Iceland continues to back Katona

Frozen food retailer Iceland has said it will continue to use Kerry Katona in advertising campaigns.

The company said it would stand by the reality TV star despite her controversial appearance on This Morning on Wednesday, where she slurred throughout an interview with Philip Schofield and Fern Britton.

"Kerry is dependent on medication for her bi-polar disorder and if this medication isn't taken at the right time it will result in her appearing disorientated and slurring her words," said a spokesperson.

"On more than one occasion we have had first-hand experience of this, and after a short period Kerry has been fit to resume her work.

"We were unaware of her appearance on This Morning and it is our opinion that Kerry should not have appeared on the programme."
