Katie Price lets slip plans to spend Christmas with Kerry Katona after shock split from fiancé Ryan Mahoney
Katie Price has revealed her plans for Christmas, and she’s going to be spending the occasion with a very familiar face. With her friend Kerry Katona splitting from fiancé Ryan Mahoney, Katie's going to be a good gal pal and spend the big day with her newly single friend and former I’m A Celeb campmate.
The pair are headlining this year's panto at Northwich Memorial Court, Cheshire. Kerry and Katie wlll be playing the Wicked Step Sisters in the theatre’s version of panto favourite Cinderella. Katie let slip her Christmas plans in a new-deleted reply to a post on Kerry’s Instagram, the model and reality star saying in reference to the panto: “Can't wait to spend the month and Christmas Day with you".
It could certainly be a noisy day for the pair, as between Katie and Kerry they have a whopping ten children. The duo teaming up for the panto is the first time they've made a joint appearance in entertainment since 2004 when they both went into the I'm A Celebrity jungle and became close friends. However, they had a very public fall out in 2007, but made up in recent years, Katie revealing on her podcast that Kerry had helped her secure the panto job as she currently fights bankruptcy.

Get your tickets now.”
It was previously revealed that news of their casting led to record ticket sales for the show, with the pair securing fitting salaries for their month's work. An insider told The Sun: "Katie and Kerry have secured themselves really good deals to do panto this year. They understand how much they are worth together and have already sold 10k tickets, so are really earning their keep. They are getting significant pay cheques for the role and they will be getting exactly the same amount."
Thousands of tickets have been sold so far, the theatre posted a statement on social media when booking opened reading: "Since our casting news broke earlier this evening, we have sold the highest number of tickets that we’ve ever sold in a single day during our last 14 years in Northwich!”
