Kerry Katona goes into meltdown and collapses on holiday

The pressures on Kerry Katona were clearly too much for her as she collapsed in the street while on holiday.
She was seen walking hand in hand with her estranged husband Mark Croft, but she suddenly slumped to the pavement, apparently in tears, as he tried to comfort her.
Street collapse: Mark Croft tries to comfort a distressed Kerry Katona in Tenerife
The bankrupt former Atomic Kitten is reportedly planning to sell her £1m Cheshire home in an attempt to clear her debts and avoid repossession.
Her £250,000 advertising deal with Iceland supermarkets fell through on Monday after she was captured on film apparently snorting a white substance.
After being questioned by police over the alleged drugs video, Katona, 28, flew to Tenerife with her children, where they were joined by Croft, 39.
She has kicked out the former taxi driver several times over his alleged infidelities and “freeloading”, but despite her numerous threats of divorce she keeps taking him back.
It was also reported today that Katona has been buying cocaine using some of the £2,100 a month sent by ex-husband Brian McFadden to support their two children.

Needs to stop blaming "bah-pola" for everything that goes wrong in her life.

Kerry needs to exclude all the negative people in her life, concentrate on looking after her children because otherwise she may lose them and pull herself up, brush herself down and get on with life.
She needs help and should go for counceling

Hey she's go bipolar, that's tough, don't know what type of bipolar she's got but if it's the severe form that is a real disabilty, dealing with bipolar is a job in itself when it's severe and you don't need to do drugs to get high and make mistakes the chemicals in your head do it for you, bipolar destroys familys and jobs and careers, so I'm not surprised she's doing so badly.

Hmm... You can't be bankrupt and on holiday at the same time! If anything she and her husband should be cutting certain luxuries out temporarily! Whilst I feel sorry for her I wish someone older and wiser would voluntarily give her some life/financial lessons. Nobody's perfect but surely there's room for improvement if she wants it.

Could someone tell me what her job is as it must be stressful when you have to go on holiday once a month even though you are skint.
I hope she ends up with a proper job on £15000 a year then she will realise what she has thrown away.
As for mother of the year - she doesn't know what the word "mother" means.

Whilst I'd agree what she does in her home is her own business, she doesn't help herself much. If you live a quiet life and are responsible with money, the media doesn't find you of much interest, even if you do work in front of the tv. She should have taken her divorce settlement and done just that. Can't say as I have much sympathy. If you can't clean up, you've got to deal with the mess.

She's no longer in the music business. Her naff ICELAND ads have been pulled. And she has no job/ career / occupation as I far as I am aware.
So she's ' on holiday ' from what, exactly?

Another day in the 'life' of a serial self publicist. Should be a warning to all Z list no hopers.

I hope she dumps him and starts again.

This girl just keeps spiraling down...imagine being her...your ex husband has a new girlfriend in his life and she is much prettier than you......your current husband is estranged from you and he is a cheating jerk and only married you for your money. I hope she gets herself together soon for her sake and the sake of her children.

Wow!! Drug testing has come on leaps and bounds since I was in my youth. I didn't know that you could analyse a substance through a camera and I also didn't know that "Big Brother(State not silly TV prog)" had cameras installed in our bathrooms. Just goes to show. You live and learn!!!!
