Kerry Katona has insisted that she is not in a relationship with ex-Coronation Street actor Lucien Laviscount.
Speculation about the pair continued after they left the Celebrity Big Brother house earlier this month. Reports suggested that they had got together after spending time alone in a hotel.
"Just to clear up all the stories about me and Lucien, there is no romance. If he was ten years older he'd be perfect, but he's like a little kid," Katona wrote in her OK magazine column.
"I love him but I'm not going to marry him." The 31-year-old added that she can't "see myself in a relationship ever again", writing: "I've been hurt so much and put up so many barriers and I don't love myself enough. Once I do, then maybe I'll let somebody else love me.
"I feel sorry for Lucien and the stories about him chatting up two TV babes on a night out last week because he's never experienced that before. They should leave the lad alone, he's fresh out of the house so probably hasn't had any action in a while so why shouldn't he go out and chat up sexy young hot girls?
"He sent me a text the next day, saying: 'How do you deal with this?' I sent him one back saying: 'Take it with a pinch of salt, babe, welcome to my world'."
