Bankrupt Kerry Katona left with nothing
Thursday, 21 August 2008
Ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona has been declared bankrupt at the High Court after only paying three quarters of a £400k tax bill.
The 27 year-old former singer was being forced to pay a £417,000 tax bill - but came £82,000 short of the full amount.
Her legal team was even given an extra hour to come up with the final balance at court on Thursday following Kerry's failure to pay.
The bankruptcy petition was issued against the magazine columnist in January.
Kerry's representative, Luke Harris, asked the registrar to delay the matter until funds could be cleared, saying funds were available but cheques had not been cleared in time,.
He promised that as soon as the money was ready it would be brought to court and handed over.
But after the extra hour, Mr Harris explained he was "not in a position to assist further", leaving the registrar in no other position but to declare mother-of-four Katona bankrupt.
This is the latest in a long line of unfortunate incidents for Kerry, having suffered a failed marriage to Westlife singer Bryan McFadden, then hearing tabloid reports about new husband Mark Croft's infidelity.
She has been in and out of rehab in recent times too, as well as suffering from bipolar disorder.
