Kerry Katona furiously denies taking drugs in defiant statement


Kerry Katona has had quite a wild party past, but she's a changed woman these days and barely drinks alcohol now. In her column this week is at pain's to point out that she was not 'drunk ' or 'on drugs' in the Insta video she posted following a fun night celebrating Hugh Grant's birthday, attended by other celebrities including Liz Hurley and her son Damien, according to the Mail.

The star also sends her best wishes to radio DJ Jamie Theakston during his cancer battle, after he revealed he had throat cancer, reminiscing on the show they worked on together. And the former Atomic Kitten star spills the beans on the glitzy charity event she attended in London with daughter, Heidi - and the incredible piece of pop memorabilia she won at the auction that night.

Love to Jamie

I’m sending all my love and prayers to Jamie Theakston after his throat cancer diagnosis. Cancer is such an awful thing for anyone to have to go through and I’m so glad they’ve caught it early and can hopefully treat it. I worked with Jamie on a show called With A Little Help From My Friends years ago and I listen to him and Amanda Holden on Heart FM every morning, I think they’re such a great duo. I sent him a message with my love and am just hoping his family are doing OK too.

I went to Hugh Grant’s 64th birthday party last week and it was such a great night! Molly flew down from Ireland to come along and I brought Heidi too, they had a ball. We had a great chinwag, he’s so lovely. I went to bed around 10:30, I can never do a late night! Although, I posted a video to my Instagram the next morning where I was cracking jokes and just having a chat, and so many people commented that I was drunk or on drugs! I couldn’t believe it, I don’t even drink alcohol and it was the morning, all I had was water! It is a little annoying that I have to keep defending myself.

A charity affair

I spent the whole weekend in London last week and stayed at the Canary Riverside Plaza hotel, which is beautiful. Heidi and I headed to the Paul Strank Charity Gala and had the best night - it was amazing to see so many old friends. Blue were performing so I ended up spending the night catching up with my good friend Antony Costa, who I love. There was a silent auction and I actually ended up coming home with something very special - I bid on Michael Jackson’s silver sequin glove that he wore to perform and got it. I couldn’t believe it, I’m such a massive Michael Jackson fan and now his glove is sitting in my house! I also got some gorgeous jewellery and put money in for an oxygen tank to go to ill children. I get so emotional at charity things like these and think everyone should do their part.

Katie’s happy

I met Katie Price the other day and had a catch up, which was great fun. It was the first time I met her boyfriend, JJ Slater, and I absolutely loved him. I think he’s so genuine and down to earth and exactly what Katie needs. This is the happiest I’ve seen her in a long time and I’m really glad she’s found someone who makes her happy. He reminds me of my Ryan!

Let it go!

Patsy Kensit said last week that she wants people to stop asking her about the Oasis reunion since it’s been over 20 years since she was married to Liam. I completely understand where she is coming from, if I had a penny for everyone who asked me about my first husband, I’d have millions! I think people forget that while these relationships were so public, it’s only a small part of our lives. I’ve been married multiple times since my first marriage and now engaged for years, but it’s still something that gets brought up. It can be really frustrating, for me and him, so hopefully people take on board what Patsy is saying!
