KERRY Katona has slammed her first husband Brian McFadden and branded their marriage ‘fake’.
Kerry, 42, and Brian, 43, were married between 2002 and 2004.
The former couple met back on the Smash Hits tour in 1999 and tied the knot three years later on January 5, 2002, in Ireland.
Kerry welcomed daughter Molly into the world in 2001, followed by Lilly-Sue two years later.
Despite their fairy tale love story, their marriage only lasted for two years and Kerry has dubbed it "fake and phoney".

Kerry recently told The Mirror: "Obviously first marriage I thought it would last forever, I just went along with it.
"It was just fake, it wasn't real, it wasn't meant to be - it wasn't what I wanted, it was all fake and phoney."
Kerry has seen Brian since they split, but now that their daughters are older, there isn't as much as a need to.
The girls also have a close relationship with Kerry's fiance Ryan Mahoney.
Kerry added: "Not seen him (since Molly's 21st birthday) because the girls are grown up now, we've got no reason to talk.
"Not that we really talked, we never really had that kind of close relationship, they'll ring Ryan before they ring Brian. If they need money, they ring Ryan.
"That's just how it is, he's got his own little family now, Ryan pays for Molly's car insurance. Molly and Ryan have such a great relationship, it's funny when they're together."
Brian has also spoken about the marriage and explained how he thought that they were too young.
He previously told the Independent in 2007: "I was very young when I met her and no one ever loved me before. So when Kerry came along and wanted me, that gap was filled and I felt good simply because I had someone to share everything with.
"I never stopped to think, 'You really should get to know this person before you have kids, think of marrying or settle down."
