Former Westlife star Brian McFadden has revealed that he 'probably wouldn't have left' his ex-wife Kerry Katona if he had been in his current 'headspace'. The singer, who was married to the former Atomic Kitten star from 2002 to 2004, made the admission in a recent interview with The i Paper.
Reflecting on his decision to leave the band in 2004 to spend more time with Kerry and their children, McFadden said: 'If I was in a headspace like I am now, yeah, I probably wouldn’t have left. But I can't change how my head was back then.' The couple have two daughters together, Molly and Lily.
Despite the split, Kerry has spoken fondly of her time with Brian. In a podcast interview in September, she described him as 'so funny' and said he 'really loved' her. She added: 'I think he was the first proper person who genuinely cared about my well-being... He was my knight in shining armour.'
McFadden, who has since remarried to Danielle Parkinson, also commented on his time in Westlife, saying he was 'probably the one that was OK' and that he 'had the craic' and learned from 'other people’s mistakes'.
The singer is set to appear on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special on BBC One on December 25.
