Kerry Katona has broken her silence on her sudden exit from Celebrity MasterChef, revealing that she believes she was 'too easy to cancel'. The former Atomic Kitten star, 43, appeared on the BBC cooking show earlier this year but was unexpectedly axed during the competition.
In a candid interview, Katona admitted she was left stunned by the decision, insisting she had given her all in the kitchen. 'I put my heart into it, but it felt like they just wanted me out,' she said. 'It was too easy to cancel me.'
Behind the Scenes Drama
Sources close to the production suggest there may have been tensions between Katona and judge John Torode, though neither party has confirmed this. Fans of the show were quick to notice the lack of screen time given to Katona compared to other contestants.
'I didn’t even get a proper goodbye,' Katona revealed. 'One minute I was there, the next I was gone. It was brutal.'
A History of Reality TV Struggles
This isn’t the first time Katona has faced challenges in the world of reality TV. The star, who rose to fame in the late 90s with Atomic Kitten, has had a turbulent relationship with the spotlight, including well-documented personal struggles.
'I’ve been through a lot, but I keep bouncing back,' she said. 'This won’t stop me.'
Fan Reactions
Viewers took to social media to express their disappointment over Katona’s early exit, with many accusing the show of unfair treatment. 'Kerry was robbed!' one fan tweeted, while another added, 'She brought the entertainment – why kick her out?'
Despite the setback, Katona remains optimistic about her future in television. 'I’ve got thick skin,' she laughed. 'Watch this space.'
