Kerry Katona - Celebs Go Dating 2025
Category: Press Pack ArticleWhy did you decide to go back to the Agency?
To be totally honest with you it’s the therapy you get with the agents. I love therapy. And you only get the opportunity to work with Anna, Paul and Tara on this show. You go in there to get therapy from them and I'm being paid for it, I’d be stupid not to say yes!
Were you nervous going back this time?
No, I was adamant I wanted therapy. I wanted to learn about myself and work. I've been on a journey for a really long time now. I've really worked hard on myself. So this was just the icing on the cake and gave me those extra tools and guidelines to self-worth, and working on your boundaries and just being taught that extra bit that you need to know about yourself and when you get into relationships and how to deal with situations, because obviously it's gone wrong in the past.
What does your happy ever after look like?
Inner peace. It doesn't have to be with anybody else. To me, it's inner peace. Inner peace, and knowing that my children are fulfilled and healthy and happy. That's all anyone can ask for. But inner peace for yourself. If you've got inner peace within yourself, which everyone's always searching for, everyone wants the money, everyone wants the cars, everyone wants the houses. There's no point in having any of that if you haven't got your inner peace.
You are looking incredible at the moment…
Oh, thank you. Well, I think that's a silver lining when you go through a break-up and then you have that glow up after. Because what happened was awful, and it made me quite ill and poorly. I would do two to three shows a day doing Panto at Christmas where I had all five children at home, plus Katie Price and Harvey. So it was full-on, while dealing with everything that's gone on that I'll never go public with, I'll never speak about it. It was horrendous. So that's the side effects. There's always that silver lining, the heartbreak diet, which I've continued to stay on, but I was already on that path of losing weight and doing all the health things.
You must have men asking you out all the time, surely?
Oh, no, not a chance. I wish that was the case. Nothing like that!
What is it you are looking for now in terms of a relationship?
Someone who can communicate, who’s emotionally available, emotionally intelligent, kind, considerate. Someone who will have a laugh with me, someone who will slow dance with me in the kitchen, someone who'll get up on the karaoke, someone who's an amazing dad, and someone who's got good energy, and morals and ethics, and I think communication. I didn't have communication in my last relationship. I never knew what was going on in his head. He'd do things that I had no idea what was going on. And that was definitely a downfall. I ended up with just being an asset more than anything.
You worked with the agents again, did you learn anything new about yourself this time that you perhaps didn't know?
Well, the good thing is I've known Anna for years, and out of all the agents, I hate to be biased, she is my favourite. She's my girl. I absolutely adore her. But yeah, massively. I think for me, what did I learn about myself it that it's okay to want to share your life with somebody.
What do you think people watching this series now are going to see of Kerry 2.0?
I'm very vulnerable, very vulnerable. I don't like talking about my feelings or my emotions in that respect when it comes to love. You'll see that side of me. It's quite overwhelming because it literally just blew my mind. I've never gone through anything like that, ever. But honest to God, it's blown my mind. It scares me, really scares me.
You must be so excited for the future?
I am. I don't think I've ever, ever been in such a clear state of clarity and knowing my self-worth and being really clear on what I want in my life.
Does that spill into your career too, what’s next?
I just want inner peace. I want to create memories and adventures. I want to help others with my story. I want to lift other people's emotions up and make people happy and as happy as I am, and tell my story and give them hope and inspiration. That's what I like. I like making people laugh and in saying that, I want to continue building my empire. I want to be more than comfortable with my finances. I want to be happy. We all just want to be happy and that inner peace. For me, it's just creating adventures and memories with my kids. But that's all I can ask for. That's all I want.
