Kerry Katona has hit out at her ex-husband Brian McFadden in a new interview.
The Atomic Kitten singer and the Westlife star were married from 2002 to 2006.
Kerry, 42, shares two daughters with Brian: Molly, 21, and Lily, 20.
After the pair divorced, Kerry claims she was left to look after the kids after Brian moved to Australia.

And now, she says she’s still the one who ‘provides for them’.
Speaking to Ellie McKay for the On a Mission podcast, she added: “I signed a piece of paper saying ‘you can keep your money, give me the kids’.”
Kerry slammed Brian by insisting she didn’t want anything from him, just their daughters.
But she also claims the 43-year-old’s absence has ‘really bothered’ their daughters.
The Celebrity Big Brother star claimed that at the time ‘Brian was s****ing himself’ that she would end up with a load of his money ‘for the rest of his life’.
Kerry added: “I said look if you don't want me, you don't love me, I don't want your money.
"Just give me half the money from the house that we sell, and I will sign a piece of paper, just give me my kids.
“I signed the piece of paper, I got the kids, and he f****d off to Australia.”
Ellie asked the star what kind of dad Brian was, to which the mum said: “He was a s**t dad, he was a s**t dad.
“I think that really bothers the two girls especially now because he is a great dad with Ruby.”
The Irish singer became a dad to daughter Ruby Jean with his fiancée, former PE teacher Danielle Parkinson, in May 2021.
Kerry later became mum to Heidi in 2007 and Maxwell in 2008 with then husband Mark Croft. She welcomed her fifth child, Dylan-Jorge, in 2014 with her ex-husband, the late George Kay.
Brian admitted to cheating on the star on the night of his stag do with a lap dancer.
He has also previously expressed his regret for ‘not being there as much for his two eldest children’ as he explained he was ‘at the height of my career in Westlife’ to Closer Magazine.
Brian recently shared a snap of his three daughters to Instagram, writing: “All my girls together.”
Lily commented on her dad’s snap to say: “Love you x.”
And fans wrote: “My god Molly looks like her dad and Lilly looks like her mom.”
Tyla has reached out to Brian McFadden's reps for comment.
