Philip Schofield Responds To Kerry Katona's This Morning Attack

Philip Schofield has responded to Kerry Katona's claims that the presenter was “ignorant” to her during an interview on This Morning.

At a press conference yesterday (May 4), the reality TV star said Schofield had accused of being drunk during the frank discussion last year.

Kerry, who suffers from bipolar disorder, said she found the presenter's questioning “ignorant and arrogant”.

But in a statement, Philip said: “I would like to point out that the recollection I have of the interview we did with her, differs considerably from hers.”

The interview prompted fears from viewers after Kerry responded in an incoherent manner to a number of Philip's questions.

The presenter said the programme had approcahed Kerry's condition in a “much fairer, gentler hand than she would have received in many other arenas”.

He added: “It is fantastic that she is attacking her problems head-on, it can’t be easy and is to be congratulated.”

Bipolar disorder affects half-a-million people in the UK. The Reality TV star was diagnosed with the condition in 2006.
