The surprising age gap between Kerry Katona and her hunky new boyfriend has been revealed.
It emerged on Thursday that the Atomic Kitten star, 44, had moved on from her ex Ryan Mahony with Paolo Magaglione after meeting while filming Celebs Go Dating.
The couple were seen holding hands and kissing as they made their first public outing together in photographs obtained by The Sun.
The age gap between Kerry and Paolo has now been revealed, with the singer's new flame reportedly 11 years her junior.
A source told The Sun: 'Kerry has bagged herself another toyboy - Paolo is 33 and Kerry is 44, but neither of them are bothered by the age gap.

'Kerry looks better than most women half her age at the moment, and is young at heart. Paolo thinks she's super sexy and has told all his mates that he is the lucky one.
'Meanwhile Kerry loves that she has a younger man again.'
According to his Instagram, Paolo - who is a father to two girls - works as an online fitness coach.
Kerry shared a heartfelt post about finding love again ahead of her stint on Celebs Go Dating.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a post which featured an optimistic voice over that read: 'One day, someone's going to come into your life who can't get enough of you.
'Someone who wakes up every day just excited to hear what you have to say and see your face.
'Someone who will make time in their busy schedule for you because you matter to them.
'Someone who will treat you with the love and tenderness and respect that you always deserved.
'Someday, someone is going to come into your life who's going to make every heartbreak and disappointment and tear before them make sense.
'Because if those things hadn't happened, you wouldn't be the person you are today that led you to the moment of meeting them.'
Kerry recently spoke to Closer about how she recently lost weight following her break-up from her ex Ryan and said she's in 'the best shape I've ever been in'.
At the time of their break-up, the reality star confirmed that the fitness trainer had moved out of their home following a 'breach of trust'.
However, she has since said that she has come to the realisation that Ryan wasn't for her as she reflected positively back on their separation.
Writing in her column for New! Magazine, she said: 'I'm feeling really good going into 2025 - it's going to be a great year.
'I'm not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn't the one for me.
'I'm a single woman and am in the best relationship of my life, which is with myself.'
Also appearing on Celebs Go Dating are Love Island's Olivia Hawkins, Made In Chelsea's Sam Prince, Too Hot To Handle's Louis Russell, and Donna Preston.
Donna completed the line-up following Christine McGuinness's exit, who, after a few days, realised she wasn't ready to date in the public eye.
Speaking about joining the show, Donna gushed to The Sun: 'I'm buzzing to be joining the show and to finally crack the code on what men really want, besides snacks and not being asked what they're thinking.
'I'm intrigued to meet new people, but let's be honest, if a date's boring, I won't waste anyone's time.

'I've been coming to Download festival since 1984'
For many rock and metal fans, Download Festival is more of a pilgrimage than an annual is certainly the case for Neil Meynell, who has been heading to Leicestershire every year since 1984, back when it was still known as Monsters of 58-year-old, who lives in Tewkesbury, said the sense of community keeps him coming newcomers to festival life or those dipping their toes into the heavy world of headbanging and mosh pits, he advises travelling lightly. Mr Meynell said the best thing about Download for him was "the vibe" between bands and fans."This is basically my home," he said."Everyone says it's [the] spiritual home of rock and roll, and it might sound a little bit out-there, but it's just the feeling of what people bring."You just walk around here and you feel at home - you still see the battle jackets with Iron Maiden and AC/DC, and you still see the new bands coming along, but invariably it's the same attitude."Having been to dozens of festivals and watched bands through pouring rain as well as in baking sunshine, Mr Meynell has learned the benefits of keeping his rock and roll operation as tight as possible."I'd say to people don't overplan things," he said."Don't pack a million bits of kit, just let the festival take you as it goes, and don't be annoyed if you miss anything, just pick up the next thing."Just let it flow, and by Monday morning you'll be like 'when is it on next year?'"
