Fellow celebrities Kerry Katona and Danielle Lloyd are among those who are said to have loosened their connections with her.
Insiders claim former glamour model Katie’s consistently concerning behaviour has been putting a strain on those in her inner circle.
A source revealed: “Katie has had a solid group of girls around her for the best part of a decade but now many of her long-term friends are finally cutting ties.
“She hasn’t been seen with any of them in months. After everything that has happened with Katie recently, it feels like things have gone too far.
“They all still love and care for her but feel that they can’t be mates with her at this point.”
ALIENATED
Last month Katie, 43, was arrested on suspicion of breaching a restraining order after she allegedly texted her ex-husband Kieran Hayler and his fiancee Michelle Penticost. In the previous month she was slapped with a 16-week suspended sentence and a two-year ban for drink-driving without insurance while disqualified. Both those highprofile incidents are thought to have alienated close pals including Kerry, 41, and Danielle, 38. Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, a fellow star of internet service Onlyfans, was a bridesmaid at Katie’s wedding to Peter Andre in 2005. And Katie has known model and Big Brother star Danielle for decades. A source told the Sunday Mirror: “Kerry has loved Katie ever since their jungle stint together on I’m A Celebrity in 2004 and the pair were inseparable around the time Katie married Peter. “But she decided a while ago that it was time to let Katie make her own mistakes. “You have to be tireless to keep trying to help. Katie needs to want to help herself first. “Even when Kerry tried to help get Katie back on the straight and narrow, she just doesn’t seem to want help. Now Kerry has realised there is only so long you can keep trying to help someone who doesn’t want it. “For Danielle, the turning point was Katie’s drinkdriving crash last September. As a mum she just found it hard. She ended up unfollowing her on Instagram. “It’s that on top of other things which has meant that the pair have just drifted apart.”
