Katona 'doesn't think she has a problem'

A former friend of Kerry Katona has said that the ex-Atomic Kitten singer will continue to take drugs until she faces her alleged addiction

Leighton Ogden, 22, also told Heat that he was surprised that Katona had been filmed seemingly snorting cocaine because she is usually careful about where she takes drugs.

Ogden said: "Kerry doesn't think she has a problem and until she admits that she has, she will carry on. I've never seen anyone take as much as she did.

"It could have killed her. She would get through a lot of coke in one night, taking it from late afternoon until the next day."

He added: "Kerry is careful and won't take drugs in front of anyone she doesn't know. When she's at home, she will only ever take it in her en suite, which is where the footage was filmed.

"The person who filmed her would have had to put the camera in her bathroom, and there can only be a very small group of people who have that opportunity. She does it there because the children don't go in there."

Katona was cautioned by police for drug possession after she made a public apology for the incident.
