Kerry Katona has thrown shade at Vogue Williams as she claimed that the model and DJ “wouldn’t give [her] the time of day” when she was married to ex-husband Brian McFadden.

The former Atomic Kitten singer, 38, was married to the Westlife star, also 38, from 2002 to 2006, and said that her relationship with her ex had improved since he started dating Danielle Parkinson.

“I wouldn’t say I’m really close to Brian but it has taken us a hell of a long time to get to where we’ve got to,” she told the Daily Star’s TV Life magazine.

“I think what has helped me massively is his current girlfriend Danielle Parkinson.

“She’s lovely, whereas his exes wouldn’t give me the time of day, even though I’m the mother of his children.

“When you’re in a relationship with somebody, you have got to respect their wishes which obviously Brian has respected exes Vogue and Delta’s wishes, whereas now his girlfriend is so understanding and totally gets it.”

McFadden dated Australian singer Delta Goodrem from 2004 to 2011, and married Williams, 33, in 2012. The couple separated in 2015, and the model is now married to former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.

Katona went on to claim that she “never met” Williams while she was married to McFadden, adding: “I think she waved at me once but I can't comment on Vogue when I don't know her."

She also said that her daughters with McFadden, Molly and Lilly-Sue, “adore” their father’s new girlfriend.

Standard Online has contacted Williams’ representatives for comment.

Katona is currently appearing on E4’s Celebs Go Dating, and recently described McFadden as “the love of [her] life” on the show.

“The only time I was ever in love was my first husband,” she told the series’ dating experts, adding: “I look back now and think ‘God we were so young, was it puppy love?’

“Brian was the only love of my life and it went downhill from there. When Brian left me I didn’t want to be rich and famous, I wanted to belong.”

Following her split from McFadden, Katona was married to Mark Croft from 2007 to 2011, and to George Kay from 2014 to 2017.
