Brian McFadden's Savage Joke About Ex-Wife Kerry Katona Sparks Fan Backlash

Former Westlife star Brian McFadden has stirred controversy with a resurfaced clip in which he makes a brutal joke about his ex-wife, Kerry Katona. The 46-year-old singer, currently touring with Boyzone's Keith Duffy as part of Boyzlife, quipped that he wore a white suit to their 2002 wedding just to annoy her.

In the clip, McFadden initially claimed they are on good terms, saying: 'It's ok, we're friends now, I follow her on Facebook.' He then joked about the difficulty of parking outside her house on Father's Day, adding: 'I have to park at the NCP and walk two miles... Of course I don't follow her on Facebook - Don't be ridiculous!'

Kerry's fans were quick to defend her, with comments calling the remarks 'disgusting' and accusing McFadden of having no role in raising their two daughters, Molly Marie, 25, and Lilly-Sue, 23. The couple divorced in 2006 after McFadden's infidelity, including cheating on his stag do hours before the wedding.
