This rumors kicked off back when it was reported that Kerry would be moving in to Ampika's mansion as she filmed for the upcoming seventh season of RHOCheshire as producers were allegedly desperate to sign her up.
Kerry is said to be convinced joining the show will be the perfect way to bounce back following her split from third husband George Kay this year. A source told the Sunday Mirror that Katona would be a perfect fit for the show.
"Kerry’s private life is as dramatic as an episode of Real Housewives of Cheshire, so she’ll fit right in," a source told the publication. "She used to live in the area so there’s no reason why she couldn’t be part of the Cheshire set."
"The plan is a cameo with Kerry being seen there cooking on Christmas Day – but who knows where it may lead."
The publication also added that original cast member Ampika, who quit the show after five seasons will be returning to the ITVBe reality show in 2018 to rejoin the cast.
As previously reported, The Real Housewives of Cheshire has officially renewed for Season 7. It was announced during the reunion special for Season 6 that the network will bring back the sassy reality show for a seventh season in 2018.
The network confirmed the news with fans on social media. "Mourning the loss of #RHOCheshire? Never fear, we'll be back soon with Season 7!," they wrote via their official Twitter page. "Make sure you're up to date with the heart breaks and BFFs with this handy little guide..."
