Kerry Katona opens up about the darkest, wildest and most misunderstood chapters of her life, from being given speed by her mum at 14, to becoming a millionaire overnight in Atomic Kitten, to the cocaine addiction that nearly killed her. She speaks candidly about being hounded by the tabloid press, becoming a victim of the phone-hacking scandal, losing everything, and rebuilding her life through relentless honesty and reinvention.
For the first time, Kerry breaks down the terrifying night she was held hostage at knifepoint while her children slept upstairs, the domestic abuse she endured, and the trauma her kids witnessed even when they “never saw the punches, just the black eyes”
This is the real story behind the headlines: the chaos, the survival, the addiction cycles, the brutal media humiliation, and the unexpected comeback that made her one of the UK’s most talked-about public figures, and one of OnlyFans’ top earners.
