Bad boy rugby star George walked out on his wife-of-three-years following a string of rows

ATOMIC Kitten star Kerry Katona has split from third husband George Kay - after he walked out on her following a string of rows.

It comes after mum-of-five Kerry, 36, had been due to enter Channel 5's Big Brother for a stint in the house alongside reality stars Marnie Simpson, Gemma Collins and Nicola McClean earlier this month, but was forced to pull out due to “domestic issues”.

Friends say George has moved out of the family home in Crowborough, East Sussex and plans to return over the weekend to collect the rest of his belongings.

A source close to the singer revealed: “Tensions reached breaking point about a month ago and it all came to head when George told Kerry that he was tired of acting as a nanny to her kids.

"He is sick of being stuck at home, while Kerry was able to swan about and do what she pleased."

Kerry’s three year marriage to former rugby player George, 37, has always been turbulent.

The couple, who have a three-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge, also known as DJ, split in 2015 following claims he assaulted her and she had vowed to walk away from the relationship for good.

But a year later George was acquitted of attacking her after Kerry withdrew her statement and they reconciled.

Kerry has two daughters from her first marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden, Molly, 16, and Lilly-Sue, 14, as well as Heidi, 10, and Maxwell, nine, with second husband Mark Croft.

Tellingly, George posted on Instagram this week a message reading: "The only person I trust is me."
