Ex-Atomic Kitten singer and television personality Kerry Katona reckons Sir Paul McCartney could have died and was replaced by a clone.
The former chart-topping star says that “maybe there is some truth” in the whacky conspiracy theory.
She backed Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, who recently mentioned the claims about Sir Paul on Loose Women.
Mum-of-five Kerry, 39, said: “I had a giggle watching Scarlett. I thought she might have been joking when she said Paul was secretly dead and had been replaced by a clone.
“I’ve heard that particular urban myth before, so maybe there is some truth in it.”

She wrote in New! magazine: “You know me, I love anything to do with aliens and conspiracies.”
The bonkers “Paul is dead” rumours have circulated for 50 years since he was pictured barefoot and out of step with fellow Beatles on the cover of their Abbey Road album.

During the live show, an anonymous caller told Russ to put the Beatles’ White Album on and to spin the ‘number 9, number 9, intro from Revolution 9 backwards.
While attempting this, Hibb heard: “Turn me on, dead man.”
However, the hints didn’t stop there, at the end of Strawberry Fields, John Lennon says: “I buried Paul.”

Speaking about the bizarre rumours, Paul told Rolling Stones in 1974: “Someone from the office rang me up and said, ‘Look, Paul, you’re dead.’
“And I said, ‘Oh, I don’t agree with that.'”
The rumours came shortly after The Beatles went international, breaking America – with Paul believing it would “probably be the best publicity” The Fab Four had ever had.
Scouser Paul added: “A couple of people came up and said, ‘Can I photograph you to prove you’re not dead?'”
When the rumours originally began circulating, Paul was in fact in seclusion on his Scottish farm with then-wife, Linda McCartney and their young daughters Mary and Heather.
