Kerry Katona thinks she's "still in love" with Ryan Mahoney

She told life coaches The Speakmans on their 'Hope Clinic' podcast: "I think I am still in love with Ryan.

"But I don't think I'll ever get back with him, ever. I became an asset."

The former Atomic Kitten singer described her ex as "a great business partner but a s*** fiance".

She said: "I'm never going to get from Ryan what I want, and I realised that now. I think I just plodded along with it.

"I used to say, 'You're a great business partner but a s*** fiance'. I was made to feel as though it was all me.

"Ryan is not emotionally available for me - I want someone who is really going to show their emotions for me, and grab me and tell me they love me, and how worthy I am.

"It doesn't mean he's a bad person."

Looking to the future, Kerry hopes she will find love again, but she's not rushing into another relationship.

She added: "I still believe I will find the love of my life.

"I've had many loves of my life, but at the moment, I want to just be in a relationship wtih myself - for at least 12 months."

Ryan was almost 10 years her junior, and Kerry - who has signed up for UK dating TV show 'Celebs Go Dating' - has insisted she wants to avoid younger men after their split.

In her column for OK! magazine, she wrote: "I'm a bit of a nightmare!

"I'm very abrupt and to the point, half of the men in the first mixer were half my age, so I told them not to come near me - I could be their mum!

"I can't say too much more, but I can't wait for you all to watch it!"
