Kerry Katona breaks down in tears remembering her ‘devastating’ relationship heartbreak on Wednesday’s episode of Celebs Go Dating.
The Atomic Kitten star is returning to the E4 show after her split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney at the end of last year.
The couple were together for an impressive six and a half years but Kerry explained that constant arguments and lack of emotional fulfillment were at the core of the split.
‘We were arguing quite a lot, because he wasn’t there for me emotionally, and that used to really get to me,’ she said.
‘And it’s little things, just little things I want. I don’t want diamond rings, it’s the little things.
‘So I kicked off, “That’s it, we’re done’, and he said, “Look, I just don’t know if I love you anymore.”‘

The cameras then captured Kerry sitting back in her chair and covering her face, overcome with emotion at the painful memory.
‘I was devastated,’ she continued, before expert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn told her: ‘Kerry, you have gone through what […] might feel like 10 lifetimes of trauma.’
A tearful Kerry agreed, and patted herself on the back for how she’s handled a bumpy love life – having been married three times before her relationship with her ex Ryan.
Then, fellow dating expert Anna Williamson chimes in: ‘I truly hail you as one of the most resilient people I have ever met.’
Which sets emotional Kerry off again as she sobs: ‘I never had anyone to look after me.’
‘I’ve had to be my own hero, which I’m really proud of, but yeah, I struggle with that.’
It comes as the former singer showed off her figure while holidaying in Marbella, Spain.

‘Because if those things hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t be the person you are today that led you to the moment of meeting them.’
Kerry recently spoke to Closer about how she recently lost weight following her break-up from her ex Ryan and said she’s in ‘the best shape I’ve ever been in’.
At the time of their break-up, the reality star confirmed that the fitness trainer had moved out of their home following a ‘breach of trust’.
However, she has since said that she has come to the realisation that Ryan wasn’t for her as she reflected positively back on their separation.
Writing in her column for New! Magazine, she said: ‘I’m feeling really good going into 2025 – it’s going to be a great year.
‘I’m not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn’t the one for me. I’m a single woman and I am in the best relationship of my life, which is with myself.’
