Kerry Katona joins Real Housewives star and her West Ham boss fiance David Sullivan at Man City match after rebuilding friendship

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona enjoyed a day out at West Ham United on a double date with her friend Ampika Pickston. Kerry was all smiles at the London Stadium alongside her fiance Ryan Mahoney as they watched West Ham play their first match of the Premier League season against Manchester City.

Kerry, 41, and Ryan, 33, joined Ampika, 41, and her West Ham co-owner fiance David Sullivan, 73. And loved-up Ampika beamed beside the Welsh businessman, who reportedly proposed to the former Real Housewives Of Cheshire star on her 40th birthday last July.

Kerry shared a clip of the couples at the football on her Instagram and wrote: "What a great day @WestHam." Ampika, who runs Ampika's Aesthetics providing aesthetic and cosmetic training, in Harley Street, Cheshire and Glasgow, went public about her relationship with one of Britain's richest men on her Instagram Stories last September as the smitten couple watched a performance by singer JP Cooper.

Billionaire David, who made his money in the adult entertainment industry, ran Birmingham City before he, joint chairman David Gold and vice-chairman Baroness Karren Brady took over West Ham in 2010. In June Ampika shared a photo of the pair enjoying a romantic dinner in Marbella as she told how much her man means to her.

"Living my best life with someone very special, David. You have picked me up this week and it’s thanks to you I have a smile on my face. Thank you to all the LOVERS," she wrote.

And in May she shared a montage of pictures of the pair as she spoke of their 'magical' relationship and urged her followers to never give up searching for the right person. "When you 'pick and click' with the right person life can become magical," she typed.

"If you have someone amazing in your world you're very lucky. Maybe you're happy just being and doing you which is fantastic too. "For those still searching NEVER give up the right person to be magnetised to all your beauty inside and out maybe just around the corner. Biggest love to all my fantastic followers."

Ampika starred in five seasons of the ITVBe series Real Housewives, which follows the lives of glam and wealthy ladies living in Cheshire, and was one of the original cast line-up from 2015. Last year she and Kerry were delighted to have made up following a fall-out.

She said how much she had missed mother-of-five Kerry as she posted a snap of the pair sharing a friendly kiss on her Instagram and expressed how a 'good friendship can never be broken.' "Missed you so much and your beautiful children……. No words only 1 ……. L.O.V.E," she penned to her friend.

And she added: "A good friendship can NEVER be broken . So please make up with someone important…. Life’s toooooooo short." And Kerry posted snaps of the glam friends out together for a meal with the words: "@ampikapickston1 missed you!! Soooooooo much."

Writing in her New! column Kerry said: "I'm back in touch with my friend Ampika Pickston, who was in The Real Housewives of Cheshire, which has been an absolute blessing.

"We had a brief fallout but it wasnt anything serious. Everyone falls out over silly things. Life is way too short so I decided to get in contact with her. Meeting up with her made me realise how much I missed her."

Kerry called Ampika her 'guardian angel' when she moved in with her in 2017 when she was starring in the pantomime Sleeping Beauty in Middleton. In March the following year they hosted an Audience with Kerry Katona and Ampika Pickston at the Grosvenor Casino in Didsbury, touching on the hard-hitting subjects of mental health, addiction and divorce.
