I really thought I couldn't stand her ....................I despised everything about her. I had no idea what a sad life she'd had. So neglected as a child .................I really and truly hope she turns her life around and can be a good mum to her kids.

i didn't realise but ................she really didn't know any different. Certainly food for thought - I have always been very judgemental about her. It really can't have been easy. 

I wish her well. Anyone else watch it?

Some kids just don't have a chance ..........she got a lucky break after an incredibly hard start and then it all went wrong. The early years of our lives, the values we learn and role models we have are so very important.

Her early life was catastrophic and then she found fame - was hounded by the media and was deserted by the husband she loved. She had no solid foundations to fall back on ..............very sad. My opinion of her has changed completely.

Oh I knew all about that....  she was in children's homes & stuff... 

problem is Soozy.. this isn't the first time there's been a "Kerry turns her life around" campaign.   when she's got it... is making money...  instead of stopping & thinking "perhaps I won't blow it all up the wall this time"...  she does.

Everyone makes mistakes...  but to repeatedly make them...   How many more times should it be ok for her to make more money than most of us see in a lifetime... and waste it all.   And she has kids!   If that doesn't make you reassess your priorities, then that's the point where I stop sympathising. 

I am neither a Jade Goody fan... nor a Jade hater...    but I did respect the devotion she had to her kids, and because of her childhood.. her determination to ensure her kids had the best childhood she could possibly give them.

I watched it when it was on a few nights ago. Hmmm jury's still out for me. I'm finding it hard to pity a woman who regularly shut herself away in her room for 3 days with her fella to snort coke when her kids are in the house and keep asking if she's alright while she's completely stoned out of her box.

She says she's ashamed now, but she was like it for 4 years. Can't understand how family, friends or the social services didn't intervene and have those kids moved somewhere else, tbh. If that was my mate and she was doing that to her young kids I know I couldn't just do nothing.

I know she's been a dreadful mother ...............I know she's wasted more money than any of us could dream of having. I really have had no time for her in the past but ...............I simply felt so very, very sorry for her watching that programme.


I know she's turned over a new leaf time and time again ..............I just really hope it works for her this time. I think (most of us) take for granted a loving, caring family. I came from a very poor background but had a loving and supportive background and great role models ....................far better than money can buy IMO.

It's not like she is still in her teens!!! she is a woman of a few years & should have known better a while ago! Sorry but a no sympathy for her wot so ever!
I felt exactly the same and was telling my DiL in no uncertain terms the very same thing at the weekend. Seeing this programme made me think again .............did you watch it?

Nope! & had no intentions of doing so...how many chances does a person get ?

I have to say I felt exactly the same..........................don't know why I watched it - but i did.

As for chances ........................i'id say - as many as is necessary - then again - I can think of instances where enough is enough. I'm no Kerry Katona fan but - I'm glad I watched it TBH.

I do feel for her tbh.She didn't have an ideal upbringing or parental role model,met Brian Mc Fadden and she seemed to be a good mum/wife then he tore her life apart when he left his family for another woman....Has she dealt with that well or really recovered from it?,imo no but hopefully she will finally get herself together .

I have no sympathy for her at all. She had no talent as a singer, now she only lives for OK Magazine and that's only to watch her weight go up or down. Yawn. Well, sorry, but I have no interest in somebody who will never take hold of their life and just admit that whatever their parents did is in the past and get on with it, she has children, who, in normal circumstances would have been taken away from her, get a grip and understand that the world does not owe you a living.

To me she is an nonentity. There are thousands of people fighting battles like her who do not have access to everything she has and who do not have the ability to bleat at magazines everytime they feel that they need an injection of cash.
I have no idea why anyone would be interested TBH. She is famous for being a singer in an average girl band that broke up years ago. She has no other talent or notable achievements.
I would have far more respect for her if she took herself off and sorted herself out quietly without TV cameras and mag deals.
Just don't get why it had to be filmed with all these so called experts giving their opinions...

I don't have any sympathy for her the show was edited by the same people who made Peter Andre into a saint. Kerry blames everybody and everything for her problems she is never to blame. She only really cares about the fame and the cash. The children come later for Kerry. She proved that when she got her new fella and spent more time with him than them.
Now she reckons her Bi Polar's cleared up and she doesn't need medication any more. Wait for the crash from that one when it resurfaces if she ever had it in the first place.

It is good to she is turning her life around and I would say the same for anyone with a drug  addiction it must be  very very hard,her management seemingly are being very strict with her. I did watch the show and her manager Claire who is Peter Andre manager is a brilliant PR, I tend to think most of what Kerry was saying was what she was told to say I feel the same way about Peter Andre when I have watched his show, I dont believe either of these two are genuine on these shows, her mother is a bad influence on her in my opinion.. horrible woman,I wish her well ..

If at the end of all the times she has done wrong she turns her life around, and is a decent person, and a good mother to her children, then it doesn't matter how many chances a person gets, its irrelevant.
As long as she has or can do this, or anyone similar. Then it can only be good for everyone concerned.

Yeah but why did Brian leave her?  We've only ever had her side of it...she may have been a complete nightmare to live with.

He was a married man having an affair with another woman,if  Kerry was a nightmare to live with or not he was wrong doing what he did to his family.IMO if someone is a nightmare then leave the marriage or try and get things back on track,cheating and screwing around most certainly is not the right way to go about it.

I agree with you, Lee.
I believe it was Brian leaving her which made Kerry hit the self-destruct button.
I'm not excusing her drug-taking etc, but if she is trying to sort out her life and provide a more stable life for her kids, then I hope she succeeds.

Longcat he had previously cheated on her on his stag night and apparently despite folk advising her not to she did take him back....Delta and him worked together on a single she was releasing,most cheaters do deny it as we know ,for various reasons obviously and her career  may have suffered immensely if they ever did admit to cheating while he was still married,good PR would ensure they deny at all costs.

Yogi imoshe wasn't emotionally equipped to deal with the break up,apparently he dumped her by text which was callous and would rive the best of us dollay probably.

Agreed Lee. We never really know. But Kerry knew he cheated on his stag and yet still married him. Kerry was warned by Katie Price that Mark would spend all her money and drag her into the gutter she fell out with Katie because of it. So even when she is pre warned she goes ahead no matter what.

but what if, by the time she manages to achieve this, her children are well on their way to adulthood, and the damage is already done?

and why should she expect it to be through a media career, and for the definition of "back on track" to be extremely wealthy, living the celeb lifestyle.    Its like she expects the fast track, short cut way to the dream lifestyle ... again.

I can't find quite the right words to express myself...  but its like, to me, Kerry still puts Kerry first...  which is an alien concept to me...  I can't imagine being able to do that (in the big scheme of things)...   from the moment I had kids, they came first.
