Kerry Katona declared bankrupt
Kerry Katona has been declared bankrupt at the High Court, it has been reported.

The former Atomic Kitten pop star failed to pay the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill.

Despite her efforts to reduce the bill, HM Revenue and Customs insisted on continuing with the bankruptcy petition – which was issued in January.

According to her representative Luke Harris, the failure to pay was due to funds not clearing in time and the money could still be brought forward when it was ready.

It is the fourth time the case had been put before the court, with Mr Registrar Nicholls issuing Katona with a deadline for Thursday some two weeks ago.

Kerry found fame with girl group Atomic Kitten in the late 1990s and went on to win to win reality TV programme I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004.

William Hill Bingo players may know that she has two children with former Westlife singer Bryan McFadden.
