Kerry Katona and Katie Price looked as close as ever as they snuggled up for a selfie ahead of their highly-anticipated tour. 

The Atomic Kitten singer, 44, and glamour model, 46, have been friends for more than 20 years since meeting on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004.

The pair have taken part in a number of projects together, including playing the wicked stepsisters in a production of Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court in Cheshire last year. 

And it was revealed last month that the noughties icons plan to travel to 38-venues across the country to share tales of friendship, marriage, divorce and bankruptcy in a new tell-all tour. 

Showing their longlasting friendship – which has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years – is still in tact ahead of the tour, Kerry shared a collection of sweet selfies of the pair on Instagram on Tuesday. 

‘Back together and it feels sooo good @katieprice got my girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️,’ Kerry captioned the snaps.

The pair’s show An Evening with Katie and Kerry – On Tour will kick off in Ellesmere Port on Thursday, September 11 and conclude in Hull on Wednesday, October 22.

The duo will share ‘stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around.’

Each night will also feature singing, dancing and questions from the audience.

Kerry rose to fame in 1998 as a member of the girl group Atomic Kitten, while Katie gained recognition for her glamour modelling work.

When Katie went on to tie the knot with Peter Andre in 2005, Kerry supported her pal on her big day as one of her bridesmaids.

However, the pair then famously fell out in 2007 when Katie called Kerry a ‘druggie’ and accused her husband at the time, Mark Croft, of being ‘a bully’.

They did not speak for months, until Kerry revealed that Katie had apologised for her comments and they have called a truce. 

However, by February 2008 the two had reignited their feud once more, after Kerry commented on allegations made by Katie’s former nanny about her employer’s abilities as a mum.

Following Katie and Peter’s split in 2009, Kerry took her revenge by getting very cosy with the Mysterious Girl singer and going on playdates with their kids.

While both insisted they were just pals, Kerry said he would be her ‘ideal’ boyfriend, after they joined the same management company. 

Their closeness reportedly infuriated Katie, but later that year it was alleged that Kerry was hoping to reconcile their friendship. 

Kerry and Mark eventually divorced in 2011, after a relationship marred by cheating allegations from both parties and claims he had an ‘obsession with spending her money,’ that contributed to her bankruptcy.

Kerry went on to admit to her drug abuse and crippling addiction, saying her marriage to drug dealer Mark was ‘about cocaine’. 

In the wake of the split, Kerry buried the hatchet with Katie again, later admitting that her friend had been ‘right’ when she called her out.

The pair became so close that Kerry invited Katie to be her bridesmaid at her wedding to her next husband George Kay, in September 2014. 

However, Katie pulled out of her official duties last minute because she couldn’t get into the size eight bridesmaid dress, after giving birth to daughter Bunny six weeks earlier.

Despite this the BFFs seemed to still be on track, appearing together in Instagram posts and at football matches, before making joint appearances on Loose Women, where Katie gushed that the pair had a ‘true friendship’. 

It was reported that the duo had become inseparable once again now they both lived in SusSєx and had both suffered heartbreaks, with Katie’s husband Kieran Hayler cheating on her and Kerry divorcing George after he ᴀssaulted her.

Despite the former foes becoming best pals once again, rumours of their war of words rising again still swirled.

In September 2019, Katie was reportedly ‘furious’ with her friend, after the Atomic Kitten star said Katie had ‘crossed the line’ with her latest cosmetic surgeries.

At the time Katie had displayed the results of one of her many plastic surgery sprees, after undergoing yet another face and eye lift, a breast reduction and a bum lift reversal in Turkey.

In an attempt to give her a more youthful-looking visage, surgeons made incisions by her ears, and pH๏τos after the procedure showed the star sporting painful looking wounds and sтιтching at the base of her ears.

Kerry admitted she was worried when she saw gruesome images of her pal after going under the knife once again. 

But The Sun reported that Katie felt as though she has been ‘stabbed in the back’ by her friend and sees her word as hypocritical as Kerry has also been open about having had multiple cosmetic surgeries in the past.

However, Kerry denied that the pair had fallen out and said they were still ‘great friends’ while insisting that ‘nothing could destroy their friendship’. The duo made sure to squash the feud rumours once and for all by filming a video together, poking fun at the speculation.

The two TV personalities have stayed close, with their daughters even forming a strong friendship of their own, which had been credited with keeping their mothers’ bond going.

Katie’s daughter Princess, 17, and Kerry’s daughter Heidi, 18, have been best friends since birth and have brought Kerry and Katie back together many times.

While both enjoy having a laugh together, Katie and Kerry have also supported each other through tough times.

In July 2020, Kerry looked after Princess while Katie’s son Harvey was in intensive care with a fever and breathing issues. And she was there for the star in August 2021, when Katie was hospitalised herself after being ᴀssaulted by her then fiancé Carl Woods. 

However, the pair still took subtle swipes at each other over the next few years, suggesting their bond wasn’t always so steadfast. 

Kerry complained that Katie wouldn’t answer her calls and that she speaks to Princess more than her mum.

In February 2022, she even quipped that Katie only got in touch with her to get her advice about OnlyFans. The mother-of-five has raked in thousands on the adult subscription site, with Katie then following in her footsteps.

The singer also mocked her pal for all her public scandals and her infamous relationship with ex-husband Peter.

Speculation that the friendship had soured grew over recent years, until Katie shut down the rumours in February 2023. That same month, Kerry was said to have vowed to help Katie ‘turn her life around’ following her split from fiancé Carl.

So when Katie moved on with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, Kerry didn’t hesitate to give her seal of approval and voiced her joy that her friend had found love again.

After finally declaring Katie was his ‘girlfriend’ following a whole host of of loved-up snaps on Instagram, JJ, 31, said it would have been ‘ideal’ if she had been the one he was matched with on the E4 reality show, as it would have ‘saved a lot of time’.
