Kerry Katona has made some bombshell claims about what life was like in Atomic Kitten back in the 90s.
The singer and reality star shared that Heidi Range, who later went to find fame in the Sugababes, left Atomic Kitten to go solo.
So much so that “one of them slapped the other one”.
Kerry, 41, said that after holding auditions she chose both Heidi and Liz to join the band but it wasn't long before Heidi left.
Speaking on the Jay Hutton show, Kerry said: “I picked Liz and Heidi Range – who was later in the Sugababes.
“And Heidi and Liz didn't get on – I think one of them slapped the other or something like that. And Heidi wanted to go solo."
Soon after Natasha Hamilton replaced Heidi, 38, but Atomic Kitten’s lineup frequently changed, with each vocalist vying for the ownership of the brand.
Meanwhile, Kerry also jokingly revealed that she has been married so many times, she forgets which of her five kids belongs to who.
She has been married and divorced three times.
Kerry said: “I have to Google it half the time because I can't remember who I've been married to. I look at my kids and I go, ‘Who do you belong to?' It's dead funny, the kids love it.”
The fitness fanatic was married to Brian McFadden from 2002 to 2006, Mark Croft from 2007 to 2011 and the late George Kay from 2014 to 2017.
The Tide is High singer’s children are Molly Marie, 20, Lilly-Sue, 19, who she shares with Brian, Heidi Elizabeth, 15, Maxwell Mark, 13, with Mark, and Dylan-Jorge Rose Kay, seven, who she shared with George.
George died of a drugs overdose in 2019.
Kerry then opened up about her financial struggles in the past – she has been declared bankrupt twice.
She said that her first husband Brian had given her a jukebox as a wedding present but she was so skint at one point she had to sell it for a fraction of its worth.
Kerry said: “I couldn't afford to pay the rent. And it's about £16k that jukebox… I had to sell it for £1900.”
