KERRY Katona had an amazing public row with a pal and told her: “You’re dead.”
Celebrity mum Kerry, 25, lashed into former best mate Michelle Hunter at Dublin airport.
Onlookers said the ex-Atomic Kitten and I’m A Celeb winner shoved Michelle after grabbing her by the arm, jabbed her finger and spat “You’re dead, you’re dead” in her face.
The showdown happened after Kerry and Michelle, 26, flew from Liverpool to Dublin on the same plane on Saturday.
Kerry later appeared on a TV chat show. The women were best pals until last summer, when they fell out over Kerry’s increasingly erratic behaviour.
Passengers in the arrivals lounge looked on as Kerry, who was with her two young daughters, suddenly “whacked” Michelle with her suitcase and then launched into a rant.
Michelle, who was travelling with boyfriend Dave Lea, told The Sun: “She deliberately hit me with her case as she walked by then grabbed my arm. She was stabbing her finger in my face.
“Kerry was screaming at the top of her voice ‘You’re dead, you best be scared because you know I’ll do it’.
“She called me a **** and kept screaming and shouting.
“I was terrified. Her face was twisted with rage. She was in a frenzy. I don’t know what she would have done if my boyfriend had not pulled her off.
“Kerry’s driver arrived and led her away. Even then, she carried on shouting ‘I’m going to kill you’.
“I have seen her like this before when she was drunk or on drugs. I think she was off her head.”
Yesterday mum-of-two Michelle made a formal complaint.
Kerry, who used to be wed to Westlife singer Brian McFadden, appears in ads for frozen foods store Iceland.
She could not be reached for comment last night.
A spokesman for the Irish Garda said: “We can confirm we are investigating an incident at Dublin airport.”
