Kerry Katona slams Kirstie Allsopp’s house-buying advice raging ‘I’ve never heard so much bulls*** in my life’
KERRY Katona has slammed Kirstie Allsopp over her recent controversial house buying advice – branding it “bulls***”.
TV star Kirstie, 50, sparked outrage earlier this month when she penned a column telling young people to move to a cheap area, quit their gym memberships and stop going on foreign holidays if they wanted to get on the property ladder.
An outraged Kerry hit back, asking: “What world is she living in?”
Continuing in her column for new! Magazine, she wrote: “How many bleeding cups of coffee are people drinking to make it to the equivalent of buying a house?!
“I’ve never heard so much bull s**t in my life.”
The mum-of-four went on to point out that is easy for Kirstie to say because she comes from a privileged background and has no money worries.

Kerry added: “It’s extremely hard to buy a house – I’m still struggling now!”
The former Atomic Kitten star, who has previously been declared bankrupt twice in five years – once in 2008, and again in 2013, has been renting for 13 years but is hoping to buy soon after becoming a millionaire again thanks to OnlyFans.
Her comments come after Kirstie claimed that young people should move in with their parents or “find homes up north” in cheaper areas if they are struggling to afford their lifestyles while saving for a house.
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Kirstie said she bought her first property at the age of 21 in 1993 with the help of her parents.
At the time, the average house price in the UK was around £51,000, which equates to £112,000 in today’s prices – that number still less than half of the actual average of today’s house prices which is £255,556 .
The Location, Location, Location presenter said she feels “enraged” when she hears young people complain that they can’t afford to buy a house these days.
“When I bought my first property, going abroad, the EasyJet, coffee, gym, Netflix lifestyle didn’t exist,” she said. “I used to walk to work with a sandwich. And on payday I’d go for a pizza, and to a movie, and buy a lipstick.”
