Katie Price pull out of joint tour with Kerry Katona and issues statement
Katie Price has quit her UK tour with Kerry Katona due to 'childcare commitments' leaving the entire 38-date tour in jeopardy three months before first show
Katie Price has confirmed that she has made the decision to quit her 38-date UK tour with Kerry Katona, over "childcare commitments." The pair, who first met while on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here back in 2004, were set to embark on a nationwide tour together, which had been titled An Evening with Katie and Kerry - On Tour.
It remains unknown whether Kerry, 44, will fulfil her side of the agreement and tour by herself or if the entire tour will be cancelled.
A source claimed the model is 'gutted' and 'tried everything she could' in order to make the tour work, but has been forced to pull out of the tour.
The source claimed to The Sun: "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."
Keen to quell speculation of a rift between the two, the source claimed that both women are "still best of mates, but it's a huge blow to their fans."
And a representative for Katie, 47, who is a mother of five confirmed: "Yes, that's correct. Kate has childcare commitments that come first."
The first show was scheduled to be held at Ellesmere Port on September 11 and the tour was set to end in October 22 in Hull. The premise of the show was to treat fans to anecdotes of their two decade friendship, their marriages, divorces and bankruptcy issues.
The tour was also set to address their time on I'm A Celebrity, family values and their journey towards turning their lives around, along with audience participation.
Promoting their show before the shock announcement, a post on a ticket site said: "Join them for an evening that promises to be warm, inspirational, motivational and lots of fun!" It continued: "There will also be some song and dance and an opportunity for audience questions."
And to make matters worse, meet and greet tickets were also being promoted with one theatre stating: "40 Meet & Greet tickets are available for an exclusive after-show Meet & Greet with the ladies."
Back in March, theatre production company ABPLTD took to Instagram and posted: "AN EVENING WITH KATIE AND KERRY - ON TOUR @kerrykatona7 and @katieprice are heading out on the road this autumn for a tell-all tour sharing 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.

Kerry Katona shares health diagnosis after finding lumps
Kerry Katona has shared her diagnosis after she was left 'worried' over discovering several lumps on her jaw last week, leading to the star undergoing treatment. Kerry Katona has given an update on a new diagnosis after discovering mysterious lumps on her jaw and undergoing treatment. Last week, the mum-of-five admitted in her weekly column that she was 'nervous' after the discovery led to her booking an emergency dentist appointment. And now, she has shared that the appointment led to treatment and has left her in 'agony'. "I've been in a lot of pain this week – it's been so tough. The lumps in my jaw I wrote about last week turned out to be an infection, so I had to get three root canal procedures at once," she wrote in her New! Magazine column this week. Kerry continued: "I've been in agony ever since and just wanted to stay in bed –but with work so hectic right now, I can't do that. Wish Dental has been amazing at looking after me, so I want to thank them. "I'm filming Celebs Go Dating and having to act cheery when I'm in agony. I just want to get back to being the Kerry everyone wants. Fingers crossed for some recovery," she concluded. Kerry previously admitted that she is a 'hypochondriac', explaining how her mind automatically goes to the worst case scenario. She said: "I'm still feeling really run down after being ill last week. I had to get an emergency dentist appointment because I had so much pain on the left side of my face. I've got lumps on my jaw which they are going to test to see what is wrong, but the dentist thinks it's to do with my glands. "I'm a massive hypochondriac at the best of times, so I'm feeling a bit nervous about it all, to be honest." Previously, Kerry even shared how her health anxiety mixed with some 'unbearable pain' had her fearing she had cancer. After doctors found blood in her cervix during a check last year, Kerry said: "When I got that news, in my head I thought 'I've got cancer, I'm going to die'." The news left Kerry 'terrified' and even considering marrying her-at-the-time partner Ryan Mahoney so that he could be a legal guardian of her daughter DJ, whose dad George Kay died in 2019. However, thankfully, "It's crazy how much a woman's body goes through and what stress can do to our cycles," she said the following week.
