Katona given bankruptcy reprieve

Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has been given a further two-week reprieve in her bankruptcy battle with the taxman.

At a brief hearing in London a bankruptcy registrar adjourned the case until August 21.

In June, Katona was given until August 7 to find £157,000 to pay off the remainder of a £417,000 tax bill.

But when the case returned to court, lawyers representing the reality TV star and HM Revenue & Customs told the Bankruptcy Court that the parties had agreed there should be another "short adjournment".

Katona, 27, was not present for the proceedings.
