Kerry Katona: I couldn't believe George was prepared to take on a former bankrupt drug addict with four children by two different men

Finally found 'the one' ... Kerry Katona and George Kay will wed in the summer

KERRY Katona says she is certain her third marriage is going to work — because she has finally found "the one".

The 32-year-old, who got engaged to former rugby player George Kay two weeks ago, gushed: "I knew George was 'the one' on our first date.
"I feel like he's always been in my life - it's like he's a part of me."
And Kerry, who first met George as a teenager before losing touch and then bumping into him again in a bar last year, insists that her marriage will be different this time round.
She added: "I'm sick of people saying I'm another Katie Price. The first time I got married [to Brian McFadden] I was 21 and a kid myself.
"The second time I got hitched [to Mark Croft] I was on drugs and it was a rebound thing.
"Now I've been clean for three years and I've never been so certain in my life.

Happy family ... Kerry Katona and her children celebrate with George Kay after he popped the question

"I'm going into this full steam - I know it's going to work. It's got to f***ing work this time."
And the mum-of-four says that she is now at last at the right stage in her life to get hitched.
The Atomic Kitten star said: "I'm 32 now, this is when it should've happened the first time. But I can't regret anything that's happened in my past because I have my four amazing kids.
"My first two marriages were just practice runs."
Former Warrington Wolves rugby pro George, 33, popped the question at the top of Blackpool Tower surrounded by Kerry's four kids, Molly, 11, Lilly-Sue, ten, Heidi, six, and five-year-old Max.
But first he says he had to get her mum Sue's permission, and the children's blessing too.
He told the mag: "It was at Christmas that I actually got the blessing from Kerry's mum Sue. Me and Sue are really close."
Kerry added: "George is the first guy who my mum's genuinely loved. She's hated every single man I've gone out with.

Loved-up ... Kerry Katona and George Kay

"But way before he proposed, I also told him if he was going to ask me, he'd have to ask the kids first."
George revealed: "I took Molly and Lilly-Sue, the two older ones, aside and they were absolutely made up.
"I then bought the ring and showed them and they spent two months helping me organise the proposal at the Blackpool Tower.
"Originally Molly had wanted me to organise a flash mob dance at a shopping centre."
And Kerry revealed having her kids at the proposal made it even more perfect.
She declared: "My heart melted because he hadn't made it about me and him - it was about our babies too.
"I couldn't believe he was prepared to take on a former bankrupt drug addict with four children by two different men.
"I knew we were a family then. This is how a relationship should be."

Out now ... Now magazine

And Kerry says she can't wait to add to her family. She said: "I've always wanted to have six kids, another baby - or two - is definitely on the cards.
"George has told me he'd never met a girl who he wanted to be the mother of his kids before me."
The couple are now planning to wed in the summer.
Kerry revealed: "We want to get married this summer. The important thing for me is that the kids are involved.
"Molly, Lilly-Sue and Heidi are going to be bridesmaids. Max is going to give me away seeing as I don't have a dad.
"I've got it all planned out how I want it to be. But it can't be anything too out of this world, cos money's tight."
Some people have questioned Kerry's engagement to George, who once spent nearly three-and-a-half years in jail for blackmail and also admits to having taken drugs in the past.
But George says he has turned his life around since "going down the wrong path in life".
He revealed: "I was involved in stuff that I shouldn't have been involved with.
"I'm obviously not proud of that but you grow up and you grow out of all of those things."
And Kerry adds that everyone deserves a second chance.
She said: "I'm not a judgmental person myself. I got a second chance so he deserves one as well."
Former I'm A Celeb winner Kerry also told how this isn't the first time George has asked her to marry him.
She added: "I was in a nightclub called Mr Smiths when I was 17 and I was dancing when I felt this tap on my shoulder.
"It was George, he said: 'Kerry, will you marry me?' I said nope straight away."
And Kerry says she's glad they never became a couple when they were kids.
She added: "If we'd got together when we were younger, it never would've worked.
"We both went off the rails. We both probably would've ended up dead.
"There's a reason why it's happened now - we've both changed our lives."
