‘I do remember [meeting Kerry]. She was upsetting everybody,’ he recalled. ‘I think you can imagine. Oh gosh, a monster.

‘She was just all over the place, we were trying to do charity stuff and she kept butting in and eventually I probably did say, “Why don’t you go away?”‘

Kerry – who has a column in New! magazine – recently wrote: ‘I went up to him to say hello and he told me – to my face – he didn’t like me, that I was gobby, loud, rude and brassy.

‘A couple of years ago, he did an interview where he said he wouldn’t do a reality show as he didn’t “want to be stuck on an island with Kerry Katona”.

‘I have no idea what I did to him but he must have had it in his head that I’m a vile person. It’s a shame as I loved watching him on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? I grew up idolising him and my heart sinks even now thinking about it.’
