Kerry Katona: 'Girls should stay away from Ashley Cole'

Kerry Katona has said that women attracted to Ashley Cole should keep clear.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, who has had two failed marriages herself, told Now that the Chelsea footballer's "reputation" should be enough to discourage females.

"Ashley is good-looking, but with his reputation, girls should realise what he's like and stay away," she explained.

Katona has previously warned Ashley's wife Cheryl Cole that returning to him would tarnish her image, suggesting that she would lose the respect of her fans.

Meanwhile, the Next Chapter star also complained about being "mobbed" by fans around her children.

"I go to Alton Towers with the kids and I'm mobbed by fans," the 30-year-old added. "I need security to keep them at bay so I don't lose sight of my kids."
