Knowing from a young age that she was destined for fame, Kerry Katona's life has been predictably unpredictable. With stability absent from the Warrington natives foster home hopping childhood, Katona's need to grow up quickly had both its pros and cons. This freedom that allowed her to be making £500 a night as a teenage lap dancer also led to a reliance on recreational drugs that lingered for years, but her fearless ambition to be self sufficient and escape soon paid off. Katona was noticed by Andy McCluskey and soon cast as an original member of the pop girl group, Atomic Kitten, in 1998.The band's mainstream success would turn the future Queen of the Jungle's life upside down and she soon began to realise that the rise to fame exceeded the reality. Numerous failed marriages, daily appearances in the intrusive British tabloids, countless controversies both true and false and a dormant music career began to be what the by now "reality star" became associated with in the decade that followed, compounded by the fact that she was struggling with bipolar in an era that saw a lack of education surround the topic of mental health.With Katona though, the fight is never over. Having seen levels of betrayal that seem unimaginable, the 'Whole Again' singer had run out of shoulders to lean on. The constant pillar however, was her children. Repeatedly falling short in her quest for identity, the answer was closer than Katona ever thought. Kerry Katona is a Mother.In episode 48 of The Michael Anthony Show, Katona holds nothing back as she honestly opens up on the good, bad and utterly ridiculous aspects of her thirty eight year old life. Still not without her occasional bump in the road, Kerry Katona remains a figure of resentment, adoration and intrigue to the general public. As opposed to reading about her life though clickbait/sensationalist headlines, we wanted to hear Kerry tell us about Kerry. It didn't disappoint.Episode available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and SoundCloud.Follow and Listen through the links in the bio of @themichaelanthonyshow.

Episode 44: Breaking Even (ft Keith Gillespie)Former Manchester United and Newcastle winger Keith Gillespie joins Episode 44 of The Michael Anthony Show to discuss his incredible life in the beautiful game. As part of the iconic ‘Class of 92’, the Northern Irish legend was tipped for greatness and having left the guidance of Ferguson to pursue his dreams on Keegan’s Tyneside, this young ‘entertainer’ showed that he was more than just hype.With Gillespie however, lived a destructive steak. With adulation and fame came isolation and for every trip to theatres like the Nou Camp, there was thousands to his local bookmakers. Falling victim to temptation and manipulation made Gillespie a media target, and he soon became as known for brawling in nightclubs as he did for tormenting full backs.Bankruptcy, prison and a stint in the Irish League accompanied Gillespie on his fall from grace. Often a man to be spoken of, Gillespie offers an honest reflection of his personal journey. With eighty six International caps and over 250 Premier League appearances, the horses mouth was fascinating.Listen Now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud.Links on page @themichaelanthonyshow.

With over 160 Premier League appearances to his name by the age of twenty three, Fabrice Muamba's career was destined for greatness. Learning his trade alongside Wenger's legendary invincible side of the early noughties, the robust midfielder was quickly becoming one of English footballs next great midfield hopes, proven by his astounding thirty three u21 caps. In March 2012 however, it all ended. Muamba suffered cardiac arrest at White Hart Lane and with his heart stopping for 78 minutes, was considered by the masses to be as good as gone. Miraculously, Muamba made a full recovery, but he would never step foot on the pitch again. In Episode 41 of The Michael Anthony Show, the former Bolton man opens up about his rise to the top and his struggles with his helpless fall to premature retirement. Muamba's life proves just as fascinating outside of the game. Arriving in London in 1999 without a word of English, the Zaire born eleven year old dreamed of nothing but survival having escaped the atrocities of a war torn Congo. Now aged 31, the father, coach and University has achieved that and more. Racism in football is also discussed.Follow and Listen to episode 41 of @themichaelanthonyshow on iTunes, Spotify and Soundcloud. Links in bio.
