Kerry Katona has shut down a troll who branded her new boyfriend a ‘fame hungry red flag’ and said their 12-year age gap ‘doesn’t bother’ her.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 45, hit back at a critic online after they went in on her new love interest, influencer Paolo Margaglione, 33, who she met on Celebs Go Dating.
They seemed to hit it off quickly on the E4 dating show, and she described him as ‘amazing’ following her split from Ryan Mahoney last November.
During an Instagram video, Kerry and Paolo – who is a father-of-two – answered questions about their new relationship.
One of the questions said that Paolo was only with Kerry for the fame.
Kerry quickly shut it down, claiming her new man is ‘supportive’.

She said: ‘If anything, he’s been more supportive of me because I’m the one who has struggled with it more than anything.
‘When people see the connection we have together and how we are they understand it’s not about anything other than that.’
She was later asked about him being 12 years her junior, but admitted that it’s not an issue to her.
‘No it doesn’t bother me anymore, you’re only as old as the man you’re feeling,’ she shared.
Paolo added: ‘I second that, sorry Heidi.’
Kerry has become a step mum to Paolo’s kids, which is a role she has taken on so easily.
On the video, she explained: ‘It’s great. It’s brought the house alive. You and your kids have brought the best of us out.
‘I’ve never been this happy ever in my entire life. I’ve got everything and more I’ve ever wanted.’

It comes after Kerry’s good pal Katie Price revealed the pair were ‘booted out’ of their hotel hours before their show, An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona.

On her Snapchat, Katie shared an update of how her morning was going and wrote: ‘Hotel booted us out’
In the video she explained in more detail, saying: ‘Morning everyone, well believe it or not had a good night sleep. The theatre is only 1o minutes away from the hotel, and don’t you just hate it when people knock on the door of your hotel, “come on you’ve got to get out now”
‘It really winds me up. I’m like, “yes if you want to come in you can see we are packing up,” anyway we are at the theatre six hours early which is good so I’m going to find a Subway. So I’m going to put the kittens in, settle them in, and then go and get a Subway.’
