Could this be a match made in celebrity (car crash) heaven? Peter Andre, who only last year ended his turbulent relationship with British glamour model, Katie Price, is reportedly very cosy with Kerry Katona — Brian McFadden’s ex-wife.
While Peter, 37, has recently denied claims the pair are in a relationship, Kerry, 29, has told the UK’s OK! magazine how fond she is of the singer.
“He’s my sweetheart and it’s nice to know I’m not on my own. I can see why women love Pete. He’s the perfect guy to take home to your mum, he’s everything a girl needs,” Kerry told the UK’s OK! magazine.
“[My kids] love him — and his music, I took them to one of his shows, he was wonderful with them. Hopefully when Pete’s got a free weekend we can take the kids to the beach together.”
Coincidently (or not!), Kerry and Peter are now managed by the same agent. They spent three weeks together in Australia back in 2004 when the pair took part in the British TV show, I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!. Kerry was crowned queen of the jungle in that series and Peter embarked on his relationship with Katie Price.

Kerry has experienced years of relationship and career turmoil since she split with Brian McFadden, the father of two of her four children, eight-year-old Molly and seven-year-old Lilly-Sue in 2004.
She has recently endured her second marriage breakdown, this time to taxi driver Mark Croft, who is father to Kerry’s other two children, three-year-old Heidi and two-year-old Maxwell. But now it appears her heart is set on Peter.
Following a spell in London’s The Priory hospital for treatment of bipolar disorder in 2007, Kerry’s life took a downward spiral which saw her declared bankrupt at the High Court in London after failing to pay the final £82,000 ($136,450) of a £417,000 ($693,900) tax bill in 2008.
She went on to lose her contract with the British supermarket chain Iceland, her magazine column, and her MTV shows and suffered further financial setbacks. In December 2009, she received a repossession order on her £1.5 million ($2.5 million) home, having not paid her mortgage in months.
In April, Kerry admitted to having suffered a crippling drug habit which lasted four years and saw her stay in bed for days on end taking cocaine. She confessed her drug abusing lifestyle would have killed her if she hadn’t had the strength to give it up, which she did for her children’s sake, the UK’s Mirror reported.
Here’s hoping that the bad days are well and truly behind Kerry — for her kids’ and Peter’s sakes.
