Kerry Katona says she's 'too scared to go out' after she was robbed

Kerry Katona has been left 'too scared to go out' after she was robbed while staying in a plush hotel in Mayfair last week.

The former Atomic Kitten star, 44, said 'thousands' of her designer goods, including her Gucci luggage, was stolen when she left her bags with hotel concierge.

Detailing the terrifying ordeal in her New! magazine column, Kerry said she and her fiancé Ryan Mahoney popped out for some lunch while they waited for their room to be ready.

She wrote: 'Ryan and I were checking into the hotel, which I won’t name, and since our room wasn’t ready we left our bags with the concierge and grabbed some lunch.

'It was so triggering for me and I did feel emotional afterwards, it’s just so scary to think you’re not safe.

'When things like this happen it makes me scared to go out as I don’t want to be targeted.'

Kerry said her Gucci holdall, which is worth £1,200, medication for chronic back pain her phone and earphones were among the items that were robbed.

It comes after Kerry denied taking drugs at Hugh Grant's birthday party.

Kerry had been a surprise attendee at the celebrations for Hugh's 64th birthday party alongside the likes of Liz Hurley and Dame Joan Collins.

Shortly afterwards, she posted a video of herself 'cracking jokes' with A-Listers onto her Instagram Story but was horrified when her followers accused her of being under the influence.

Writing in her New! magazine column, she said: 'We had a great chinwag, he's so lovely. I went to bed around 10:30, I can never do a late night.

'Although, I posted a video to my Instagram the next morning where I was cracking jokes and just having a chat, and so many people commented that I was drunk or on drugs! '

The former Loose Women panellist has struggled with addiction in the past, and earlier this year revealed she was having reconstructive surgery done to combat the damage done by cocaine. 

Kerry was married to Westlife singer Brian McFadden from 2002 until 2006 and has Molly, 22, and 21-year-old Lilly-Sue with him but went on to have Heidi, 17, and Max, 16, with second husband Mark Croft. 

She also has  daughter DJ, nine, with the late George Kay  but attended the glitzy night with just  Molly and Heidi.

She added: 'I couldn't believe it, I don't even drink alcohol and it was the morning, all I had was water! It is a little annoying that I have to keep defending myself.'

The former I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner  has spoken spoke about her addiction issues in the past, previously checking herself into rehab in 2008 and 2010.

But she has now been proudly sober for 15 years and insisted that she 'can't sit with regret' in order to move on.

Showing off the results of the surgery to Good Morning Britain hosts hosts Ranvir Singh and Richard Madeley, she explained it had been her mum who first gave her drugs as a young teen.

Discussing her addiction, she explained: 'I think cocaine became my crutch, it was my best friend, it gave the support I needed, when I needed it. 

'I didn't do it everyday, I was more of a binger - once I started I couldn't stop. And then I could go months without it. It just became my best friend because everyone was using me really.'

Detailing how dependent she was at the time, she admitted: 'I actually OD'd at one point and got back up and took another line of cocaine straight away.'

Kerry recalled: 'I started drugs when I was 14, before I was famous. My first drug I took was with my mum. 

'I adore my mum and I love my mum, but we've had our ups and downs and my mum wasn't really a mum. She told me it was sherbet and it was speed and I thought that was normal!'

She went on to say that she had moved on from her past however, saying: 'My mum wasn't very well. It is what it is, it's happened I can't sit with regret and hatred. 

'I have to accept people who there are. My mum is drug free. But for a very long time I lived in a pity party, saying "poor me, the world owes me, it's everyone's fault but mine".
