Kerry slams Jordan over Jade criticisms

A public spat between The Big Three? It seems almost too good to be true. But unless reality’s broken again, it’s kicked off proper, like, with a furious Kerry Katona laying into Katie Price for her recent critical comments about cancer-stricken Jade Goody.

“I feel sorry for anyone who is going through what Jade is going through, but I can't believe she is paid for interviews on subjects that people are really traumatised by,” said Jordan, adding kindly: “I hope she gets through it all though.”

She went on, less charitably: “There has to be an awareness that that sort of cancer can happen to anyone - but I saw her on Celebrity Big Brother and thought she was racist. She didn't give people sympathy when she was on that show.”

But Kerry disagreed and got on the phone to Jade to offer her support. “Jordan is totally wrong on this one,” she told the Daily Mail. “Jade has already saved many lives with her tireless charity work.”

A stern source sided with Kerry: “Jade is very upset about what Jordan said and this was not nice of [Jordan], to put it mildly. This is the last thing [Jade] needs at the moment.”

The source added: “Kerry called Jade and expressed how horrified she was at Jordan. She's firmly on her side and thinks [Jordan's] behaviour was an extremely low blow, to say the least.”

And how is Jade getting on, aside from having to dodge verbal attacks from her hospital bed? “She's coping very well,” said agent Max Clifford. “We're all very proud of her courage and dedication.”
