Kerry Katona was forced to drop out of a headline Atomic Kitten gig in Dubai after falling ill in India - but only 21 people turned up to watch it.

The mum-of-four was due to perform Atomic Kitten hits alongside close friend Michelle Heaton and former Pop Idol star Zoe Birkett at a gig in Dubai dubbed the "Ultimate Ladies Night" with tickets costing £41 each.

But fans were left stunned as only 21 people turned up to watch.

With Kerry off sick, fans of the band were shocked to turn up and find that not one original member of the group was there to perform their songs.

A source told MailOnline: "It was billed as the 'Ultimate Ladies' Night' but only 21 people showed up. Their manager came out looking frantic as the time drew closer to them going on stage and the room stood empty.

"When he realised how small the crowd was they decided to push the show back by an hour. As they waited for the room to fill up, both Michelle and Zoe happily chatted to fans in the lobby.

"It was then that the girls told concert goers that Kerry had to pull out of the tour after she had taken ill before their gig in Mumbai six days ago."

Yikes!

However, despite the pitiful crowd, the two singers "did their best" and sang their hearts out for an hour, performing Atomic Kitten favourites.

The source added: "Everyone's heart went out to them but they were very professional and showed that the show must go on. Michelle did say it had been a tough week."

But it doesn't sound like it's the end of the drama, as Atomic Kitten's management are livid and are looking to pursue a legal claim against the promoter of the gig for falsely advertising the event as an official Atomic Kitten concert.

Even more dramatic is the fact that neither Liz McClarnon, Jenny Frost nor Natasha Hamilton were invited to perform at the concert.

The management team have said: "The Mumbai concert was not nor ever was supposed to be an Atomic Kitten Gig and has been falsely advertised by the promoter to which effect we are currently pursuing legal action against.

"This same promoter has then promoted another gig in Dubai once again falsely advertised as the girls where never even invited to attend to perform."
