Katona 'killing herself with cocaine'

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has become addicted to cocaine - and her family and friends fear for her life.

He mother-of-two has struggled with depression since her traumatic split from former Westlife singer Brian McFadden last year, and her best friend Joanne Goodier admits she is terrified for her troubled pal.

Goodier tells British newspaper the News of the World: "Kerry is killing herself with cocaine. It's like she doesn't care about anything when she's on it.

"She binges on cocaine for days on end without sleep. It's almost as if she wants to self-destruct.

"One night I found her in such a state she was screaming about the curtains talking to her. She needs help."
