Kerry Katona sobs This Morning is 'fake and full of liars' as she tears into ITV

Kerry Katona wiped away tears as she ripped into 'fake, phoney and false' This Morning in an emotionally-charged interview.

Amid the drama concerning Phillip Schofield's admission to having an affair with a younger employee, former guests and stars have come out to share their experiences on the show.

Dr Ranj Singh recently called out the show's 'toxic culture' while Eamonn Holmes revealed all about the broadcaster in a sensational interview.

And now, Kerry has come forward to slam the daytime programme and said it was full of "liars" - but emphasised that the crew are "amazing".

Her infamous 2008 interview left her feeling suicidal and she said producers offered her "no aftercare".

During the interview, Phillip accused her of "slurring" words - when she was simply on bipolar medication.

Speaking to GB News on Wednesday, she said: "I'm very sorry, the show is fake, it's phoney and it's false.

"And because of This Morning and the way they're all liars, we look at them two [Holly and Phil] thinking 'this is who we're supposed to be, just prim and proper and life's amazing'.

"It's all b*******. That isn't real life. I'm real life.

"It's a phoney, phoney, phoney show. Now please don't get me wrong, I've worked on This Morning many times.

"I've even presented the show. The crew are amazing. They're all amazing people, they're all so lovely - they don't deserve any of this."

In the TV interview, Phil – who co-hosted This Morning alongside Fern Britton at the time – asked Kerry: "Your speech is a bit slurred, how are you feeling right now? Our phone is already going off in the gallery from people asking is she ok.

"We are merely pointing out someone who is very different from a few years ago."

In 2021, Kerry revealed the interview left her feeling suicidal. Speaking on Marnie's Home Truths, she said she was struggling with bipolar disorder.

She explained: "Never once did they say to me, 'Oh, oh right - what’s bipolar and what’s the medication you’re taking?' I didn’t get any of that."

Kerry said the backlash "was just awful" to deal with, adding: "Next day, the front page of the papers, 'Sherry Kerry', 'Merry Kerry'. It was just awful. I was suicidal. I wanted to die, I wanted to kill myself. It was everywhere."

The singer recently said Phillip apologised to her after accusing her of "slurring" her words.
