KERRY Katona's husband George Kay has been arrested on suspicion of assault and the unlawful possession of a Taser.

George Kay, who has been married to the Padgate mum for more than a year, was arrested after police were called to the couple's home in Crowborough, East Sussex, on Saturday after reports that a woman was assaulted.
