Kerry Katona has broken up with boyfriend Adam Waldron after a whirlwind three month romance, according to the papers. The News Of The World reports that the former I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner ended the relationship after declaring she had never been in love with Adam, a painter and decorator from Warrington. And she reportedly told the paper she did not want to get into another serious relationship so soon after her split from husband Mark Croft. "I don't want to be anybody's girlfriend," she said. "For the first time in my life I feel like I can stand on my own two feet. I'm staying single." Kerry added that she wanted to focus on her four children instead, admitting she had found it hard to cope in the past week while Molly and Lilly-Sue were visiting their dad Brian McFadden in America, and Heidi and Max were with Mark in Warrington. "I've been by myself for the last week and I haven't been able to deal with it," she said. "It's made me realise all I want is to spend my summer with my kids. I have missed them so much. I can't be worrying about a man. "It's the first time I've been able to make a decision like this myself. I decided I just can't split myself in so many ways." However the Sunday Mirror claims that Kerry split up with Adam after he told her he wanted to stay out of the limelight - and that she ended it because he was "too nice". "Kerry’s great, but the life she leads isn’t for me," he told the paper. "I'm just a normal bloke. I'm not into the fame and being pictured and all that. Kerry tried to make it work, she wanted us to make a go of it, but we're too different. It's a shame, she's a great girl." Kerry revealed details of the split by changing her Facebook profile status to "single", and told friends she was in "a very good mood" after it had happened. She is reported to have told one pal: "He's the nicest boyfriend I've ever had. But I'm having to accept that I don't have time for a boyfriend. I've got too much going on and it's not fair."
