Fresh blow for Kerry Katona as she loses huge reality show after split from fiance Ryan
KERRY Katona is set to lose a huge TV project after her shock split from Ryan Mahoney.
The TV favourite, 44, was said to be in talks for her own fly-on-the wall show with personal trainer Ryan, 36.
It would have featured the pair’s relationship ahead of their wedding.
But the series is now being scrapped after news of her split.
A source told The Sun: “Kerry was secretly working on a reality show that was going to follow them in the lead up to their wedding, as well as filming all the action from the big day.
“There wasn’t a channel attached yet but Kerry had done a deal with a big production company and was really excited.
“Sadly, now the marriage is off, there is no TV show.
“It’s a blow for Kerry but right now, she has enough on her plate dealing with her heartbreak and her mum in hospital.
“It’s not a great time for her, but she is a survivor and has battled through a lot worse.”
It comes after The Sun revealed that Kerry’s relationship began to go downhill when she felt “unsupported” by her partner during recent events.
A source told The Sun: “It’s not like anyone has cheated – Kerry’s felt over the last couple of months that Ryan hasn’t been that supportive – when she moved into a new home he was no help.
“Basically since her mum went into hospital he’s not been there for her.”
The pair sparked split rumours earlier this year when she moved in with her mum.
Kerry spoke out while visiting her sick mum Sue in hospital, after Sue was rushed to A&E with blood clots found in her lungs.
A source said that Kerry became fed up with her partner being “lazy” and didn’t see a long-term future with him.
They added: “It was on the rocks before her mum was sick and that was the final straw.
“He’s not a bad person, he’s just lazy and she doesn’t want lazy.
“Ryan’s still living at the house while Kerry is staying with her mum. She’s really really sad about it.”
Earlier today Kerry today shared an update on Sue with her followers this week, telling them the doctor had been to visit Sue on the ward.
One fan cracked a joke in the comments on Instagram, writing: “So much love to you both, and is the Dr single?”
Kerry typed back to the fan: “No, but I am!”
It comes as mum-of-five Kerry opened up about plans to marry Ryan, but later revealed she felt “unsupported” by her younger fiancé.
She said her eldest daughters Lilly-Sue and Molly – who she shares with ex-husband Brian McFadden – insisted they wanted to be there, and so the Las Vegas wedding was off.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Kerry said: “Ryan and I were looking to go to Vegas to finally get married but Molly and Lilly said, ‘Don’t you dare do that without us’.
“I told them they’d already been at too many of my weddings! That put those plans on the backburner.”
Kerry later had surgery on her nose after years of drug abuse left her at risk of it collapsing.
The gruelling operation saw surgeons take a piece of her rib to rebuild her nose.
Following the operation she confessed to feeling “unsupported” by Ryan.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: “I want to say a massive thank you to my mum, who has been my rock during the last couple of weeks.
“I’ve been staying at hers and she’s really looked after me.
“If I’m honest, I’ve felt more lonely than ever during my recovery. Ryan was away getting a tattoo in London when I went into hospital and I haven’t seen him since my surgery over a week ago.
“That upset me, because it made me feel unsupported and I could have done with the emotional support.
“I’m always the ‘strong mum’ in our house and this week I really wanted to be looked after and have him here, but I had my mum instead.”
Ryan got down in on one knee on holiday in Spain while celebrating Kerry’s 40th birthday.
Ryan popped the question after asking Kerry’s five children, Molly, Lilly, Heidi, Max, and DJ, for their blessing.
