Kerry Katona has criticised Karen Clifton for crying over being turned away from a barber shop.
Last week, Strictly Come Dancing pro Karen was left distraught after a barber refused to cut her hair because she is female.
Karen posted a video to her Instagram Stories, in tears as she said the incident left her feeling “awful”.
However, Kerry believes the dancer overreacted.

Writing in her column for New! magazine, Kerry said: “I saw Strictly’s Karen Clifton going mad last week over the fact that a barber shop wouldn’t give her a trim.
“I’m sorry, but that’s so over the top. It’s a bloody barber shop! It’s like a man going into a women’s changing room – you can’t do that. It’s not sexist or outrageous – these places are designed for men!”
She added: “Honestly, it’s ridiculous. Sometimes the whole feminist thing can go too far the other way. There’s always something to complain about these days.”
It comes after Karen took to her Instagram to voice her outrage to fans.
She said: “I don’t ever really do posts like this but I thought this was really important because this has never really happened to me before. I just went to get my haircut to a barbers, Jacks of London.
“I had gotten my hair cut there before just on the sides, a fade, it’s my new look. I had been there twice before. I went over today to get a haircut and they said I wasn’t allowed to because I was a woman.”
Karen said she was told the establishment ‘doesn’t cut women’s hair’.
She added: “I felt really (expletive) because this has never happened to me before. The fact that I was a woman and couldn’t get my hair cut because it’s all male. What are we, in the stone ages? It really affected me.
“I’m not getting anything fancy done. Even if I was, the fact that I was turned away because, no women allowed.”
In response to Karen’s video, Jacks of London released a statement, saying: “Earlier this morning TV celebrity Karen Clifton was informed that Jacks of London does not cater for women.
“Her experience has alerted us to the need to make it explicit to our entire team that Jacks of London does give barber cuts to everyone, regardless of gender.”

Their lengthy statement was given to Metro, and concluded: “Many of our barbers have had barber AND hairdressing training, but not all.
“Barbers and hairdressers require different skills and training; a hairdresser may stumble over cutting a pattern in a fade while a barber would struggle to cut a bob.
“This is why there tends to be a gender divide between hair salons and barber shops, but for anyone of any gender who wants an undercut, as Karen currently sports, a tight fade or a short, back and sides, Jacks of London barbers CAN AND WILL deliver.”
