In news that is bound the shock the entire nation to its very core, we can reveal that Kerry Katona does in fact have a drinking problem.

Yes, that slurred performance on This Morning could have been down to several large glasses of wine before breakfast (but obviously, we wouldn't want to speculate...)

 

Kerry has finally admitted the unexpected revelation that:

 

"Four years ago I was diagnosed as an alcoholic after a stay in The Priory clinic. This is not common knowledge as I've never admitted it before. But this is a battle I will face for the rest of my life."

 

Kerry added:

 

"I can get through days without a drink but it's hard. I never promise myself or my family that I can beat this addiction but I'll try bloody hard."

 

And ex publicist Max Clifford, who Kerry parted ways with after her appearance on This Morning, has continued to support her (without pay?) by saying:

 

"Everyone knows that I think the world of her and I hope that she manages to get control back in her life. Now that she has admitted it hopefully people will be more understanding."
