Kerry Katona has revealed she's been forced to cancel her Vegas wedding to fiancé Ryan Mahoney due to her children wanting to be present.
The ex Atomic Kitten star, 43, who's been married three times, joked that the kids had already seen her walk down the aisle a few times, so could sit this one out.
Kerry shares Molly, 22, Lilly-Sue, 20, with first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 16, and Max, 15, with second spouse Mark Croft and Dylan Jorge, nine, with late third husband George Kay.
She told OK!: 'Ryan and I were looking to go to Vegas to finally get married but Molly and Lilly said, "Don’t you dare do that without us".
'I told them they’d already been at too many of my weddings! That put those plans on the back burner'.

Last year Kerry, who has been engaged to Ryan since 2022, admitted there are times she changes her mind about tying the knot because her track record is 'abysmal'.
Telling GB news: 'I was married at age 21 as everyone knows, and then I rushed into another marriage.
'My third marriage, my husband passed away, so I'm actually a widow. But I've been with Ryan now for five years and I am an old romantic, I believe in that happily ever after.
'Just because it didn't work out the first time, or the second, or the third time, does that mean I've got to be on my own for the rest of my life? No.'
Kerry also said Ryan plans to adopt her youngest child, DJ [Dylan Jorge] who was fathered by her late husband George Kay.
She said: 'I have five children, I've got three children at home so I also think about security as well.
'DJ, my youngest, she's only ever known Ryan. Her dad died when she was only five, she's only ever known Ryan.
'So we're going to go down the adoption route as well with DJ. But also, if anything was to happen to me, I want to make sure that security is there for my children to remain with Ryan and by being married, that all helps.

'But saying that, some days I really want to marry him and then some days I really really don't!
'So we haven't got married just yet because at the minute I really, really don't.'
'I think I'm scared. I'm actually scared. The thought of walking down the aisle. I get really scared because my track record has been abysmal.
'When I first got married my first husband was 21 and I just wanted it to last forever. I didn't want to be rich and famous, I always wanted to be a mummy and a wife.

Kerry was married to Mark Croft 2007-2011 and both battled drug addiction with Kerry even considering suicide during the relationship (pictured 2008)
Kerry was married to the late George Kay 2014-2017 said: 'My third husband, you know, I was in a really abusive relationship, but I kept going back and going back' (pictured together in 2013)
'We all want that happily ever after. And I still want that happily ever after, but I am a little bit scared.'
Kerry continued: 'I tried everything in my marriage, I really did. My third husband, you know, I was in a really abusive relationship, but I kept going back and going back.
'I've got no regrets from any of them because of all the lessons, but I think having a child was a much bigger deal than getting married.
'It's just a massive expense. When I marry Ryan, I'm just going to go to Vegas with Elvis.'
Ryan proposed during a family holiday in Spain, but in a sweet gesture first asked her kids for their mum's hand in marriage.
Kerry previously praised Ryan for being 'the most normal relationship she's ever had and revealed she wanted him to propose.
