Reality TV icon Katie Price has pulled out of her upcoming joint tour with fellow TV personality Kerry Katona, just weeks before the first date.
The pair were due to embark on a 33-date live show titled An Evening with Katie and Kerry, On Tour, which was set to begin in Ellesmere Port on Thursday, September 11, and wrap up in Hull on October 22. The tell-all tour promised fans an unfiltered look into the lives of two of Britain’s most headline-grabbing celebrities. But now, with Katie stepping back, the future of the tour is uncertain.
According to reports, the 46-year-old mum-of-five has been "forced" to pull out of the tour due to childcare commitments and a packed schedule.
A source close to the star told The Sun: “Katie is gutted and tried everything she could to make it work, but she has had to step away from the tour because she has childcare commitments and also a very busy schedule.”
Fans who were eager to see the two former I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! contestants reunite on stage may now be left disappointed. The insider added: “She hates letting her fans down and hopes to be able to do something similar in the future.”

As of now, it remains unclear whether Kerry Katona will go ahead with the tour solo, bring in a replacement co-host, or cancel the show altogether. No official statement has been made on whether ticket holders will be refunded or if the schedule will be reworked.
The concept behind the tour had generated buzz for its promise of raw and candid conversation, giving fans a chance to hear never-before-told stories from the celebrity duo's rollercoaster lives, covering fame, motherhood, relationships, and reality TV scandals.
Katie has been juggling multiple projects in recent months, including her podcast, various media appearances, and her ongoing role as a parent to her five children. With her diary reportedly "full to bursting," something had to give, and unfortunately, it's the tour that’s taken the hit.
For now, fans will have to wait and see whether Kerry continues solo or if the entire production is shelved. One thing’s for sure: it’s not the drama-free lead-up the pair were hoping for.
