Two weeks ago she gushed that she had finally found ‘The One’ as she declared her love for her new boyfriend.

But while Kerry Katona is looking forward to some mistletoe action with artist Steve Alce, she is planning on taking this relationship slowly.

The unlucky-in-love reality TV star, 31, has been dating Alce, 33, for almost a month after they met at a charity event.

And she said although she is really happy with him, she doesn’t want to ‘jinx it’ by talking too much about it.

Speaking to Closer magazine, she said: ‘I’m very happy with Steve. I don’t want to jinx everything so I don’t want to say too much, but he’s made me realise that I can move on from my destructive previous relationships and just enjoy myself.

‘I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found my prince! He’ll be the one I’m snogging under the mistletoe this year. I’m an old-fashioned girl deep down – I’d love to get married again and have two more children

And Kerry said she has yet to tell her four children – Molly, 10 and Lilly-Sue, eight, from her marriage to Brian McFadden and Heidi, four, and three-year-old Max from her marriage to Mark Croft – about Steve.

She said: ‘A few weeks ago, Molly said to me, “Mum, when are you going to get a new boyfriend? We want you to be happy!”
‘And then Lilly frowned and added, “Don’t keep it a secret if you already have one!”‘

Kerry also spoke about getting over the past two turbulent years and how her life has taken a turn for the better since she divorced her second husband Mark Croft and cleared her debts.

She has also been clean of cocaine for two years and she said: ‘I’m a new woman and I feel fantastic. I’d never touch drugs again in a million years – I can barely handle a drink these days!

‘Kicking drugs has given me the time to really bond with my kids and I love it. I work 24/7 to make sure they have opportunities I never had and I’ve paid my way out of bankruptcy.’

She now lives in Surrey having moved away from her demons and her home town of Warrington to make a fresh start, and she said she intends to keep it that way.

She said: ‘I’ve left behind all the bad influences in my life and I’ve shoved enough sh*t up my nose to last several lifetimes. I love Warrington and I’m really proud of my roots, but I feel I’ve outgrown it.’

And she said she is really looking forward to getting festive in a couple of weeks time.

Kerry explained: ‘I can’t wait for Christmas this year – Mark’s got Heidi and Max on Christmas Day, so I’ll be celebrating at home with Molly, Lilly and my mum, Sue.

‘Mum will have to cook the turkey though, because everything I touch in the kitchen turns into a disaster! With four kids, I’ve got a lot of Christmas shopping to do – the whole house will be bulging with toys’
