Kerry Katona has been applauded by fans for her candid discussion about her struggles with literacy, admitting that she didn't learn to read or write properly at school. The 44 year old former Atomic Kitten singer confessed in an interview that when she relocated to Ireland with her ex-husband, Westlife's Brian McFadden , she was unable to read or write, reports OK! Speaking on Ireland AM, Kerry revealed: "I remember when I moved over to Ireland with Brian when I was pregnant, I couldn't read or write. I'm dyslexic.
With Brian being on tour all, the time, I did a typing course and taught myself how to read and write properly. The Whole Again singer continued: "I'll never forget being an Atomic Kitten, bearing in mind I had four sets of foster parents, three refuges and I went to eight different schools which I was very rarely in because my mum never let me go to school really. So I couldn't even spell the word 'orange' at some point.
" However, Kerry also shared a humorous anecdote about her illiteracy leading to a misunderstanding she thought her bandmate had ordered a 'dead baby' from a restaurant menu. She recounted a time when she was dining at a restaurant with Atomic Kitten, and it was Liz McClarnon's turn to order. "I remember I was so dim when it came to restaurants, my local restaurant was like a chippy.
I was in this Mexican restaurant and I remember Liz ordered fajitas and I was just thinking 'Oh my gosh, she's going to eat a dead baby'...
Fajitas, like foetus. That.
