Before dancing any further we should say Kerry Katona - former singer of Atomic Kitten (CDs) and permanent northern loudmouth - strongly denies any claims that she has taken drugs. She’s got Max Clifford saying the same too.  Though he's fine with the split boob thing.

The trouble began, as it so often does, with a tabloid…

Katona’s ‘best friend’ Joanne Goodier recently told the News of the World the following revelation.

“Kerry is killing herself with cocaine. It's like she doesn't care about anything when she's on it.”

If such a rumour were true it would certainly explain why Katona has suddenly got skinnier than Lindsay Lohan on a treadmill. Cokeheads are not known for their midnight munchies. That's a big if though.

"She binges on cocaine for days on end without sleep. It's almost as if she wants to self-destruct.” insists Goodier.

Katona doesn’t have a lot to be chipper about these days. Her ex Brian McFadden has got all indie hair and good looking. Plus, he’s found himself a ‘nice young lady’ he can actually take home to mum and dad with a straight face.

So, despite a bevy of reasons a failed pop singer and daytime TV idler might have for turning to the powder mountain, Katona is still denying all such accusations.

"It's totally untrue, total lies. And because of the seriousness of the allegations, she's going to sue.” remarked PR bigshot Max Clifford.

Even is such claims are a "a pack of lies", June is starting to look like a pretty bumpy month for Kerry Katona.

Launched her own female only cab company – good. Boob splits open after plastic surgery – bad.

Every cloud has a silver lining mind. It's not cab firms that make the headlines.
