Kerry Katona addresses Katie Price ‘moving in’ saying ‘it’s not easy’

Kerry Katona has addressed the reports that she has moved in with best pal Katie Price and admits things are 'not easy' following her split from fiancé Ryan Mahoney.

Kerry Katona has spoken out following the reports that best friend Katie Price has moved in with her while they rehearse for a festive panto performance of Cinderella in Northwich this Christmas. Taking to her weekly New! Magazine column, the 44-year-old confirmed that Katie was not living with her, but will be coming for 'lots of sleepovers' while they are closer to one another.

"I’ve started panto rehearsals now for our performance of Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court, which have been going really well. Katie Price is in it with me and she’s been doing so well, it’s nice to have her around," began Kerry. She then cleared up: "I did see reports that she had moved in with me – which definitely isn’t true. She will be coming for lots of sleepovers while she’s here though, which will be nice."

Kerry has recently split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney, citing a 'breach of trust' for their separation, after six years together. And as a mother-of-four, she admits it's tough juggling family life and work before the festive period without help of a partner. "I’m flat out with work at the moment and it’s difficult balancing that and the kids. I’m adjusting to being a single mum again and it’s not easy, I have to split myself into lots of different pieces.

Announcing her split earlier this month, Kerry confirmed that fitness trainer Ryan had moved out of their family home - just a week after she detailed how they were trying to 'work through' their issues. She said in her column at the time: "Last week I spoke about how Ryan and I were having a tough time and now he has moved out of the house. We are no longer together and It's been a really tough week - I never in a million years thought this would happen. Without going into too much detail, there has been a breach of trust between us.

"I don't know if we'll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much. I feel like everything has heaped on recently and it's so much to deal with, I am really struggling. But I know I can get through it no matter what happens, I've been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens."

Now, her pal Katie will be close by for support as they have kicked off rehearsals for Cinderella, in which they will portray the pantomime's wicked step-sisters.
