Kerry Katona has praised Celebrity Big Brother star Fern Britton for her interviewing techniques, despite her car crash interview on This Morning 16 years ago.
In 2008, the now 43-year-old appeared on the ITV programme, where she was interviewed by former This Morning presenters Fern and Phillip Schofield about cosmetic work she had done. But the infamous interview didn’t bode well for Kerry when Phillip pointed out that Kerry’s speech sounded slurred.
Explaining the reason for her speech, the mother-of-five said she had taken medication the previous night and insisted she was “absolutely fine”. But Fern also appeared to insinuate that Kerry may have had an addiction to alcohol, as she told the star that she previously heard Kerry drank before going on set for a photoshoot.

What came next was an avalanche of chaos for Kerry as viewers thought she may have had too much to drink before appearing on This Morning. But since her interview in 2008, Kerry appears to have forgiven presenter Fern.

While watching Celebrity Big Brother, she told fans on her Instagram: “Loving Fern Britton! She’s just constantly in interview mode, isn’t she?
“And she has the sweetest voice, Fern, where you just want to tell her everything about your life.” The star then spoke about her This Morning chat with Fern.
She continued: “I know I had that infamous interview with her. But for me that interview was… people didn’t really understand bipolar, people didn’t really know what it was and I guess no one actually asked me.

“So I guess things have changed now. But she looks amazing Fern, to be fair.” She told her 835,000 followers online.
While watching Fern talk to Love Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu about bad press, Kerry looked stunned as Fern explained that press can be too much for some people. She then said things are very “interesting”.

In 2018, Kerry addressed the interview on Good Morning Britain and told the hosts that the lethal chat “ruined” her career. She said: “I think for so long the mental health stigma, it’s still a taboo really. That was down to my pure medication
“I’ll admit I’ve done drugs in the past, I’ve done the drink, I’ve done all that. But that was my bipolar medication and to this day I’m still trying to get TV companies, producers to try and trust in me again because of my mental health illness.”
