The couple had been together for six and a half years but during her chat with the Celebs Go Dating experts, Kerry explains what went wrong.
She says: "We were arguing quite a lot, because he wasn't there for me emotionally, and that used to really get to me.
"And it's little things, just little things I want. I don't want diamond rings, it's the little things.
"So I kicked off, 'That's it, we're done', and he said, 'Look, I just don't know if I love you anymore."
Kerry then sits back in her chair and touches her face with her hand as she grows emotional.
She continues: "I was devastated."
Expert Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn tells her: "Kerry, you have gone through what some people might...it might feel like 10 lifetimes of trauma.
Kerry agrees, but adds that she is proud of how she has got through everything that life has thrown at her, having been married three times before her relationship with Ryan.
Fellow dating expert Anna Williamson tells Kerry: "I truly hail you as one of the most resilient people I have ever met."
This prompts Kerry to become emotional again as she cries: "I never had anyone to look after me.
EXCL Emotional Kerry Katona addresses age-gap relationship with new man - and 'real reason' she signed up for Celebs Go Dating
"I've had to be my own hero, which I'm really proud of, but yeah, I struggle with that."
In 2004, Kerry's first marriage was to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden when she was 21, and the exes have daughters Molly and Lilly together.
Her next trip down the aisle was with Mark Croft, who she was married to from 2007 to 2011 and had son Maxwell and daughter Heidi with.
Kerry's third marriage was to George Kay from 2014 to 2017 and they had her youngest daughter Dylan-Jorge.
Kerry Katona's love life timeline
Kerry's first high-profile relationship was with Brian McFadden, who was then a member of the Irish boyband Westlife.
The couple married in 2002 and had two daughters together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, but divorce beckoned just four years later after infidelity claims.
In 2007, Kerry married Mark Croft, a former taxi driver.
Their relationship was tumultuous and marked by financial difficulties and accusations of infidelity.
They had two children together, Heidi and Maxwell, before divorcing in 2011.
Kerry has spoken openly about the difficulties she faced during this period, including struggles with her mental health and substance abuse.
Following this, she entered into a relationship with George Kay, a former professional rugby league player.
They married in 2014 and had a daughter, Dylan-Jorge (DJ). However, their relationship was fraught with issues, including horrifying domestic abuse, and they separated in 2017. Kay died in 2019 after 'biting into a ball of cocaine'.
Kerry later found love again with Ryan Mahoney, a fitness trainer.
The couple became engaged in 2020, and Kerry described Ryan as a stabilising and positive influence in her life.
After increasing speculation late in 2024, Kerry revealed they had split over a "breach in trust" and Ryan had moved out of her home.
Speaking about George, she tells the experts: "Complete, utter bad boy. Just got out of prison, 'I'll have a bit of you'.
"Yeah, what have you done time for? Kidnap and torture? Great, you'll do me.
"End up getting completely and utterly battered and abused."
George died in 2019 from an overdose.

Irish teen, 16, tipped to be next Dolores O'Riordan after viral busking video with TikTok star ‘changed life forever'
AN Irish teenager is being hailed as having a voice like Dolores O'Riordan after a video of her singing in Leicester Square went viral. Dubliner Mathilde Mullins, 16, has become an online sensation after she duetted with YouTube star Luke Silva on the streets of London last month. 4 Mathilde Mullins and YouTube star Luke Silva Credit: Social Media Collect 4 Their version of Coldplay song The Scientist has 2.5million views on TikTok Credit: Social Media Collect 4 She is tipped to be the next Dolores O'Riordan Credit: Getty - Contributor Their version of Coldplay song The Scientist has an astounding 2.5million views on TikTok. Italian performer Luke — who has 2.1million followers on TikTok and 1.88million subscribers on YouTube — invites people to sing with him in the English capital. Mathilde told The Irish Sun: 'I knew Luke has millions of people watching his videos on YouTube and TikTok but I never thought I would be in one. 'That was until I went on a trip to London with my mum a few weeks ago. 'I heard music coming from Leicester Square and realised it was Luke performing one of his famous videos. 'I really wanted to talk to Luke about us duetting together. But I was nervous about asking him as he is such a big inspiration. However, my mum then told Luke that I was a great singer.' Although the DJ and vocalist had finished for the day, he asked Mathilde for her Instagram account, @mathildemullinsmusic, and promised to be in touch. She said: 'The next day I got a message from Luke saying, 'Hey Mathilde, I'm in Leicester Square today and will be singing around 3pm, will you make it?' 'I was like 'oh my god', Luke Silva just replied and he wants me to sing with him!' 'I was so excited replying back to him, saying 'Yes, I'll be there'. Luke then sent me this list of songs and asked me to pick three.' DREAM COME TRUE That afternoon Mathilde found herself side by side with Luke introducing herself to onlookers in the famous square featuring London's biggest movie screens. She said: 'Hi I'm Mathilde Mullins, I'm 16 years old and from Dublin' — before the pair of them launched into the famous Coldplay song The Scientist. Before long a huge crowd had gathered to watch the pair, drawn in by their enchanting singing. Mathilde said: 'It was like a dream come true. 'I could feel all the love around me from people watching and so many people coming up after complimenting me. One of them told me they found all the emotion in my voice very, very touching.' However, the vocalist had no idea that more plaudits were to come her way when Luke posted the edited video of them singing together, first on his YouTube channel and then on his massive TikTok account. So far the Coldplay cover has attracted a staggering 2.5million views on TikTok, boosting Mathilde's own TikTok account from a few hundred followers to nearly 6,000. Luke was wowed by the range of Mathilde's voice as along with the Coldplay cover she performed two other songs, Stay by Rihanna and All I Want by Kodaline. And asked about the reaction since, Mathilde said: 'A lot of people are comparing my voice to Dolores O'Riordan. They asked me would I cover Zombie by The Cranberries, so I posted that and we've had 31,000 views on TikTok. 'I can't wait to see what the future holds. Busking in London has changed my life forever. 'After we performed that day in Leicester Square, I remember Luke said to me, 'Wow Mathilde what a voice and a great range you have. Keep going, I know you'll go far and you are only 16.'" He also said, 'Never give up, you've got talent and your journey has just begun.'" And she's found similar success to Irish sensation Allie Sherlock, who also went viral on social media. Allie's success even led to one of her videos being shared by pop sensation Justin Bieber. The then 14-year-old student amassed a hug following since she started her singing career, garnering over two million subscribers on YouTube and over one million followers on Instagram. And now, Allie is performing at some of Ireland's most popular music festivals, including Kaleidoscope. She joined headliners including Texas, The Coronas and Ocean Colour Scene. Ireland's largest family-friendly music event, took place across from July 4-6 at Russborough House in Wicklow. And after her big performance, she shared a video on social media, saying: "One of my biggest performance ever Kaleidoscope." 4 Allie Sherlock found fame when she went viral on social media Credit: Instagram

Oasis fever grips Dublin before gigs as thousands of fans descend on city & legendary Irish band rumoured to hit stage
Noah Gallagher was spotted in a popular pub a day before the gigs SHE'S ELECTRIC Oasis fever grips Dublin before gigs as thousands of fans descend on city & legendary Irish band rumoured to hit stage THOUSANDS of Oasis fans have arrived in the bustling Irish capital for the sold-out gigs for the famous British pop stars. Dublin city is filled to the brim with over 160,000 music fans across the country and beyond for the two sold-out gigs at Croke Park this weekend. 6 Dublin city is in a frenzy due to the comeback of the Oasis Credit: Getty Images - Getty 6 Thousands of Oasis fans were seen across the capital Credit: � 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved Advertisement 6 Many establishments, including the Grand Social, were decorated for the Oasis mania Credit: Alamy Live News This is the band's first gig outside of the United Kingdom during the world tour, and this is the first gig in Ireland since 2009 - nearly 16 years ago. The Dublin leg of the reunion world tour holds a special meaning for once-fueding brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, with their ties to Ireland through their Irish parents Peggy and Thomas. And their parents are expected to attend this weekend's performances. Advertisement The 90s duo kicked off their reunion world tour in early July, with 15 nights of performance in the United Kingdom, with live shows performed in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. Ireland, excluding the United Kingdom, is the only country in Europe to be included in the reunion world tour, with the rest of the gigs in North America, South America, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. And fans worldwide, especially Europe, have travelled to the bustling capital with stunning weather on the cards for the weekend, making it worth all the Irish luck for the year. Leading up to the hours of the first gig, fans were seen across the capital and beyond, preparing and celebrating the comeback of the Oasis band after their extended hiatus. Advertisement The Oasis Mania has hit many establishments across the capital, with many pubs, including The Grand Social, covered in Oasis posters and the iconic branding of the band. The bar has tributes and DJs playing across the weekend, including the classic 'Roll With It', 'Sonnet' and Richard Ashcroft / The Verve Tribute Act during the day. Oasis lights up Dublin sky The venues were also seen full of music fans wearing jerseys and bucket hats with 'Oasis' on the front. And the fans feeling left out of the Oasis Mania had the opportunity to buy the popular jerseys and bucket hats at many pop-up stalls that were spotted in hot spots, especially near Croke Park and Temple Bar. The popular Italian restaurant Milano is even celebrating its iconic comeback by handing out limited-edition Milano-branded bucket hats for the punters attending the gigs. Advertisement But that's not the only thing that the Oasis Mania caused; it even caused a spectacular drone show over Drumcondra and Croke Park, with crowds gathered up to view the sparkling lights dancing across the night sky. Due to the influx of music fans in the small capital, extra trains are operating in Dublin to accommodate the event. OSASIS BAND MEMBERS SIGHTINGS During the midst of Oasis mania, the band were seen relaxing and having a craic in Dublin and beyond just days before the first gig. The band guitarist Paul Arthurs, also known as Bonehead, Gem Archer and Joey Waronker, were spotted enjoying the sunshine by swimming in the sea and hanging out on the beach at Killiney Beach. They also had the chance to visit the classic Dublin landmark, Poolbeg Chimneys. Advertisement And there has been the first sighting of Noel Gallagher at the popular Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth. The singer-songwriter, 58, was all smiles as he enjoyed some Irish hospitality at Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth. And he ensured to stay hydrated in the Irish heat as he enjoyed a quiet Guinness with pals. But as word got around that Gallagher was in town, crowds gathered outside the venue and Noel left shortly after, waving to supporters as he made his exit. At the moment, Liam Gallagher has not been sighted in Dublin yet, but he is expected to make his first appearance on stage at Croke Park tonight, where he is set to perform to nearly 80,000 fans. Advertisement STAGE TIMES Doors open for the gig at Croke Park at 5pm and organisers are expecting huge crowds from early in the afternoon. The first of Oasis' support acts, CAST - a fellow Brit-pop 90's band - will open their show at around 6pm. Their set will swiftly be followed by The Verve's Richard Ashcroft, at 7pm, who will perform his band's hit, Bitter Sweet Symphony along with some of his solo tunes. Then the main act of the evening, Oasis, will take to the stage for their first Irish gig in over 15 years at 8.15pm. Organisers have put reminders that these are guide times and are subject to change. Advertisement SET LIST FOR IRISH GIGS Seeing as these two Irish nights are the 17th and 18th gigs of their reunion tour, it is fair to say we have a good idea of what the brothers will play. Across the European leg of their tour they have seldom made changes to their set list. In an electric moment for any hardcore Oasis fans, the pair will walk out to F***** in the bushes, which swiftly leads into; 1. Hello 2. Acquiesce 3. Morning Glory 4. Some Might Say 5. Bring It On Down 6. Cigarettes & Alcohol 7. Fade Away 8. Supersonic 9. Roll With It 10. Talk Tonight 11. Half the World Away 12. Little by Little 13. D'You Know What I Mean? 14. Stand by Me 15. Cast No Shadow 16. Slide Away 17. Whatever 18. Live Forever 19. Rock 'n' Roll Star ENCORE 20. The Masterplan 21. Don't Look Back in Anger 22. Wonderwall 23. Champagne Supernova The monster set list which covers the major tracks and fan favourites of the brothers discography clocks in at just over two hours - guaranteeing a fantastic evening of Oasis glory! IRISH BAND RUMOURED TO APPEAR A legendary Irish folk band are rumoured to be appearing alongside Oasis on the Croke Park stage this evening. Advertisement The Wolfe Tones could be joining the pair at GAA HQ later today. Brothers Noel and Liam were big fans of The Wolfe Tones growing up, crediting the rebel songs they sang as giving their own music an edge. The expectation for the special guests was a rumour started by Liam himself, when he was asked late last year if he would like The Wolfe Tones to open for Oasis in Croke Park. To which he replied: 'I'm up for it let's do it.' And although they aren't officially listed on the band's stage times or as an opening act, fans were still holding out hope they could appear during Oasis' set. Advertisement Yesterday, just after Noel was spotted out and about around Maynooth ahead of their gigs tonight, The Wolfe Tones reignited speculation they could join them on stage. They took to X, writing: "Well lad, hope you're excited for Croker this weekend. Any idea what time our sound check is at? Welcome to the Emerald Isle." 6 This is the first Oasis concert in Ireland since 2009 Credit: Arthur Carron 6 Fans all over the world travelled to Dublin to see their reunion world tour Credit: Arthur Carron 6 First gig kicked off tonight Credit: Arthur Carron

UK rapper's song slammed for blaming gardai and migrants for ‘trouble and violence'
'Like all genres of music rap can be used to benefit social conscience or it can be used to attack it, and we would see this as an attack' One of the scenes featured in the video One of the scenes shot at Johnnie Foxes in Dublin A song released by an infamous UK gangster turned rapper calling for Ireland's freedom from 'guards and migrants' has been slammed by an anti-racist group. Jordan McCann who wrote a hit song while on parole from prison has racked up millions of views on social media and says he is making six-figures from his new career. While previous songs have been about the danger and lure of the gangster lifestyle his latest offering suggests Ireland is troubled by violence due to migrants. Also featuring on the song 'Free Ireland' which this week already had nearly 500,000 views on YouTube, is Dublin singer Conor McLoughlin. One of the lines in the song reads: 'Free, free, free Ireland from all the trouble and the violence. Free, free, free Ireland from all guards and the migrants.' The video for the song that was posted on YouTube starts with a man in Dublin shouting at a line of gardai in riot gear: 'The batterings will continue until the plantation is complete.' The idea that people in European countries are being replaced and their countries 'planted' is an international far-right conspiracy theory. The introduction also features clip from the November riots in Dublin in the wake of a young child and others being stabbed in Parnell Square. Convicted crminal turned rapper Jordan McCann (black hat) in Dublin News in 90 Seconds - August 16th The video was filmed in several well-known tourist site in Dublin including Merchant's Arch, the GPO, O'Connell Street, the city quays as well as in Jobstown and at Johnnie Fox's pub in the Dublin Mountains. McCann also alludes to his Irish roots in the track and how his 'grandfather left on a boat for England' and 'Irish to the core, so it's Guinness that I'm drinking.' Other lyrics are less sympathetic to immigrants: 'Heroes got blasted and died for these bastards so open the floodgates, swear that is backwards.' Gardai are seen intervening as McCann filmed on O'Connell Street last month where a crowd gathered around him. The video also features Conor McLoughlin The music video finishes with a photograph of Michael Collins and a quote from the revolutionary leader on Irish nationality. Damian Farrell of Dublin Communities Against Racism (DCAR) said that while he was not aware of McCann's video specifically, he believes they are not representative of the majority of people. 'Generally speaking, rap artists like this have a media platform and inherit a space where the person who is the loudest is heard the most. 'They are able to broadcast and amplify what is after all just their opinion. 'So, a lot of the work we do is in dispelling the narrative that these videos are the only message out there. They're not. McCann and McLoughlin in the video 'It is the hidden voices that Dublin Communities Against Racism represent that we are trying to encourage. 'We work with a wide range of ethnic minorities in doing more to make those voices heard without putting themselves in physical danger. 'People like rap music', Mr Farrell added, 'and like all genres of music it can be used to benefit social conscience or it can be used to attack it, and we would see this as an attack. 'And the exploitation of fake sense of nationalism that is promoted through the anti-immigration campaign and elected representatives who should know better creates a society that is of no use to anyone. One of the scenes shot at Johnnie Foxes in Dublin 'The people who are involved in these kinds of videos are not being empowered, they are being used and exploited in a way that, ironically, is the same as they use immigrants to blame for all the ills in our society that we are endeavouring to combat.' The music clip also features Conor McLoughlin who last year won the approval of five judges during an episode of The Voice on ITV. He appeared at the blind auditions and won the attention from each of the celebrity judges with his rendition of Ed Sheeran's 'I See Fire'. Tom Jones, Leann Rimes, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones hit their button to turn their chairs around. He previously took part in BBC's Let It Shine in 2017. While in west Dublin Jordan McCann stopped to pose for pics with Lee McDonnell a notorious violent criminal. McDonnell has 133 previous convictions, including for robbery, aggravated burglary and escaping from lawful custody. He was part of a group of young west Dublin criminals who were causing havoc in their late teens and early 20s who had been mentored by older criminals with links to veteran gangster Derek 'Dee Dee' O'Driscoll. McDonnell previously hit the headlines going on the run for five weeks after escaping from a prison van in Inchicore after prison officers stopped at a chipper. Compared to O'Loughlin McCann's route to showbiz has been a lot tougher who has said interviews that he grew up in jail. In 2016 he was among 13 people subject to court orders sought by police in Manchester and Salford to stop a gang feud after a series of shootings. One of the scenes featured in the video He belonged to a well-known criminal family in Salford, Greater Manchester, and has been convicted of violent crime, armed robbery, gang affiliations and drug dealing. He was in prison when his breakthrough moment came as his Lifestyle track was released and proved to be a big success. In an interview with the Manchester Evening News in 2023 he said he realised he had to turn away from crime after being sentenced to six and a half years aged 19. 'I was just thinking, 'I'm not coming home now for years, I'm living around all these same people, I lived by this f***ing code, I've been the [most loyal] guy, I've been the realest guy' and it does get you nowhere. 'I just realised, 'bang' this life is the fakest life in the world'.' 'After growing up in prison and seeing so many scenarios and people I've looked up to and seeing some of the moves that they pull themselves, I realised it's inevitable in this life bad things are gonna come.' 'Nothing good's gonna come, when money gets involved, when girls get involved people are gonna f*** people over.'
