Kerry Katona’s Stressed-Out Nanny Quits!

Kerry Katona's nanny, Gemma, has reportedly quit – she was often left to single-handedly look after all four of Katona's children and was subjected to her employer's constant fighting with husband Mark Croft.

Former Atomic Kitten performer, Kerry has four children – Molly, 7, Lilly Sue, 5, Heidi 22 months and Maxwell, 8 months.  Both Kerry and husband Mark tried to convince Gemma to stay.  A source said, "No amount can compensate for the hassle she deals with."

Gemma's pal added, "She's fed up of listening to Kerry and Mark scream at each other and being left to look after four kids single-handedly most of the time."

Kerry's known for causing controversy – she was photographed smoking during some of her pregnancies, has been accused of being an alcoholic, has slurred her way through interviews and has had some very public tantrums.  She's often labeled as "trainwreck."

An insider close to Katona said, "It would do her good to look after the kids herself.  It would be good for her image too.

"She is terrified of losing her Iceland deal, her main source of income.  Showing she's a hands-on mum would help."

I'm not knocking anyone with a nanny (heck, there were times I wished I had one!), especially if they're a working parent – but what I don't understand is why some people want the nanny to practically raise the kids?

Perhaps Kerry should get her act together for the sake of her children.  Just sayin'.
