Oh yes she did! Kerry Katona ‘lands £50,000 panto deal to play The Fairy Godmother in Cinderella’
The reality TV star will take to the stage in Lincoln this Christmas
Kerry Katona’s annus horribilis is set to end on a high note after she reportedly landed herself a £50,000 deal to star in panto.
The former pop star is believed to have signed up to play the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella at the Lincoln Theatre Royal this Christmas.
The 35-year-old has a gruelling schedule of 68 shows over 32 days but it’s a deal that a source told the Sunday people has “saved her”.
Speaking to the paper, the insider said: “She has also been given a seven-bedroom house for the run so that her entire family can join her.
“It has literally saved her as she had nothing else of any significance lined up.
“It’s huge money for her.”
Kerry will be hoping this panto role will be just the boost she needs to get her life back on track after what has been a turbulent year for the reality star so far.
She filed for divorce from her third husband, former rugby star George Kay after he was arrested for assaulting her.
He pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and possession of a banned weapon when he appeared in court in January
In April she was pictured drunkenly sprawled on the floor of the airport in Gran Canaria with her trousers around her ankle at 11 in the morning.
She has since defended herself and said she was a lightweight when it came to drinking and this wasn’t typical behaviour.
But then in May she made the headlines for her drinking antics again when she was seen and snapped at David Gest’s funeral knocking back drinks, rowing with guests and pulling down her knickers.
Kerry was also forced to deny she was dating convicted murderer Kevin Lane when she was snapped cosying up to him on a night out.
But her television profile was given a boost when she returned to the Loose Women panel as a host after a 12 year break.
And she was joined by her two daughters Molly, 14, and Lilly, 13, as the three of them spoke frankly about her battle with depression and her bi-polar disorder.
However, this week she was back making drunken headlines again when a video emerged of her on stage in Gran Canaria slurring her words, declaring to her audience that she might become a lesbian and that she only has children to land a magazine deal.
