Kerry Katona (complete with purple hair) and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Ampika Pickston have re-united, years after they lived together.

Sharing a post of the two of them together Ampika cryptically said, “Missed you so much and your beautiful children……. No words only 1 ……. L.O.V.E . A good friendship can NEVER be broken. So please make up with someone important…. Life’s toooooooo short 😥😥😥😥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Ampika also took to her stories beforehand to explain the situation slightly saying, "I'm really nervous and excited as I'm going to have a reunion with a very wonderful person who I've missed dearly. I've not seen this person for years.

"We had a silly argument over nothing and I've really really missed having her in my life."

Kerry also shared some sweet pictures of the duo to her own Instagram saying how much she had missed Ampika.

Whilst the reality duo have remained tight-lipped on why they originally fell-out, we’re glad to see that they’re back to being friends.

Feuds on reality TV series are a common occurrence.

Just a few days ago TOWIE’s Georgia Kousoulou spoke out about her ongoing feud with Liam ‘Gatsby’ Blackwell.

Fans suspected something was up after he was notably absent from their pregnancy announcement during the 2020 Christmas special and didn’t congratulate them following the arrival of their son Brody back in May.

Chatting exclusively to Closer ahead of the release of her new show Georgia & Tommy: Baby Steps, the reality star admitted she was reluctant to discuss her relationship with Gatsby as she wanted to avoid ‘drama’.

She told us, “I’m not going to comment on that one just because I feel like I’m in a really good headspace.

“All that drama from years ago… I’m the new me now. I don’t talk about that sh*t no more.”
