Former Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona has rejected a 200,000-pound offer to appear on Celebrity Big Brother following fears she would crack up on TV.
The 29-year-old mother of four is almost bankrupt and faces eviction from her 1.5million pounds home.
While she was thrilled with Channel 4 chiefs’ tempting offer, but she feared that being on Big Brother could cause her to have a nervous breakdown.
“Kerry could have cleared so many debts with this but pals warned her the show loves to mess with people’s minds and can cause meltdowns. Look at Les Dennis and Vanessa Feltz,” the Daily Star quoted a source as saying.
The source added: “They also thought that she may become a hate target. And as she is fragile she could break down.”
Kerry’s agent confirmed: “She was offered the chance to do it but has not accepted it.
