Kerry Katona has offered her pal Katie Price help in “turning her life around” after the former glamour model revealed she has parted ways with her fiancé, Carl Woods.
The pair have been friends since appearing in I’m A Celebrity in 2004 – a series that saw Katie famously meet her future husband (and divorcee) Peter Andre. Almost two decades on, the two mothers-of-five saw in the New Year together as Kerry provided OnlyFans star Katie with a shoulder to cry on over her latest split.
Katie experienced a turbulent time with Carl after they began dating in 2020, with their relationship dogged by rumours of break-ups. Talking directly to her fans on December 31, meanwhile, Katie said: ” We want to wish you a Happy New Year!”

Chiming in on her video, Princess then said: “Happy New Year everybody, this year is for good luck only.” And agreeing with her daughter’s statement, Katie then yelled: “Yeah, I’m single! We’re all gonna make it a good year!”

Kerry and Katie previously fell out themselves, however, with the former revealing in her Whole Again book that Katie had pulled out of her bridesmaid duties at the eleventh hour as the former Atomic Kitten singer prepared to marry the late George Kay.
They later put their differences aside, however, and now Kerry is a source of support for 45-year old Katie. An insider told Closer magazine: “In the past, when she’s been single, Katie has been known to go a bit wild as a bit of a coping mechanism, so pals are hoping she won’t be heading into trouble again. Kerry has really been encouraging Katie to slow down a bit and look after herself.
“Katie leans quite heavily on Kerry for support and guidance, and Kerry wants to help Katie continue to turn her life around this year. Katie had some low moments in 2023 and it’s heartbreaking that she doesn’t seem able to move on.”

The insider went on to claim that Kerry will be “blunt, honest and candid” with her friend to keep her on the right track, insisting: “Kerry doesn’t take any rubbish.” Katie appeared to be doing just fine last week, meanwhile, as she made a savage dig at Carl.
Announcing she is now free to “wear and do whatever I want”, she explained: “Well, I’m making an effort now because I’m allowed to wear and do what I want, and I am, and I’ve got time to do it.” She added on her podcast The Katie Price Show, with sister Sophie: “I’ve had filler in my bum. I’ve had a tattoo done, a full back tattoo, and my lips. That probably doesn’t make me feel that good, my body’s had a bit of a beating in 24 hours.”

Sophie then asked if her decisions are the result of a “breakup makeover”, to which Katie quipped that she was simply “making an effort”. She continued: “No, it’s called a catch-up and having time to be able to do it now. It’s like I’ve got time to do whatever I want, maintenance, nails, getting back on form to the Price.
“Like Princess said, ‘Oh mum, you look nice [in] what you’re wearing’. I said, ‘What do you mean?’, and she said, ‘Well, you’re just not always in your tracksuits’.”
