Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has revealed that she is currently seeking therapy in order to deal with a lot of 'unresolved issues' that has resulted in feelings of 'anger'.

The 44 year old told OK! that she's realised she's never really address traumatic things that have happened in her life - such as her childhood, marriage to George Kay and other relationship troubles - but she's ready to become the best version of herself with the help of therapy.

Kerry candidly explained: "With everything that’s been going on, for example with my mum and Ryan, it’s made me realise I have some unresolved issues from my past. It’s resulted in a lot of anger and maybe not dealing with situations at home as well as I should. I wasn’t aware of how much I’d built things up, from my childhood to separations and death.

"I don’t think I ever fully addressed my relationship with George especially, but I’m getting help. I’m looking into getting a good therapist. I think it’s important for people to know it’s OK to ask for help. I’ve got so much resentment inside of me and it was spilling out on to my family. I’m trying to work on myself – me talking about my relationship is an example of that. I used to pretend everything was fine with previous partners, but everything isn’t always perfect. I’m just trying to be a better version of myself."

On the lead up to Kerry's admission, the former I'm A Celeb star opened up about her mum's heartbreaking illness. Kerry's mum Sue is currently in hospital after suffering from blood clots and other health issues and Kerry is understandably very worried. She told fans: "It’s been a busy week for me, taking care of my mum and making sure I still spend time with my family. I’ve been staying at mum’s home to look after her cat but I knew the kids were missing me, so I made sure to spend time with them on Bonfire Night.

"When I’m not at the hospital with my mum though, I make sure to FaceTime her. She’s been moved from a private pod to a ward, which is a good sign, but her body isn’t coping if they remove the oxygen. We just need to take one step at a time – but it’s been a particularly difficult few days."
