Kerry Katona goes make-up free as she arrives at Cheshire theatre with her co-stars ahead of her first night starring in Cinderella panto with best pal Katie Price

Kerry Katona cut a casual figure in a pair of camouflage tracksuit bottoms as she arrived at the theatre ahead of her first Cinderella panto performance in Cheshire on Sunday.

The TV personality, 44, wrapped up in a black fur coat as she arrived hand-in-hand with one of her co-stars. 

Kerry tucked her khaki skinny trousers into a pair of long black socks and kept comfortable in a pair of white trainers. 

The former Atomic Kitten star showed off her natural beauty as she went makeup free and kept her long blonde tresses out of her face with a black headband. 

She toted her belongings around, including a pair of black crocs, in a large white handbag.   

Kerry is gearing up for the first Cinderella performance which will see her starring in the pantomime alongside fellow celeb pal Katie Price. 

The pair, who have signed up for a spellbinding stint as the wicked stepsisters, will entertain audiences this Christmas at Northwich Memorial Court.

It comes after it was revealed that with rehearsals underway, Katie has decided to live with Kerry who lives conveniently close to the pantomime's venue, according to The Sun.

In light of Kerry's recent split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney, it seems that the Celebrity SAS star is stepping in as not just a co-star but a pillar of support during this shaky period.

On Tuesday, the pair were pictured out as they enjoyed a vape break while seen for the first time outside the theatre.

However, the former glamour model suffered an unfortunate mishap as she leaned on what appeared to be red paint on a railing, which proceeded to stain her joggers.

Despite the incident, the ladies appeared to be in good spirits, with Kerry putting on a brave face amid her split as she chatted with her close friend, who herself has had a chequered love life.

Kerry recently told how her six year relationship with fitness trainer Ryan was over and revealed he'd moved out.

It was later said Kerry was 'devastated' over the break-up, especially as he was 'like a father' to her children.

They added that the media personality is trying to be strong for Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 14, and eight-year-old DJ.

Writing in her OK! Magazine column last Thursday, Kerry penned: 'Last week I spoke about how Ryan and I were having a tough time and now he has moved out of the house.

'We are no longer together and It's been a really tough week - I never in a million years thought this would happen. Without going into too much detail, there has been a breach of trust between us.'

She continued: 'I don't know if we'll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much. I feel like everything has heaped on recently and it's so much to deal with, I am really struggling.

'But I know I can get through it no matter what happens, I've been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens.' 

Meanwhile, as her friend endures the heartbreak of her break-up, Katie was recently forced to rubbish claims of an imminent ninth marriage proposal from boyfriend JJ Slater.

Katie, whose previous three marriages ended in divorce, was said to be keen on taking her 11-month romance with MAFS star to the next level over the festive period.

But sources close to the racy model have since refuted any suggestion of a planned engagement to the reality TV personality, who she started dating in January.

An insider told MailOnline: 'No, Katie's not planning on proposing.'

Price has previously been engaged eight times and has three ex husbands - Peter Andre, Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler.

She was also engaged to previous partners Warren Furman in 1996, Scott Sullivan in 2004, Leandro Penna in 2012, Kris Boyson in 2018 and Carl Woods in 2021.
