The friendship between Kerry Katona and Katie Price is “terrible,” as friends worry that the pair will fall apart again following their tour, as Kerry is “upset” over Katie’s selfish behavior.
They appear to be the best of friends as they tour the nation with their outrageous stage show, An Evening With Katie Price And Kerry Katona, but pals are worried there may be trouble on the horizon for the pair.
After spending weeks traveling together, Katie and Katie are concerned that their friendship may start to show signs of cracks, especially given their past rifts and Katie’s habit of stirring up controversy during their performances. Katie, 47, shocked viewers last week when she made an appearance at the London stoppage of their tour to address the rape allegations that her ex-husband Kieran Hayler is facing. Hayler has vigorously refuted this claim.

She said she had a “real reason to be wary of things” when referring to “current news,” adding, “I can’t say any more on it, but I’m sure you know what I’m getting at.” The mother-of-five also shocked the audience when she named the TV personality who she claimed raped her at a Grimsby gig a few years ago. There are concerns that Katie’s bringing up such emotionally charged subjects in the already tense setting of a grueling tour could create a “pressure cooker” environment for the pair, despite the fact that Katie is being as open as ever.
They have a love-hate relationship, according to a source close to the news. Katie has a very, very close friendship with Kerry, but the relationship has historically been rocky due to toxic disagreements. The source continues, noting that Kerry, a mother-of-five, is very fond of Katie, but that her pal’s unpredictable nature can be painful.
“Katie can sometimes be selfish, and Kerry can sometimes take on too much.” Katie has been late for their theater performances, which has caused some grief for Kerry. She is always encouraging, but it can eventually make her miserable.
As the tour progresses, pals worry that the tension could become a ticking time bomb because they both have commitments, their kids, and a lot going on. It’s only natural for them to split up as a result of their time together, and Kelly can only take so much.
Katie and Kerry, 45, have a history of falling out then making up over the course of their 21-year friendship. The girls first grew close while in the I’m A Celebrity jungle in 2004. Kerry was a bridesmaid at Katie’s wedding to Peter Andre the following year, but two years later their friendship hit a rocky patch when Katie branded Kerry a “druggie”.
She also asserted that Mark Croft, Kerry’s second husband, was a “bully.” Kerry later claimed Katie had apologized, which saved their friendship, despite admitting she was upset by her pal’s allegations. However, the agreement was not sustained. Katie reacted furiously in 2008 when Kerry publicly criticised her parenting abilities and refused to invite her to son Max’s baby shower.
After Kerry described Katie’s ex-husband Pete as the “ideal candidate” for her new boyfriend, things got even more tense between them two years later. In terms of their tense relationship, mutual friend and I’m A Celeb co-star Alex Best remarked, “It’s a strange relationship – they’re talking one minute and then they’re not. It’s a little toxic and turbulent.
Kerry and Katie had reconciled when they married in 2014, and Kerry asked to be Katie’s bridesmaid, only for the reality star to resign at the last minute. Due to having given birth to daughter Bunny weeks earlier, she chose to attend instead, which caused bride Kerry to have her nose out of joint.
In her 2022 autobiography, Whole Again: Love, Life and Me, she admitted, “I wasn’t best pleased.” I felt a little sluggish because I was “probably a bit of a bridezilla.”
The duo worked things out as usual, but Kerry once more slammed Katie for saying she had “crossed a line” with her plastic surgery following her facelift in 2019.
Kerry and Katie – whose 18-year-old daughters Princess and Heidi are also close – spent last Christmas together, but our source says that won’t be a regular occurrence. Kerry is now loved-up with new boyfriend Paolo Margaglione, while Katie has been fighting off rumours of a rift with her boyfriend of 18 months, Married At First Sight star JJ Slater.
Our source claims that Katie and Kerry have been spending money on each other and want to take some time off so Christmas is off the cards. The dust needs to settle and there is some room once the tour is over. They will eventually fall out, make up, and then make up again.
They continued, “Pals are concerned that their relationship will end again, but they are optimistic and believe their friendship is stronger than ever.” They simply want to forget about the past.
No one will jeopardize their friendship, Katie declared in a statement on social media last year, “Nobody will tarnish our friendship, we will always support each other, and we are there for each other if we really need help. We are there for each other.”
