Brian McFaddenFormer Westlife star Brian McFadden has called his ex-wife Kerry Katona a “disgusting human being”.

Kerry, who gave birth to son Max earlier in the month, has claimed she went into labour five weeks early because Brian and his mum had kept the former couple’s daughters on a visit for longer than been agreed and Kerry worried that she would never see the two girls again. Brian’s mum had taken the girls, Molly and Lilly-Sue, to see Brian and his fiance Delta Goodrem in Australia, then decided that they should spend a couple of days with Brian’s extended family in Dublin.

However, Brian told the News of the World that his mum called about the change of plan and the girls were returned to Kerry more than a week before she went into labour.

He told the newspaper: “Kerry is a disgusting human being.”

“She manipulates people and plays the sympathy card for every stupid mistake she makes. Me and my family have been put through hell by her stupid games.”

“She uses my two girls as a weapon in her childish games. She is an embarrassment to me, my family and my children.”
