Kerry Katona has claimed that her ex-husband Brian McFadden needs to "grow up".
The reality TV star accused McFadden of shirking his responsibilities as a father to their two daughters Molly, six, and Lilly-Sue, five. Former Westlife singer Brian is currently focusing on developing his music career in Australia, where he lives with his fiancée Delta Goodrem.
Katona also criticised Brian for using the media to make public attacks on her. In April, he branded his ex-wife "disgusting" and claimed she had put him through "hell".
"It makes me really angry because the kids are going to go through these archives and all these comments are going to come up," Kerry told Heat magazine.
"My kids idolise their daddy, I just wish they got to see him more. I don't think it's right that Brian doesn't phone and see the kids as much as he should. He's over again in two weeks and I've got to take the girls out of school for another four days because that's the only time he can see them. He should get his priorities right. He needs to grow up. There's kids involved."
She also revealed that her new husband Mark Croft is sometimes called 'Dad' by Lilly-Sue.
Kerry continued: "Brian actually said in one article that he wants the kids to call Mark 'Dad'. I wouldn't want the kids calling Delta 'Mother'. I'm sorry, I don't care how nice she is, that would devastate me."
Katona previously criticised Brian's behaviour in February. At the time, she also vowed to reveal "juicy" details about their rows once her custody battle with the singer is over.
