Kerry Katona has reignited her feud with Phillip Schofield, delivering a scathing critique of the television presenter during a recent interview. The former Atomic Kitten star, 44, did not hold back, declaring, “I can’t even watch his show!” Her comments come amid ongoing discussions about Schofield’s return to television with a new Channel 5 series, which has already drawn criticism from others in the industry.
Katona’s disdain for Schofield stems from a 2008 interview on This Morning, where she appeared as a guest. She has previously claimed that Schofield humiliated her on air by focusing on her reaction to mental health medication, a moment that she says left her feeling suicidal and sparked a media frenzy. In 2023, Katona spoke tearfully about the incident on GB News, revealing the profound impact it had on her mental health. Posts on X have echoed her sentiments, with some users recalling her as Schofield’s “arch nemesis” and criticizing his conduct during their shared time on This Morning.
The controversy surrounding Schofield has only intensified with his latest project. Journalist Samara Gill recently slammed Channel 5 for giving Schofield a platform, calling him a “dark, insidious character” in a segment on TalkTV. Katona’s latest remarks add fuel to the fire, highlighting the lingering tensions between the two media personalities.
Neither Katona nor Schofield have commented further on the matter as of press time. However, with public sentiment on X reflecting a mix of support for Katona and scrutiny of Schofield’s return, this story is far from over.
