Former “I’m a celebrity…” contestant Kerry Katona has been arrested by police in Warrington on suspicion of attacking her accountant over an argument regarding her debt problems.

Cheshire Police confirmed that a 28-year-old woman from Wilmslow, understood to be Kerry Katona, was detained at Hawthorne Business Park yesterday.

The mother-of-four was also questioned on suspicion of criminal damage and a public order offence, which quickly follwos the caution she received by police two days ago for suspected cocaine posession.

It is alleged that the reality star attacked her accountant, punching him in the face and throwing a cup of tea over him, following a meeting about her accounts.

Ms Katona, who was dropped from her £250,000 a year contract with frozen food outlet Iceland last week following the cocaine scandal, has already been made bankrupt following poor financial decisions and her frivolous lifestyle.

A spokesperson for the police said: “At approximately 3.50pm on Wednesday 26th August, Cheshire Police attended a premises on Hawthorne Business Park in Warrington, following a report of an assault.

“A 28-year-old woman from the Wilmslow area has been arrested on suspicion of assault, criminal damage and a public order offence.”

Ivan Cooper, Chairman at UK leading debt management specialists Chiltern, said: “It must be incredibly hard for those people around her, to see Ms Katona implode like this. Especially as she has four children too.

“What she could benefit from is some sound and impartial debt advice, to make sure that any debt problems can be sorted before she loses everything.”

Police have bailed the former Atomic Kitten “singer” until 12 October, after she was held in a police cell overnight.
