Reality television star Kerry Katona has said sorry for taking drugs following new allegations in newspapers recently.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Katona said she experienced a 'moment of weakness'. Last week the News of the World published footage of the TV star apparently using cocaine in the bathroom of her own home.
Katona said "I am so sorry and so ashamed of my actions. I know I let everyone down - my fans, my family and people I work with.
"If any good can come out of this, then let it be this - I would like to tell every man, woman and child in the UK that taking drugs only ever causes misery in the end.
"They don’t make you look cool, they make you look an idiot, and all your insecurities and self-hate - the main reasons I took them in the first place - are only made worse."
Katona also spoke in the interview about her fear that she could lose her children. She has two girls with her first husband, Brian McFadden and a boy and a girl with her husband, Mark Croft.
Since the incident Katona has lost a lucrative advertising deal with Iceland.
