Katona arrested in attack inquiry

Kerry Katona was arrested over suspected criminal damage and assault

Former pop star Kerry Katona has been arrested on suspicion of attacking a man in her home town of Warrington.

A 28-year-old woman from Wilmslow, understood to be the star, was detained at Hawthorne Business Park on Wednesday, Cheshire Police said.

The mother-of-four was also questioned on suspicion of criminal damage and a public order offence.

Police have bailed the former Atomic Kitten member, who was held in a police cell overnight, until 12 October.

Mother-of-four Ms Katona was cautioned by police two days ago on suspicion of possessing cocaine.

Dropped from Iceland

A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "A 28-year-old woman from Wilmslow has been released and granted police bail until 12 October at 9am pending further investigation."

She was held at Runcorn custody suite where she will return to answer bail next month, said a police spokesman.

Ms Katona lived in Warrington until moving to Wilmslow with her second husband, taxi driver Mark Croft.

She has two children with Mr Croft and two daughters with ex-husband Brian McFadden, a former singer with Irish band Westlife.

The former winner of ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! made headlines two weeks ago when a national newspaper published a video of her allegedly snorting cocaine in the bathroom of her home.

Ms Katona was dropped as the face of frozen food chain Iceland following the revelations.
