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

The Sun reports that it comes after mum-of-five Katona, 36, had been due to enter UK Big Brother for a stint in the house earlier this month, but was forced to pull out due to “domestic issues”.

Friends say Kay 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.”

Katona’s three year marriage to former rugby player Kay, 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 Kay was acquitted of attacking her after Katona withdrew her statement and they reconciled.

Katona 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, Kay posted on Instagram this week a message reading: “The only person I trust is me.”
