After spending time together recently, insiders reveal how Katie Price has turned to Kerry Katona after enduring a difficult time
She’s had arough few years having faced bankruptcy, toxic splits and a stint in rehab. And last week, Katie Price let her hair down as she hit the town with Geordie Shore girls Chloe Ferry and Sophie Kasaei, where she writhed around in a taxi as they headed to a party.
Chloe, 28, filmed herself to tell fans that pal Katie –who has been in an on/off relationship with Carl Woods –is “single”, saying, “She is looking fire!” Katie, 43, added, “We’ll be having a good night tonight girls!” before grinding on a car seat.
The group were then seen FaceTiming Katie’s teenage daughter Princess, 16, with Sophie, 34, not holding back on the expletives, saying of Princess, “She’s a f***ing supermodel in the making!”
Katie’s wild night out came just aweek after her cosy New Year’s Eve night in with close pal Kerry Katona –with Katie posting a selfie of them together captioned, “Here’s to fresh beginnings”. Kerry later said the pair watched boxsets and had a sleepover, adding, “It was nice to see Katie in a good place”.
But now insiders tell Closer that Kerry, 45, is adamant that she wants to keep her pal in a good place to avoid her spiralling as she has done in the past. Asource says, “Kerry and Katie both had a great time together on New
Year’s Eve. They’ve been in touch for a while now and became really close again in the run-up to Christmas. Kerry loved seeing her looking and feeling so well, “Katie’s night out with Chloe has left many of her mates raising their eyebrows. 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.
GUIDANCE
“Over the years, Kerry has always been a rock to Katie and one of the few people she really trusts. Katie can confide in her knowing she won’t gossip. Kerry just wants to make sure she surrounds herself with the right people and stays on the right track.
“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 to be able to move on.”
The pair –who both shot to fame in the ’90s –became friends in 2004 after meeting on I’m ACelebrity! –where Kerry was crowned Jungle Queen and Katie met her first husband, Peter Andre. Kerry acted as their bridesmaid the following year, but their friendship hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
