Former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona has landed a huge new job amid her on and off tour with best pal Katie Price as they’ve been hit with cancellations and scheduling woes
Kerry Katona hasn’t let her pal Katie Price get in the way of her heading out on the road, as she secures a new lucrative deal. The former Atomic Kitten star, 44, suffered a setback when her scheduled appearance with the former glamour model, 47, was cancelled at the last minute.
They also revealed they would be travelling the country on a mammoth tour, stopping off at over 30 towns before it was cancelled. However, Katie and Kerry managed to revive their shows as just weeks later they confirmed it was back on.
While their tour looks set to happen, Kerry has secured another all on her own. Without needing to rely on mate Katie, Kerry is set to spend two months on the stage as part of the cast of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
The theatre show of the hit movie will travel across the UK in June and July next year as Kerry takes centre stage. Kerry’s agency confirmed the exciting project as they said: “Our client @kerrykatona7 will be touring in the musical Here We Go Again in June and July 2026 across the U.K. and Ireland.”
Her celebrity pals have already signed up to support her when the tour kicks off as Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins commented: “Yessssss finally! Superstar! Ready to be front row.”
The news comes as Kerry has faced uncertainty over her performances with Katie. This past weekend, Katie pulled out of Glasgow Pride due to “another urgent obligation.”
It came just weeks after she and Kerry pulled out of Barnsley Pride due to “unforeseen circumstances” and “personal reasons.” Back in May, Katie and Kerry also cancelled their entire “tell-all” tour, which had been scheduled to visit venues around the UK.
An Evening With Katie Price & Kerry Katona was given the axe when Katie was reportedly prevented from committing due to her “busy schedule.”
A source told The Sun: “Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work, but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule.”
However, the tour is now back on and the shows will go ahead as originally planned. A source added to the publication: “For the last few weeks, the team putting this together have been in crisis talks with Katie’s people and they’ve managed to find a solution that suits everyone.
“Some of the dates will be rescheduled to fit around Katie’s childcare clashes, meaning she is back in. Everyone behind the scenes is thrilled because it would have been a financial nightmare to pay back all the tickets that had been re-sold.
“Katie and Kerry are chuffed too as they didn’t want to let any fans down.” Their show will kick off in September in Ellsmere Port and end the following month in Hull.
The pals plan to “share stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, ‘I’m A Celebrity’, the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around.”
