TV star Kerry Katona has ten weeks to “fight bankruptcy” over a half a million tax bill.

The former Atomic Kitten singer had her representative plead for more time to pay £475,000 citing “cashflow problems” at a bankruptcy adjournment hearing in London.

Katona was given a ten-week extension by a High Court judge to pay the outstanding amount at the hearing this week, although she was warned her assets would be received if she did not meet the new deadline, reports the Sunday Mirror.
