Long-time besties Kerry Katona and Katie Price have seemingly patched things up after their partners had a holiday bust-up, causing a rumoured rift.
In the whirlwind of events that is Katie’s latest romance, it’s easy to forget those early days of her blissful honeymoon with Lee Andrews in Dubai.
Since the shock wedding in January, which came days after they met, Lee’s been accused of being AI, being a scammer, being kidnapped, and has now allegedly turned up in jail.
Fans have been left baffled as Katie, 48, fluctuates between attempting to rekindle with her husband and joking that he’s ‘missing’.
While the romance was still fresh, best mate Kerry, 45, flew out to meet him – but things didn’t go to plan.
The Atomic Kitten’s own boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, 33, joined and reportedly clashed with Lee, who is in his 40s.
Did Kerry Katona and Katie Price fall out?
All seemed to be going to plan as the group took some sun-soaked selfies together, posting them on social media.
However, things took a turn when Lee allegedly punched Paolo – who Kerry met on Celebs Go Dating – while at the hotel after some ‘cross words’, for which Kerry was not present.
At the time, reports alleged that Lee was acting in an ‘aggressive manner’ as he and Katie argued during their trip, prompting personal trainer Paolo to ‘step in’.
This only angered Lee, who reportedly began shouting at him as matters became ‘very heated’.
An onlooker claimed Lee had thrown ‘some punches’, with one of them landing Paolo ‘square on the head’, prompting the PT to leave.
Katie later denied that there were any ‘punch-ups’ between the two men, but Kerry quietly unfollowed Lee on Instagram after the holiday.
A source told The Sun: ‘At the end of the day, her loyalties are with Paolo, not Katie and her new man.’
‘She is still on speaking terms with Katie and following her, but she doesn’t want anything to do with Lee now. Publicly, she won’t badmouth him, but her unfollowing him speaks a thousand words.’
Are Kerry Katona and Katie Price friends again?
Ever since their partners clashed, fans have noticed a silence between the former pals, who have not been seen together in months.
That was until Katie commented on Kerry’s post out of the blue, just hours before she then deleted her entire social media.
Kerry had posted an advert for CBD oil from a fave brand of her pal, prompting the TV personality to comment.
‘It’s brilliant,’ commented the Mucky Mansion star, to which her singer replied: ‘Isn’t it’.
Katie’s Instagram has since vanished, hours after she claimed to have found her missing husband Lee in a Dubai jail.
When searching for the former glamour model’s page, an error message pops up saying the ‘profile isn’t available’.
‘The link may be broken or the profile may have been removed,’ the note continues, despite her being active hours before.
While Katie does appear to have deactivated her Instagram, her YouTube page – which includes her podcast with sister Sophie – remains active.
