves a break.

But the heart-string tugging doesn't quite excuse Kerry's sins. She seems genuine enough in putting her point of view across, and we'd like to believe it, but this lass knows how to play the media game.
