Kerry Katona has opened up about her upcoming wedding to Ryan Mahoney after picking out her dream wedding dress. 

The former Atomic Kitten star, 40, took part in Say Yes To The Dress ahead of the Vegas wedding she has planned with Ryan, 32, but admitted she initially found it difficult to get excited about their big day after the trauma she has experienced with past husbands. 

Kerry told Metro.co.uk: ‘I wanted to do it because I needed to really get in the right frame of mind. Every time the wedding got mentioned or the fact I was getting married – not that Ryan turns my stomach – it made me feel a bit sick, because I thought I needed some kind of therapy.

‘Doing Say Yes To The Dress was the best therapy because I think I have post-traumatic stress, honestly I do, and doing the show and being with Gok, it was a massive journey for me.’

Viewers will get to see Kerry battle with her confidence as she enters the bridal store, before coming to embrace the excitement and joy of her upcoming wedding. 

She admits: ‘I felt really embarrassed. I felt like it wasn’t entitled to be excited about the wedding and I wasn’t entitled to feel giddy about trying on dresses. I wasn’t entitled, because I’ve been there and done it.
