Ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden is to fly back to Ireland next month to meet up with former wife Kerry Katona after she slated him over his parenting skills.
Reality star Kerry has criticised Irish crooner Brian numerous times since their marriage broke down in 2004, claiming he is not interested in seeing their children Molly, nine, and eight-year-old Lilly Sue.
Before Christmas, ex-Atomic Kitten singer Kerry said: "One person I'm not expecting to hear from this Christmas is Brian McFadden.
"He hardly pays for his kids, he rarely rings his kids and I hope he feels guilty because my four babies are so beautiful, intelligent, funny and amazing and he doesn't seem to be interested in either Molly or Lilly."
Brian is now set to fly into Ireland with girlfriend Vogue Williams within the next fortnight for a showdown with Kerry after he was left livid with her accusations.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, a source close to Brian said: "He is disgusted with Kerry's comments that he doesn't pay for his kids or want to see them.
"Brian was always planning to come back to Ireland and go over to the UK in the new year to spend time with Molly and Lilly Sue.
"He wants Vogue to be part of their life now too and he just wishes Kerry would stop making accusations about him. They made a pact a few months ago that they would stop the public slagging and start behaving better to each other.
"But Kerry timed her latest attack for just in time for Christmas - it was a real low blow for Brian."
Kerry is said to be fearful of the fact Brian is putting his love life before his kids as he did when he moved to Australia to be with ex Delta Goodrem.
If Kerry can give birth on her reality show, maybe she can get this fight televised. It would make great telly!
