Kerry Katona has checked into rehab to get treatment for depression.

The ex-Atomic Kitten singer was admitted into The Priory, a clinic of choice for many troubled celebrities.

Filming on her MTV reality show, Crazy In Love, will be suspended until she comes out.

The mum-to-be had previously been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which causes dramatic mood swings.

Her publicist, Max Clifford, says that Katona's ongoing battle with the condition is the reason she has gone to rehab and is part of her regular treatment.

Clifford denied reports that the Katona had suffered a nervous breakdown.

He said: "Everything is good in terms of her marriage and career-wise.

"She suffers from bi-polar disorder. Some days she is down. There is nothing different at the moment."

The 27-year-old is expecting her fourth child at the beginning of May.
