Kerry back in the Priory

It seems that ever since her MTV reality show started, Kerry Katona's life has turned once more into a rollercoaster ride. And now the former Atomic Kitten is back in the Priory after the recent whirlwind of publicity accompanying MTV fly-on-the-wall reality show Crazy In Love – a lot of it critical – sent her into a depression.

“I’ve been very stressed because of all the negative press and what with my hormones being all over the place, as well,” Kerry told OK! magazine this week. “It does affect you. It really gets me down.”

A source confirmed that press sniping had affected the star. “She’s been locked away in her bedroom for days just staring at the wall – severely emotional and depressed. Everything she was reading in the press has built up.”

This is the fourth time Kez has stayed at the celeb rehab facility. Her first visit came after she split from Westlife singer Brian McFadden in 2004. But a spokeswoman denied there was anything to worry about.

"Kerry has not suffered a nervous breakdown,” said Max Clifford Associates’ Nicola Phillips. “She suffers from bipolar disorder and is just feeling a little down."

Meanwhile, filming on Crazy In Love has been suspended while the troubled star gets the treatment she needs. We wish you well, Kerry, but every cloud, eh?
