Pals say Kerry Katona is open to finding new love after ex husband George Kay starts dating a beauty queen
Insiders told Closer recently how she was relishing single life after spending eight months without a man – focusing instead on her health and happiness.
But sources say Kerry Katona is now feeling ready to find a new man after seeing pictures of her ex-husband George Kay – who she split from in August last year – cosying up to his new girlfriend.
A source told Closer magazine: “Kerry was irritated by the pics of George with Nicola. She thinks he knew people would have spotted them and they'd be pictured, and that they were only being so public just to rub it in her face. She’s been enjoying single life but it’s hard not to be unsettled when your ex moves on and you haven’t.”
Following their split last summer, Kerry – who has five children– accused George of being violent towards her and insisted her children had begged her to leave. George hit back, accusing Kerry of being the violent one and also having a drink problem – claims she strongly denied.
