Kerry Katona

ITV's switchboard has been bombarded with calls after Kerry Katona's appearance on This Morning earlier today.

Viewers were concerned after the former Atomic Kitten star slurred her words during the interview.

This Morning host Philip Schofield said to her: "You don't seem right to me. Your speech is slurred, how are you feeling?"

Kerry said she was surprised to hear this and blamed prescription drugs which she had taken to help her sleep.

She told the presenter: "All it is is my medication. I've never been happier, I swear to God, healthwise I'm fine."

Co-presenter Fern Britton also asked her whether she has a drinking problem following a story about her behaviour during a recent photo-shoot in Marbella.

Kerry told her: "No not at all, I was on holiday in Spain, I'm allowed to have a drink aren't I? So would that mean I'm an alcoholic?"

Kerry was appearing on the ITV show to promote her new MTV reality programme, Kerry Katona Whole Again. The show follows the ex-singer as she undergoes breast reduction surgery.

    Sadly, looks like she is on something or has some other serious health issue. Definitely very slurred speach.

    She was absolutely smashed. Her mate is not Marmite but simply Smirnoff.

    She's top of my list to be one of the celebs who doesn't make it into 2009. Hopefully. Waste of space.

    Truely shocking, I feel really sorry for Kerry and her children. No sleeping tablets I know make you as drowsy as this. She should go home and sort herself out for the sake of her kids. No amount of fame and fortune can make up for having the respect of your kids, which she will lose if she is not careful!
