On ex-husband’s cocaine death

HER QUEST FOR BLISS

-

‘You dickhead, what have you done?’ “He was lying there, smirking and I asked him, ‘Why have you done this to DJ? She’s so beautiful? Why have you done it?!”

“I’m so angry at him. I’m furious that he couldn’t leave that s*** well enough alone. He loved it more than me or his daughter.”

Kerry – who has had mental health and cocaine problems in the past – couldn’t bring herself to go to the funeral.

But she is adamant her husband didn’t commit suicide. She said: “I don’t know where this ‘eating cocaine’ thing has come from. His death was accidental. George was too vain to kill himself.”

Childhood sweetheart­s Kerry and George rekindled their romance after a chance meeting in 2012.

But his cocaine abuse quickly became a huge problem in their relationsh­ip.

“George was the nicest guy you could ever meet,” Kerry said, fighting back tears. “He’d take care of my nan! But then he was a complete psycho. “He’d come into the house, off his head hallucinat­ing and get a knife, while the children were there.

“He would steal my credit card to buy me gifts, and then threaten to stab me in the head. The police came out to my house 22 times.” And George’s jealousy was also out of control. Kerry said: “I once sat on Anthony Costa’s knee, the groomsman at my wedding, a man who’s basically like my brother.

“George called me a slag and I had to sleep in the bathtub that night. Two black eyes weren’t uncommon.” In their last GEORGE Kay was Kerry’s most recent attempt to find married bliss.

Former Westlife singer Brian Mcfadden was Kerry’s first husband.

She had their daughter Molly, now 17, in 2001.

They were both just 22 when they married. Daughter Lilly-sue, now 16, followed in 2003, but they split a year later.

Kerry met cab driver Mark Croft in 2005 and gave birth to daughter

Heidi, 12. Son Max followed.

Kerry says Mark helped fuel her £500-a-week cocaine ine habit before they split plit – allegation­s he denies. enies. meeting 18 months ago, Kerry y begged him to divorce her, but ut he chillingly replied: “You’re my y wife and you’ll always be my y wife.”

Her guilt and shame over the e nature of his death is clear. r. But ultimately, Kerry’s anger err is saved sa for herself.

She S said: “I went through h so much with my second d husband h Mark Croft, but t then I sorted myself out t and I was living a good d life – and then I bloody y met George.

“I’m eternally grateful f for DJ, but I’m so, so angry. a

“I’ll never get over this but bu he can’t hurt me again aga and I have to stop punishing pun myself.”
