    Kerry Katona is thinking of moving to Dubai

    The former Atomic Kitten singer's "romantic getaway" with new boyfriend Paolo Margaglione was abruptly cut short last week when the 33-year-old model had to return to the UK for work, but Kerry - who has five children from previous relationships - made the most of her time in the UAE and is now considering relocating permanently.


    She wrote in her column for new! magazine: "Paolo and I travelled to Dubai for a romantic getaway for our first Valentine's Day, where we had a mega-quick 20-minute catch up with Katie Price and her husband Lee.

    "But unfortunately, during the trip, Paolo had to go back to the UK for a work emergency. I got to spend literally 14 hours with him before he had to leave, which meant I was left alone in Dubai, which we were both gutted about.

    "I can see why so many celebrities move to Dubai. It's definitely somewhere I'd consider moving to. It's safe, clean, it's lovely, everyone looks after each other - in fact I could probably see myself living there this time next year. And my children would come with me."

    Despite enjoying her own company, the 45-year-old star ultimately decided to cut her trip short in order to be with Paolo on Valentine's Day (14.02.26).

    She wrote: "I spent the time by myself, sitting by the pool and going through emails, trying to catch up on work in the sunshine.

    "It looked like I would be spending Valentine's Day in Dubai alone because of Paolo's work emergency, and I was thinking, it's just one day in a year - we can celebrate our love for one another every other day, like we do anyway.

    "The silver lining was me sunbathing and making the most of some down time before heading on tour with Abba Mia in May.

    "But then I had a change of heart and decided to fly home early to be with him.

    "As I write, I don't know what he's got up his sleeve, but I don't care, as long as we're together."
