Kerry Katona accuses Phillip Schofield of 'belittling' her and wades in on ... trends now
Kerry Katona has accused Phillip Schofield of 'belittling' her in an infamous 2008 interview as she waded in on the 'toxic' culture at This Morning.
The TV personality, 42, broke her silence on the ongoing Phillip scandal while speaking to Dan Wootton on GB News on Wednesday evening.
She reflected on an infamous interview she did on This Morning back in 2008, which saw Phillip, 61, question her on her slurred speech live on air.
Kerry accused him of 'belittling' her and being 'condescending' with his comments and explained how her slurred speech was due to her bipolar medication.
She also claimed she was left suicidal following the TV appearance and criticised ITV for allegedly not reaching out to her following the car-crash interview.

Wading in on the 'toxic' culture on the breakfast show, Kerry said: 'People don't understand what that interview did to me emotionally.'
'Even now, when I go back to ITV - which isn't very often - there is a sense of snobbery and that I'm not good enough,' she added. 'I feel like I have to impress them, I've got to watch my speech, I can't slur.'
Speaking about how the interview left her at 'rock bottom', Kerry said: 'It was just awful. I was suicidal. I wanted to die, I wanted to kill myself. It was everywhere.'
Kerry, who has been sober for 14 years, alleged that nobody wanted to work with her following the interview as she discussed how it affected her everyday life.
Kerry broke down in tears as she explained how she still has to justify herself over the interview more than ten years later.
She tearfully said: 'Even now, when I look at that video, I feel so ashamed and so hard done by, even now. For ten years, I've had to justify myself.'
'I've got no reason to lie [about the medication], even today I have to justify myself for that interview,' she added.
The infamous live 2008 interview saw Phillip question Kerry about her slurred speech and ask her if she was 'OK', despite her insistence it was due to her medication.
