Kerry Katona has shared she would like to take part in The Celebrity Traitors. The first star-studded edition of the popular BBC programme has been a hit with viewers since it launched last month. The former Atomic Kitten singer has also been gripped by the show and is keen to take part herself.
The 45-year-old heaped praise on Alan Carr and Cat Burns, the two Traitors who have made it into the final alongside faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga.
She wrote in her column for new magazine!: “I’m loving Celebrity Traitors – a million percent I’d go on that show! I’d love to be a Traitor. Alan Carr and Cat Burns are doing a great job. Alan just makes me laugh, he’s TV gold.”
Kerry can’t understand why there have been reports of the show leading to rifts between contestants, such as Alan and Paloma Faith, who was the first contestant to leave the programme after being murdered in plain sight by her friend.
Kerry said they should realise it is “just a game”.
She continued: “All the stuff I’ve been reading about everyone falling out, the whole point of it is to lie to each other. They shouldn’t take it so personally. It’s just a game!”
If she did ever get to take part, the 45-year-old star doesn’t think she’s make a good Traitor. She said: “I’d probably need to be a Faithful because I wouldn’t be able to lie to anyone’s face. I’m the most honest person you’ll meet.”
Meanwhile, Kerry admitted she “doesn’t plan to” watch new BBC docuseries Girlbands Forever because it will make her relive her past “trauma”.
She explained: “I haven’t watched it and don’t plan to. For me, I couldn’t watch the boyband documentary, I couldn’t watch the Paul C Brunson podcast.
“I’m happy to talk about these things but when you talk about it, you relive it. It’s a trigger and a trauma. I don’t want to get triggered by old feelings.”
However, Kerry is proud of her pop past and doesn’t think there will ever be such a wave of major girl groups ever again.
She added: “But I’m very proud to have been a part of 90s pop history. We’re never going to have that era anymore. It’s just a different generation and we have to accept that and move with the times.”
Kerry regularly updates her fans on her love life. She is enjoying a romance with new man Paolo Margaglione after meeting him on the set of reality TV series Celebs Go Dating.
The Atomic Kitten star split from her ex-fiancé Ryan Mahoney after six years last November and has been open about her journey to finding love again.
Viewers were pleased to see Kerry find happiness with Paolo on the reality show, and their bond has only gone from strength to strength since. As the programme came to an end, Kerry shared an adorable photo with her boyfriend as she said “it’s only the beginning” of their relationship
