Katie Price and Kerry Katona just took us back to the year 2004 in their pantomime vape break outside Northwich Memorial Court.
The Mucky Mansion star, 46, and the Atomic Kitten singer, 44, are starring together in the Christmas pantomime Cinderella, and just as soon as rehearsals got underway the pair were spotted bonding over a vape break.
It was the first day of rehearsals, and Kerry wore a Burberry-style cardigan, grey tracksuit bottoms, Ugg boots, and a top emulating a Vogue magazine cover, which instead said: ‘Vague.’
Meanwhile, Katie rocked a tight white long-sleeved top, grey jogger bottoms – matching! – and some mighty silver snow boots. As you do.
However, as we were lulled into the blissful ease of 2004 – when women everywhere walked lopsided on collapsed Ugg boot knock-offs, and when Jane Norman was the Queen of fashion – a pink substance besmirched the tranquility of the nostalgic scene.
An unknown pink liquid appeared on Katie’s white top and the metal handrail. It isn’t known if this liquid was from the vaping device, or some gloriously sticky lip gloss, but whatever it was, Kerry looked shocked.
If the vapes didn’t give it away, these pictures weren’t from 20 years ago, but yesterday, as the legendary duo join forces to prepare for their Cinderella pantomime, which they are starring in together as the wicked step-sisters.
The 29-night run of Cinderella is kicking off on December 8 at Northwich Memorial Court and its final curtain will be on New Year’s Eve at 6pm.
These glorious snaps come after it was reported the noughties huns’ involvement broke ticket sale records for the theatre.
Thankfully for the pair it still looks to be selling very well, so fans of Kerry and Katie – or Cinderella, for that matter – should book their tickets sharpish to avoid disappointment.
Revealing the news of the casting on her podcast, Katie said as per The Sun: ‘I’ve signed up to another panto! Cinderella!
‘I’ve signed up for Cinderella and I’m one of the ugly sisters – and guess who is the ugly sister I’m doing it with – it’s Kerry Katona!’
Katie continued: ‘So Kerry got me the gig because she has been working with them for six years.
‘And she was like “why don’t you come and do this panto”, and she said it was for the ugly sisters and I said, “oh are we ugly then?” and she said we can still be really pretty.’
The stars met in 2004 during I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and looked thick as thieves still as they posed together in the promotional images for the performance.
Last year Katie starred in Sleeping Beauty at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena, with many fans left in utter hysterics at her lacklustre performance.
Despite the reaction, Katie took to Instagram to share how much she enjoyed her time as the Wicked Fairy Carabosse after the run.
Meanwhile, Kerry starred in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs last year and over Easter stepped in to the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood after a last-minute dropout.
