Kerry Katona says she blames herself for past violent relationships in a new interview.

On The Art Of Winning, the 37-year-old said that she would sometimes provoke her partners into violence because it's what she felt she deserved.

At one point, (she doesn't specify with which partner,) she claims she was having epileptic fits from drug-taking, in a bid to get a violent reaction.

Honest account: Kerry Katona has said she blames herself for violent relationships and admits she has had epileptic fits from drug-taking to provoke a partner into violence

She said: 'My last husband [George] was quite aggressive and he was quite violent towards me'

Kerry has been married three times and has five children. She is currently in the process of divorcing George and says she no longer wants a man.

She told the show: 'My last husband [George] was quite aggressive and he was quite violent towards me.

'I'm not blaming nobody, I'm not blaming my mum for the drugs, I'm not blaming my husbands for the violence - I allowed myself to be in those situations.

'No one forced me to do anything I didn't want to do.

'I'd be having epileptic fits from taking drugs and it was almost as if I was being feisty towards my husband because I wanted to get a good hiding because I thought that's what I deserved.

'But I'm stronger than ever now, I've walked away from it and I've turned it around.'

Talking about her wish to create the perfect family unit, Kerry admitted:

'I've been on a mission to find the right kind of man, when I was younger I wanted to have a husband and children; the nine-to-five job, put the tea on the table and do their homework.

'I think that's why I got married so many times, to try and recreate my dream of having that security...the whole 1950s thing is what I wanted.'

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for both Kerry Katona and George Kay for further comment.

Kerry split from George in June 2017 after three years of marriage - they had four-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge together.

She previously split from him in October 2015 after thirteen months together and a month later appeared in court accusing him of beating her up at their home, after allegedly arming himself with a Taser-style device and a knife.

However he was later acquitted after prosecutors revealed that they didn't have enough evidence to secure a conviction.

She was previously married to Mark Croft, with whom she shares daughter Heidi, 10, and Maxwell, nine.

Before that, she was married to Brian McFadden and they are parents to Molly, 16 and Lilly-Sue, 15.
