‘MUM IS A FIGHTER… SHE’S MY ROCK’

the stories, saying: “This whole situation is a great moneymakin­g opportunit­y,” and that he felt “sorry” for Kieran.

While Nikki has denied the allegation­s, Kieran, who has two children with Jordan – Jett, four, and Bunny, three – last week branded the affair “cheap, cold and meaningles­s,” and said his sex addiction made him cheat, saying: “Can you imagine how embarrasse­d I am about being a sex addict, mortified at admitting this? Look at Katie… and look at her (Nikki)!”

And in another blow, Kieran’s ex-girlfriend Lauraalici­a Summers, 32 – who has previously appeared on TV show Ex On The Beach – last week boasted that Kieran never cheated on her during their four-month romance, which came to an end in 2012 when he met Jordan, saying his infidelity was caused because “he wasn’t allowed to leave the house… rather than a sex addiction.”

She’d also faced humiliatio­n three weeks ago after Olivia Attwood – girlfriend to Love Island’s Chris Hughes – hit out following reports Jordan had been messaging and flirting with him, saying: “It’s laughable she thinks he would entertain it. She’s got a few too many kids.”

FEELING TRAPPED

And pals say the former glamour model, who boasted in March that she always lines up the next man before a split to avoid being single, is still in limbo over the future of her third marriage.

The source says: “Katie doesn’t want to contemplat­e the prospect of being single with five children, so for the moment is keeping Kieran at home – the atmosphere is toxic.

“She loves to feel desirable and has built up her whole career on her looks and sexuality, and it’s a huge knock for her ego that right now she hasn’t got a toyboy waiting in the wings. Katie has never really been single and won’t leave Kieran until she has a guarantee of someone new.”

The source adds: “She’s feeling trapped. With all the recent upset in her life and with her going through her darkest days, she’s worried about being left alone should her marriage end or anything happen to her mum.”
