Kerry Katona cites 'winners curse' in celebrity splits

Kerry Katona has linked recent celebrity breakups to a phenomenon she calls the "I’m A Celebrity winners' curse." She mentioned the split between Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott, as well as Jacqueline Jossa's marriage troubles, as examples of this curse. Kerry, a singer and reality star, noted that many winners of the show have faced relationship issues soon after their victory. She highlighted that Sam Thompson won in 2023 but is now single, while Jacqueline Jossa, crowned queen of the jungle in 2019, has split from her husband, Dan Osborne. Kerry also referenced the recent troubles of another winner, Danny Jones, who faced backlash after being seen kissing Maura Higgins. She pointed out that such public relationships often attract a lot of attention, making them difficult to manage. Reports have surfaced that Zara McDermott is now dating singer Louis Tomlinson. Meanwhile, a source revealed that Dan has fallen out of love with Jacqueline, leading to their separation. Jacqueline is reportedly heartbroken and trying to maintain a strong image on social media, despite the difficulties she faces. Dan has relocated to a home he purchased without telling Jacqueline, and she is now living separately in Essex. The couple's marital issues have drawn significant media attention in recent weeks.
