KERRY Katona and Kim Woodburn have clashed over people getting tattoos, with Kim accusing Kerry of being “as common as muck” because of her inkings.
Kerry told GB News: “Tattoos also represent you as a person. It’s almost like saying you can’t get hair highlights when you go into work, you can’t wear your makeup.
“To me, I collect lots of art. My house is full of artwork. I’m really into it, like this here on my arm. This is my angel of my auntie who passed away.
“That’s a reminder for me. It tells a story. This is about my bipolar, and strength, a reminder of me. I have my children’s names tattooed on my wrists as reminder never to self-harm.
“There’s so much more to a story than somebody just looking for attention. It is a good reminder of where somebody comes from, of who they want to be, and it’s it’s like saying to a man, ‘you can’t wear makeup…I don’t like the colour of your skin.”
In discussion with Mark Dolan during GBN Tonight, she added: “I’m not being funny, let’s look at all these politicians now in the government, not one of them have got any.
“Not one of them have got a tattoo but I’ve got no confidence in them whatsoever. So maybe they should add a bit more tattoos on them.
“Let’s be a bit more realistic, a bit more down to earth, maybe then us common folk would trust them a bit more.
“But it’s not about how you look. It’s about how good you are as a person from well inside.”
Taking issue, Kim Woodburn, the former presenter of How Clean Is Your House?, said: “Please, can I have a say? Just be quiet.
“You’re a pretty woman. The tattoos on your arm look horrible. You’re a good-looking woman, you look as common as muck.”
Earlier, she said: “You can see a pretty little tattoo on somebody’s hand, a pretty little thing and you think it’s a tattoo but it’s rather nice. When you see these people tattoo from head to toe, there’s no flesh left, my love.
“They even have horns put in their head, they’ve got the term split. Who the hell is going to employ them? They’re limiting their work, aren’t they?”
