While Kerry Katona looked happy and healthy on holiday with new boyfriend Ryan, friends fear that she’s covering up her inner struggles.

She appeared carefree and loved-up while frolicking on a beach with new boyfriend Ryan Mahoney in Thailand last week. And an onlooker who spotted Kerry Katona and Ryan – whom she met on dating app Bumble in July – told Closer, “They looked really loved-up. Kerry is clearly smitten with Ryan and was enjoying every moment.”

But just days earlier, the mum of five sparked concern among fans after blasting her first husband, Brian McFadden, her former Atomic Kitten bandmates, and even her own children at a PA at the Eagle London bar. Kerry turned up to the club dressed in skintight PVC trousers, a top slashed to her waist and pink and purple hair. Speaking about being unlucky in love, Kerry called Brian “the fat Westlifer”, and asked the audience, “Do you all know my husbands? Cos I haven’t got a f***ing clue.”

ANGRY RANT

Kerry split from Brian, 38 – father to Molly, 17, and LillySue, 15 – in 2004, after four years of marriage. She went on to wed cabbie Mark Croft in 2007 and had Heidi, 11, and Maxwell, 10, with him, before splitting in 2011. She then tied the knot with third husband George Kay, 38 – her childhood sweetheart and father to five-year-old daughter DJ – in 2014 before parting ways last year.
