KERRY Katona has admitted that cocaine was her “best friend” during her lowest points.
The 38-year-old star revealed that she depended on the Class A drug when she was feeling “worthless” as she opened up about her money woes.
The former Atomic Kitten star insisted that she was never an addict when it came to cocaine, but would regularly binge.
She explained: “It got to the point I was so lonely, so empty. Cocaine was my best friend.
“It was always there for me when I was down.
“When I was feeling worthless it gave me that self-love and confidence.”
Kerry went on to share that nowadays she isn’t even “tempted” by the narcotic, claiming that she doesn’t even drink alcohol while at home.
The mother-of-five first tried drugs at the age of 14 when her mother, Sue, gave her Speed because she “thought it would be fun”.
Sue previously confessed that her actions were “silly, dangerous, and unforgiveable”, with Kerry revealing that she used to think that substance abuse was “normal”.
However, she has insisted to The Mirror that she isn’t a “victim”, adding: “I’m eternally grateful to my mother for showing me how not to be.”
The comments come as Kerry slammed “b******s” £875 fine that she received after her child missed 45 days of class – insisting that she is “not a bad mum”.
She went on to open up about her financial worries, admitting: “Life is different from when I was a millionaire with a Lamborghini and Ferrari.

“I’m not on my a***, but my social life consists of doing a food shop in Morrisons.
“At times I worry about putting enough food on the table.”
Kerry lauded all of the freebies that she is able to obtain through her celebrity status – including her recent holiday on the Greek island of Mykonos, where The Sun snapped her tucking into a cheeseburger topless on the beach.
