Kerry Katona stole MY boyfriend! Woman claims singer’s lover promised to marry her and lied about going on Celebs Go Dating
A woman alleges that she was romantically involved with Kerry Katona’s current partner prior to his appearance on Celebs Go Dating, where he subsequently met the singer.
Last week, Kerry, aged 44, made their relationship with Paolo Margaglione, a 33-year-old personal trainer, official. They were seen deeply kissing and holding hands, showcasing a significant age gap of 10 years between them.
However, Kerry’s recent love affair, marking her initial public relationship following her separation from ex-fiancé Ryan Mahoney in November, has faced uncertainty due to allegations that Paolo is primarily motivated by ‘celebrity status’ and increasing his public image.
Previously, Paolo’s ex-girlfriend asserts that they were together romantically during his time on the E4 show. She has alleged that he was unfaithful to her while also seeing the Atomic Kitten celebrity.
Jessica Smith, aged 25, shares that Paolo, a father of two, hadn’t informed her about participating in the series; instead, she believes he decided to join for the purpose of advancing his professional pursuits.
As a devoted follower,
“Devastated Jessica from Holmfirth, Yorkshire, who manages a warehouse, confided in TopMob: ‘I am convinced that he doesn’t have genuine feelings for Kerry. His affection appears to be solely driven by fame.’


She also mentions that Paolo supposedly intended to take her to Ibiza, pretending it was for a vacation, when in reality he was there with Kerry filming Celebs Go Dating. Additionally, his frequent visits to London were allegedly for ‘business’ purposes.
In her own words, Jessica stated: “Jessica doesn’t think he has genuine feelings for Kerry. Instead, he seems more concerned with his fame, and is overjoyed at the prospect of being in the limelight.
I’m completely convinced that he didn’t participate in Celebs Go Dating with the intention of finding love. He deceived me throughout our relationship, and it was truly awful.
This development has left me utterly astonished. Reports indicate that Celebs Go Dating was shot in Ibiza, yet he led me to believe he was spending three weeks there, even suggesting I should arrange a flight to see him there.
He initially told me he had a bachelor party, followed by flights with his kids in the next two weeks, and claimed he’d be available to meet up during the third week. However, it turns out that none of those plans were true, as he was actually participating in a dating show there instead.
Whenever he visited London, he claimed it was for business conferences. He’d even share photos with me… yet, he was secretly filming for ‘Celebs Go Dating’. Every aspect of our interactions seemed contrived. It feels like I was deceived throughout the whole period.
As a lifestyle connoisseur looking forward to sharing some exciting news, I’m thrilled to announce that Kerry, famously known for her time with Atomic Kitten, is gracing our screens once more in the upcoming season of Celebs Go Dating! This isn’t her first dance on this show; she charmed us all back in 2019. So get ready to see her sparkle again!
Kerry, who has been married on three separate occasions, concluded her six-year partnership with ex-fiance Ryan due to a violation of trust in November.



Currently, Kerry is venturing into a fresh relationship. However, it’s advisable for her to exercise caution regarding Paolo’s motives, since his ex-partner alleges that he joined Celebs Go Dating primarily for ‘fame.’
Jessica shared: “He mentioned he participated in a dating show quite some time back, and there’s no need for concern regarding that. He explained it wasn’t about love but rather seeking fame. He assured me, ‘Everyone goes on that show for fame, and I’m simply following suit.’
The warehouse manager shared their story of how they first connected; it all began when Paolo reached out to her unexpectedly on Instagram, leading them into a romantic relationship. They often enjoyed each other’s company over meals and wine, with her frequently spending the night at his place.
Over a year back, Paolo shared with Jessica that he and the mothers of his two lovely daughters were no longer together as a couple. However, they continue to maintain a strong bond, primarily for the sake of their young family.
From Jessica’s perspective, she and Paolo were deeply committed to one another. However, without her knowledge, he participated in the reality show “Celebs Go Dating,” where ordinary people go on dates with celebrities while seeking guidance from dating experts.
As a hopelessly smitten admirer, I can’t help but share that Paolo, who openly declared his intention to tie the knot with Jessica if granted the opportunity, was found exchanging heartfelt messages with her during the days he was busy filming Celebs Go Dating back in late April and early May.
Eventually, Jessica shared that he had filmed the show, a series featuring Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins and The Chase’s Mark Labbett, which led her to shed tears profusely.
She shared: “I inquired if he thought I should remain at home, watching things, while staying connected with him. His response was, ‘I wish for you to make that choice, but it’s entirely up to you.’ That day, I broke down in tears throughout my work hours, feeling everything was a deception.


Previously, Kerry was married to the Westlife vocalist, Brian McFadden. Together, they have two daughters, Molly (age 23) and Lilly-Sue (age 22). The couple parted ways in 2006 following their divorce.
2007 saw the marriage of the previous “I’m A Celebrity” winner to taxi driver Mark Croft, following a rapid courtship. Their relationship has produced two children, Heidi (age 18) and Maxwell (age 16).
In the years 2014 to 2017, she was wedded to her third spouse, George Kay. Tragically, he passed away at the age of 39 in 2017, following a fatal seizure that occurred after unintentionally ingesting cocaine hidden in a ball.
Kerry, a mother to Dylan-Jorge, her 11-year-old daughter with her ex-husband George, has opened up extensively regarding their past relationship and the hardships of the abuse she suffered while they were together.
In the show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, she tearfully admitted: ‘He was extremely violent… My kids often heard the arguing and witnessed my bruises.’
From 1998 to 2001, the former band member was part of the pop group Atomic Kitten, a role she held several years prior to the birth of her famous counterpart, Jessica.
Jessica shared that she felt more confident following the latest pictures showing Paolo kissing Kerry, someone she doesn’t perceive as a concern given their age difference of 19 years.
She mentioned: “I haven’t talked to Paolo since he started dating Kerry… Initially, I felt terribly uncomfortable, but then I reflected, at least it’s not some model with a slender figure. To be honest, I don’t find her attractive, so I began feeling a bit relieved.
Paolo told TopMob: ‘I was never in a relationship with Jess. We only met up around five times.
I openly shared with her that I’d been given a chance to participate in a dating show, and if things worked out, I’d definitely consider it.
I clearly communicated to Jess that our conversations and meetings needed to end because I got an opportunity to join a TV show. Let me make it clear, Jess is a fantastic individual.
Celebs Go Dating declined to comment.
