KERRY Katona has told how she still fears her abusive ex George Kay, even though he died in 2019.
The ex Atomic Kitten singer has opened up about former rugby league player George, who died of a drug overdose in 2019, in her third autobiography.
She said recalling his violent outbursts and threats in the book Whole Again – Love, Life and Me: My Story has sent her anxiety flooding back.
She explained in an interview with New magazine: "It’s been really hard, my anxiety has been through the roof. I’ve been stuck in the past, feeling full of anxiety and fear.
"George has such a hold over me even in death I still feel scared he’s going to get me, he was so manipulative and calculated. I’m also very aware George is dead and he isn’t here to voice his side of the story. But this is all fact – and it’s my truth.
"He was so vile to me. I’m telling you now, if George was still alive and I’d have stayed with him, I’d be dead.

"I would not be here today. My mum, Sue, always used to say she was waiting for the police to knock on the door to say he had killed me.
"I once took pictures of my bruised and battered body and sent them to my mum and manager.
"I said, ‘If something happens to me, I haven’t done this to myself. Please know it was George."
Kerry had her youngest daughter, Dylan Jorge (DJ for short) during her relationship with George.

She recalled after their split: "We were on Facetime and DJ wouldn't speak to him, she was only three, and you know what kids are like.
"Ge was threatening us both and then he said to me, 'How's your mum, Kerry? Is she alright? Before winking and ending the call."
The pair were married for three years. In her book Kerry said George accused her of flirting with Blue star Antony Costa and then beat her.
Recounting what happened, Kerry writes: “’You s***!’ he screamed as he grabbed a fistful of my hair, which was cropped close to my head at the time. I could feel my skull burning.
“’You disgusting s***,’ he raged at me. ‘You think you can make a fool out of me, do ya? Do ya?!’ I was sobbing at this point, still not entirely sure why me sitting with my mate had warranted this sort of reaction.”

Kerry continued to say that she’d begged George to stop but he “skull dragged” her across the hotel room.
She said: “He locked me in the bathroom as punishment. I slept in a bathtub that night, cold, alone, petrified."
