Kerry Katona has said that her marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden was "fake" almost twenty years after the pair got divorced.When the Atomic Kitten singer started dating the Westlife star, they were one of the hottest couples in showbiz however, after tying the knot in 2002, they divorced just two years later.Kerry and Brian share two daughters together, Molly Marie and Lilly-Sue but Kerry admits that they have no contact now as their daughters are grown up.The 42-year-old went on to explain that her two daughters often phone her fiancé Ryan Mahoney before they will phone their dad, Brian.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, she said: "Obviously first marriage I thought it would last forever, I just went along with it. "It was just fake, it wasn't real, it wasn't meant to be - it wasn't what I wanted, it was all fake and phoney."Kerry then said that growing up, she was "desperate to be loved" and "so desperate to please" but admits she went about it "the wrong way".On her relationship with Brian, she stated: "Not seen him [since Molly's 21st birthday] because the girls are grown up now, we've got no reason to talk."Not that we really talked, we never really had that kind of close relationship, they'll ring Ryan before they ring Brian.

If they need money, they ring Ryan."That's just how it is, he's got his own little family now, Ryan pays for Molly's car insurance.

Molly and Ryan have such a great relationship, it's funny when they're together."Even thought Ryan and Kerry's children have great relationships, the couple have discussed having a child of their own but are not planning to have one any time soon.Now in a happy marriage, Kerry says that she no longer relies on men for happiness as chilled-out Ryan
