Iceland to drop Kerry Katona?

Submitted by admin on October 24, 2008 – 12:35 pmNo Comment

A recent incident involving Kerry Katona appearing live on the ‘This Morning’ for an interview with Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton has led to believe Iceland maybe reliving Kerry of her £250,000 contract.

During the interview Kerry was slurring her words which led the 2 presenters to ask about her health, she stated it was due to her medication for her bipolar disorder. She also accused Phillip Schofield of purposely ambushing her live on TV, however he claimed that no one had the chance to asses her prior to the interview as she arrived late. If they knew that she was on any type of medication that affected her incoherence they would of not allowed her to be live on TV.

Iceland have defended Kerry saying that it’s just a case of her medication kicking in at the wrong time, shortly after, the effect had wore off she would of been fit to carry on with the interview. They have been loyal and supported her through various periods of her life, for example when she got caught taking cocaine or smoking whilst pregnant.

Iceland refused to reveal any more information regarding this case but have recently renewed her contract in April for 12 months which contradicts any statement about dropping her by the tabloids.

The company actually received complaint letters from customers who saw the interview promoting her new documentary about how she spent £15,000 to recover her figure after 4 children. They basically revolved around the idea how asking how they can use her for a campaign targeting mums and why they should shop at Iceland.

One person actually stated that they will be no longer shopping at Iceland while Kerry remains working in their advertisement campaigns.
