Kerry Katona wants to marry in Las Vegas

Kerry Katona wants to get married in Las Vegas.

The former Atomic Kitten star – who has been married three times before to Brian McFadden, Mark Croft and the late George Kay – recently got engaged to Ryan Mahoney and though a designer has offered to make her a dress for the occasion, she’d rather keep things low-key and not even get dressed up for the big day.

Writing in her latest New! magazine column, she said: "Following mine and Ryan’s announcement I had a lovely designer approach me to make my bridal gown.

"And the weirdest thing is … my stomach turned. I just can’t even fathom the idea of getting all dressed up for it.

"I still see myself going to Vegas in a pair of jeans."

Kerry previously described Ryan’s proposal as the "most romantic" she’d experienced in her life and a "perfect" moment in her life.

She said: "It was the most romantic ever, the most well thought out. The other proposals don’t even compare. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

"But the thing is … I’m not in this giddy state of excitement – I feel totally relaxed and calm about it. It just feels right. I knew we’d get engaged, I just didn’t know when!"

Kerry – who turned 40 on 6 September – revealed Ryan proposed before her pre-birthday party, and he got her son Max, 12, to help out by telling his mum that her partner needed her upstairs.

Ryan explained: "So she came upstairs, not thinking anything of it…"

The bride-to-be added: "And there were rose petals all over the bed and the floor and I knew right away what was about to happen.

"Ryan took me out to the balcony and he goes, ‘You know I love you, right?’ And I thought, ‘Oh God!’ But in the best way!

"Of course I said yes immediately. I was blown away by the size of the ring to be honest!"

Kerry – who also has four other children, Molly, 18, Lilly, 17, Heidi, 13, and DJ, six, from her previous marriages – was delighted with the two carat ring, which was bought from the jeweller used by Queen Elizabeth II.

Ryan said: "All the kids were involved the whole way through. I’d told them beforehand what I wanted to do and I took Heidi and DJ ring shopping with me.

"The jewellery I chose was actually jeweller to the Queen. She once bought the owner a corgi as a thank you present!

"So the rings there are top drawer and the ring I ended up with is amazing. I got a great deal."
