KERRY Katona's mother will go on trial for benefit fraud, a court ruled on Monday.
Susan Katona, aged 48, of Dickenson Street in Orford is accused of receiving £5,622.77 in income support and a further £770 in housing benefit despite allegedly raking in cash from interviews about her daughter after she won 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here'.
Katona has pleaded not guilty to the offences.
She did not attend Runcorn Magistrates' Court on Monday to hear her case adjourned for trial on Friday, May 30.
