But former glamour model Katie, 44, has been forced to pull out of all 33 dates, which would have seen the two ladies visiting towns up and down the country for "An Evening with Katie and Kerry - On Tour".
A source told The Sun: 'Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule.
"She hates letting her fans down and hopes to be able to do something similar in the future.
"At the moment, it's unclear whether Kerry will continue without her or if the whole tour will be scrapped.
"There is no bad blood between Kerry and Katie, they're still best of mates, but it's a huge blow to their fans.'
A rep for Katie confirmed she has pulled out, saying: 'Yes, that's correct. Kate has childcare commitments that come first.'
The duo were set to start their tour in Ellesmere Port on September 11 and conclude on October 22 in Hull.
Katie and Kerry had planned to"share stories of their friendship, marriage and divorce, bankruptcy, 'I'm A Celebrity', the importance of family, their constant press attention and turning their lives around".
A post promoting their tour at the time said: "Join them for an evening that promises to be warm, inspirational, motivational and lots of fun!"
Katie Price boasts she earns 'really good money' but claims she can't rent anywhere to live after bankruptcy hell
One of the ticket sites continued: "There will also be some song and dance and an opportunity for audience questions."
And meet and greet tickets had also been announced, with one theatre stating: "40 Meet & Greet tickets are available for an exclusive after-show Meet & Greet with the ladies."
Fans were divided by the news, with some overjoyed about the exciting tour, and others up in arms branding it "embarrassing".
"A brilliant idea. That will be fun," said one fan.
"Yay, can't wait," added another, complete with a red heart emoji.

Is the Nintendo Switch 2 worth the £400 price tag? PETER HOSKIN says the answer is an emphatic yes... and reveals why
Nintendo Switch 2 Verdict: Joy redefined The latest Nintendo console, the Switch 2, is finally here — and a question mark block hovers over it, just like the ones above Mario's head. Is it worth the £395.99 asking price (or £429.99, when bundled with the new Mario Kart World)? In this economy, and with more powerful PlayStations and Xboxes available for less, that's quite an outlay. I could make a financial argument for the Switch 2. Its predecessor, the original Switch, has been around for eight years now. If this new console has the same shelf life, that amounts to about £50 a a pound a week. Most people's chocolate habits cost more. But financial arguments are boring, when the Switch 2 is anything but. Although this is mostly just a bigger, better Switch, it's bigger and better in exciting ways. The larger, higher-definition screen is tremendously good for handheld play. Its more powerful innards mean that it can handle some very visually demanding games, including Cyberpunk 2077, which is also available now. It will come in two varieties: just the console and the console bundled with Mario Kart World. The former will cost £395.99 and the latter £429.99 Can the PS5 and Xbox Series X run these games even better? Yes. But a PC can run them even better again. And none have the easy, well, switchability of the Switch 2, which can move from your TV to your handbag in an instant. Technological domination isn't everything. Then there are the Switch 2's innovations, like its new mouse mode. The detachable Joy-Con controllers can be laid on their sides and moved and clicked just like the mouse for your desktop computer. It adds to the sense that Nintendo has made the Swiss Army knife of consoles. Everything for all occasions. The real draw, though, is the games. Neither the PlayStation nor the Xbox will ever get Mario Kart World, which is a loss for them. This first open-world entry in the madcap racing series is — much like the Switch 2 itself — an improvement on its already great predecessor. And think of all the joys to come! A new Donkey Kong game in July, which looks as though it delivers on its hero's full destructive potential. Followed by, presumably, new Mario and Zelda releases in future. Get saving.

Dani Dyer has treated fans to a glimpse into the lead-up to her lavish wedding day with Jarrod Bowen at the weekend. The former Love Island star, 28, and the West Ham captain, 28, tied the knot during an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest friends and family on Saturday. And in the days since, the newlyweds have been sharing snippets from their nuptials on social media, with Dani taking to Instagram on Thursday with even more unseen snaps, with the caption: 'Moments before'. This time, she showed her followers a look inside the moments before she and Jarrod became husband and wife, with a sweet shot of the couple kissing in the car, after popping a celebratory bottle of champagne. The pair could be seen enjoying spending time with their families, with Dani posing for a beaming selfie with proud dad, Danny Dyer.

She also shared a slew of sweet photos of her son Santiago, four, who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence, tucking into several meals as he prepared to be a page boy, alongside Dani's brother Arty, 11. While her and Jarrod's twin daughters Summer and Star, two, served as flower girls for their parents big day, and could be seen looking adorable in their matching floral dresses. And though she kept her wedding gown secret until the big day, Dani still ensured she looked every inch the bride, wearing an elegant white minidress, with a low back and huge bow detail. While even when she was getting ready, she donned a white jumper with the words 'BRIDE' emblazoned on the back. For the actual ceremony, Dani dazzled in a £10,000 designer gown by Suzanne Neville, before changing into a stunning lace minidress for the raucous reception. Speaking on her joint podcast with Danny, Dani revealed she was keeping her first wedding dress a surprise from her dad until the big day to honour a special tradition. 'Have you not seen that first look when the dad sees their daughter in their dress and that? Oh, it's lovely,' she shared. 'Yeah, your dad's not meant to see it – it's a moment for the dad as well!'

White rose petals lined the aisle, with floral sculptures and candles creating a stunning backdrop which the bride and groom shared a kiss in front of. The fun was kicked off by father of the bride Danny, who led a wedding breakfast chant of the rude West Ham anthem, 'Bowen's on fire and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer,' to the 1997 hit Freed from Desire, changing the lyrics to say 'married'. While Dani's sister Sunnie was one of six bridesmaids, who all wowed in matching one shoulder pink dresses. The 18-year-old also had a role during the ceremony as she read a poem from Sex and The City's wedding scene, which went: 'His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. 'His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do'.' After Dani and Jarrod exchanged their vows, the couple were quick to indulge in their huge wedding cake, with the happy couple seen lifting a huge slice in a fun video. The reception also boasted a live band who serenaded Dani as she shared a sweet father-daughter dance with Dani. White rose petals lined the aisle, with floral sculptures and candles creating a stunning backdrop which the bride and groom shared a kiss in front of Dani has had a whirlwind few months, filled with two lavish hen parties and all the excitement of getting ready for her big day. Speaking to Heat magazine earlier this week, Dani said: 'I have finally done my table plans now. Until you are in there writing names out, making sure you have tables of 10, it's the most stressful experience ever - that's the only thing I've not enjoyed.' Dani also revealed she will take on a double-barrel surname after the wedding, becoming Dyer-Bowen. She said: 'I am going to keep the Dyer - I am going to do Dani Dyer-Bowen just because of my work. I feel like if I am Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. We are double-barrelling it.'
