Kerry Katona speaks out against cruel fans accusing her of faking car burglary

Kerry Katona has spoken out after cruel fans accused her of faking her car being stolen from an Oldham shopping centre.

She previously broke down in tears on her Instagram story after revealing the stolen Range Rover had her kids' Christmas presents inside.

After putting out a plea earlier last night urging fans to keep an eye out for the blue vehicle, she has now posted another video regarding cruel comments accusing her of faking the incident.

Many comments claim that she faked the situation because the £110,000 motor was due to be raffled off.

Kerry said on Instagram: "To everybody with regards to the raffle, I'm really devastated about that. I've not heard back off the police yet. I was on the phone constantly to them yesterday.

"I don't know what's going to happen. I'm absolutely gutted, I really wanted to help change someone's life. Hopefully we'll get it back."

She added: "In this day and age with the hashtag be kind, I still can't believe some of the nasty comments people go around saying.

"I mean it's a reflection on them as a person. It's just really sad. I'm glad I'm strong enough to handle it."

Despite the string of negative comments, many fans have sent messages of support to the Atomic Kitten star.

One supportive commenter said: "Feeling your pain sweetie. Hope it's found soon."

Another criticised the cruel comments, saying: "Ppl saying her raffle was a scam she doesn't have to go through all this she could pretend someone won it..."

Kerry has stated she feels "absolutely violated" following the theft.

She added: "It is a good job I didn't catch them. They could have had a knife."
