Kerry and her I'm A Celeb BFF, who both appeared on the show in 2004, have been spending a lot of time together as they prepare to star as the Ugly Sisters in the pantomime Cinderella, which is running at a theatre in Cheshire throughout December.
But a source tells new that their growing closeness - and rumours Katie is encouraging Kerry, 44, to go under the knife again - has left some of Kerry's other pals worried that she's looking for support in the wrong place.

This comes as Kerry told new this week, "I am thinking about having my boobs done.
When Katie saw me, she asked if I was having them done straight away and it was the third time she's said it. I was like, 'OK, I get the hint - you think I need them done."" A source has voiced their concern about the influence surgery-loving Katie, who has had a whopping 17 boob jobs, is having on newly single Kerry.

After fresh photos emerged of Kerry and Katie dressed in similar outfits, walking arm in arm, Kerry's fans appeared concerned over whether former glamour model Katie, 46, who is currently dating Married At First Sight UK star JJ Slater, was the right person to be by her side and could be taking her down the wrong path. One said, "So, who would be the very last person you would go to for support on relationships?" Another commenter wrote, "Both ruined their natural beauty with plastic surgery."
But our columnist Kerry confirmed that Katie, who announced last month she was going under the knife again to achieve a "bubble butt", has indeed been offering her plastic surgery advice. "Katie has given me advice but I would never go abroad for my surgery," said the mum-of-five.
Kerry, who is planning a facelift in January, was recently quoted as saying, "She's just had her...
