Kerry Katona's mum flogged her WEDDING RINGS after furious row over Brian McFadden

Kerry Katona's mum sold off her daughter's wedding rings after having a furious row over Brian McFadden.

The Atomic Kitten star, 42, was once close to her mum Sue but the pair famously fell out in 2007.

Sue slammed Kerry's then husband Mark Croft in a newspaper, as she branded him a drug dealer.

Kerry has now revealed she gifted her mum the rings from her marriage to Westlife's Brian after they split in 2004.

But when the mum and daughter became estranged from each other, Sue flogged the wedding bands on eBay.

The television personality made the revelation in her column as she discussed Katie Price selling her iconic pink wedding dress online.

“She once said that she was keeping them for her daughters, which I understand as I wanted my girls to have my wedding rings, just so they had something from their parents being in love," she wrote in OK!.

“But I gave the rings from my first marriage to my mum and when we fell out she sold them on eBay."

She explained she gave her second wedding ring back and her third broke.

Kerry added: "So, unfortunately, my girls don’t have anything from the wedding days – but they have our genes. What more could they want?”

The singer got engaged to her personal trainer beau Ryan, 34, in 2020 but the pair are yet to say "I do".

Kerry was previously married to Brain McFadden from 2002 until 2006, Mark Croft from 2007 until 2011 and George Kay from 2014 until 2017.

She shares Mollie, 21, and Lilly-Sue, 20, with ex Brain, Heidi, 16, and Maxwell, 15, with ex Mark and Dylan-Jorge, nine, with her late ex George.

The mum of five candidly admitted it can feel "embarrassing" when marriages don't work out and she doesn't want "another public divorce".

She told OK! magazine: "I think that’s what holds me back when it comes to marrying Ryan.

"I know I’ll be with him forever, but there is that part of me that is worried about going through it all again."

Last year, Kerry revealed she was planning a Las Vegas wedding like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

Speaking about the A-lister's nuptials, which took place 20 years after Ben originally proposed to JLo, she said: "The way they got married is exactly the same as how Ryan and I want to do it – a low-key ceremony in Vegas.

"We’re just waiting for Covid restrictions to ease a bit more in America and then we’ll go ahead and do it," she told OK! magazine in July last year.
