KERRY Katona is refusing to pay for her daughter Heidi to go to sixth form.
The former Atomic Kitten singer revealed the reason behind her controversial parenting move in her New magazine column.
Heidi, 16, is at a crossroads as her schooling comes to an end.
She keeps changing her mind about what she does when she leaves next month, claims 43-year-old Kerry.
The mum of five wrote: “She asked to carry on her studies in a private school’s sixth form but I refuse to pay for that because she’s not in school enough as it is and she hates it.
“It’d be different if she decided she wanted to go to drama school – I would pay for that because she’s a born star and is really good.

“I can see her being famous and she could build a name for herself if she posted relatable TikToks or something, but does any 16-year-old ever listen to their mum?”
In 2022, Kerry opened up about Heidi’s struggle with anxiety.
The teen had confessed that she “didn’t want to be here any more”.
She says the coronavirus pandemic robbed her of her “self-confidence”.
