'It's a struggle - but I've got through worse

She's been engaged to her fiancé Ryan Mahoney for almost three years, but Kerry Katona has repeatedly said she's in no rush to tie the knot a fourth time.

Now, following the surprise news that her former Atomic Kitten bandmate Liz McClarnon wed in a low-key ceremony last week, our columnist admits she is also ready to walk down the aisle. However, the star - who has been married to Brian McFadden, Mark Croft and the late George Kay - reveals zero planning has been put in place.

Here, 42-year-old Kerry - mum to Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 15 and Dylan-Jorge [DJ], nine - talks about her fears about becoming a wife again, how she feels about adding to her family in her forties and her plans to relocate to Spain...

Hi, Kerry! You've been talking about a Las Vegas wedding for so long, what's happening with that?

Me and Ryan are very laid-back and I'm sure when it does happen, it'll be very last minute. It will definitely be Vegas in an Elvis church. We might be planning for November, but there's nothing set in stone. I've said to everybody, "If you want to come, come." I'm not organising a sit-down celebration. I'll tell them where it is and they can come, but I'd be happy just with me, Ryan and the kids.

How do you feel about getting married for the fourth time?

I do get scared about the prospect of marriage, because I've got three failed ones behind me. For me, I have to get George's death certificate before getting married again because I'm a widow. I'm still married, we never divorced. That's a bit of a trigger for getting married again, too. But I have been saying a lot to Ryan recently, "Are we doing this or not?"

What are your plans for getting the UK marriage certificate?
