Kerry Katona’s loved-up throwback with Lucien Laviscount after viral romance
Pictures from Kerry Katona ’s loved-up photoshoot with actor Lucien Laviscount have emerged after details of their previous romance re-emerged and went viral.
The Atomic Kitten singer, now 42, and the former Waterloo Road heartthrob, now 30, got together after meeting in the Celebrity Big Brother House in 2011.
The actor found new dizzy heights of fame recently after appearing on Netflix hit Emily in Paris.
Lucien’s career has skyrocketed since he bagged the role, and he’s even been tipped as being in the running to replace Daniel Craig as the next James Bond.
Kerry and Lucien dated after their Big Brother stint, but their relationship wasn’t to last as their 12-year age gap turned into a major bone of contention.

But in a re-surfaced interview from 2011, Kerry joked she didn't think she was Lucien's type and admitted the age-gap was "holding them back".
She spilled at the time: "Lucien has it all – he's a geek, intelligent, loveable, great for cuddles, understanding. He is everything all rolled into one. But I don't think I'm his type.”
“I've got four kids and he's 19. My eldest is 10 – her step-dad would only be nine years older than her.
"I'm sure I could get locked up for that! If he was a little older, then yes, I'd destroy him! The age gap is definitely holding us back," she confessed at the time.
Kerry is now engaged to Ryan Mahoney while Lucien isn't dating anyone at the moment.
The pair's romance appeared to be a distant memory for both them and fans – until their photoshoot with OK! magazine resurfaced online and went viral last week.
Fans were left surprised to learn of their 12-year age gap romance as details of their previous fling went viral.
And this week, Kerry has spoken out on the recent fan reaction to her and Lucien's connection and revealed the actor was "charming" and "talented".
She told OK! magazine: "Apparently my OK! magazine cover from 2011 with my former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Lucien Laviscount has gone viral on social media! Lucien was very charming and obviously easy on the eye, and it was all just a bit of fun."

Kerry revealed she has watched the actor in the Netflix series and complimented the actor.
"I have seen Lucien as Alfie in Emily In Paris on Netflix – he’s a great actor, so it’s no wonder he is being tipped to be the next Bond," she said.
"People were even joking that I could have made a good Bond girl – and that just made me giggle!"
Kerry is now engaged to marry her personal trainer beau and recently revealed plans to lose three stone before her wedding.
The mum-of-five and her husband-to-be are set to tie the knot this year, after getting engaged in 2020 as Ryan popped the question during a trip for Kerry's 40th birthday.
