Kerry Katona: Its 4 years since George died but Im still angry – DJ cant remember him
Today marks the fourth anniversary of Kerry Katona's husband George Kay's death at the age of just 39.
The former professional rugby league player died suddenly in 2019 after biting into a ball of cocaine and having a seizure in front of staff at a Holiday Inn. He and Kerry had separated at the time.
But while the years have passed, Kerry who he married in September 2014, tells us he "still pops into [her] head every day".
The couple share eight-year-old Dylan-Jorge who, Kerry admitted 'doesn't have any memories of her dad.'
She said: "It’s four years on but George still pops into my head every day. I look at DJ and I think, ‘She looks like her dad’, but everyone thinks she looks like me."
The 42-year-old also revealed that there could be plans in place soon for her current fiancé Ryan Mahoney, 32, to adopt DJ.
She said: "DJ wants Ryan to adopt her because she doesn’t know any different. The older kids have more memories of George, but DJ only knows Ryan."
George, who played as winger for the Warrington Wolves, was later known for having a cocaine addiction and this played a part in his death.
Speaking at an inquest for his death, his mother Hilary said: "He had taken recreational drugs from a young age and I was aware of his drug taking in May 2019."
Now, in her new book, Kerry Katona: Whole Again, the star delves even further into her turbulent marriage with George.
She tells us, in the lead up to George's death anniversary, that the hardest part for her to write and then later record for the audiobook was "telling DJ her dad had died".
Kerry emotionally said: "I was angry, I still am. He put, not just me, but the children through so much and then just died.
"The trauma stays with you."
The former Atomic Kitten singer also disclosed how the relationship impacted the children. Kerry is mum to Molly Marie, 21, Lilly-Sue, 19, Heidi Elizabeth, 15, Maxwell Mark, 14, and Dylan-Jorge, eight, and she said her time with George impacted eldest daughter Molly the most.
She said: "I know full well Molly moved to Ireland with her nan and grandad because of George. He played all these games and did vile things and then he just died and I’m left to deal with it all."
Kerry also revealed, despite George passing away four years ago, she's still not able to fully move on with her life, especially when it comes to her relationship with Ryan.
She said that she still hasn't received her ex husband's death certificate and that prevents her from marrying again, despite being engaged and plans underway.
"I have to get George’s death certificate before getting married again because I’m a widow. I’m still married, we never divorced."
