They've been putting on a united front following his public meltdown earlier this month.
And Kerry Katona stuck closely by her soon-to-be husband George Kay's side as they prepared to throw a joint stag and hen bash on Friday.
Sipping champagne on the balcony of a London hotel, the couple decided to snub tradition and team up for a 'Sten do', with the Atomic Kitten singer sporting a 'bride' badge as they got ready.

Earlier in the week, Kerry had revealed she was struggling to find a dress for their party, tweeting: 'Have the mostAmazing Kids &TheLoveOfMyLife! Still don't have a dress or shoes but who cares ;-) #NakedStenParty.'
She then joked that nudity wasn't an option as her future mother and father-in-law would be present: 'mmmm on second thoughts you mum and dad are coming!! Maybe not! Lol.'
After their hotel drinks, the group headed to London's swanky DSTRKT club, with George telling his Twitter followers: 'On our way to @dstrklondon.. What a night ahead!'
Although their wedding is scheduled for September, Kerry has admitted she's already suffering nerves ahead of the big day.
She wrote on Twitter earlier this week as she had a make-up and hair run-through, adding: 'GoodMorning omg I have a rest run with hair and make up today for the wedding and don't have time to find dress and shoes!!! Arghhh.

Kerry has already walked down the aisle twice before: she was married to former Westlife star Brian McFadden between 2002 and 2006 and taxi driver Mark Croft from 2007 to 2011.

He was arrested after 'running in and out of cars' and behaving in a very agitated manner outside the couple's home in Chinor, Oxon.

The 34-year-old - who suffered the equivalent of three minor heart attacks during the ordeal - later admitted that he had mixed steroids, sleeping pills and alcohol before the outburst.
In an interview with OK!, he explaied, 'I'm heartbroken I've put Kerry through this. I've suffered the equivalent of three heart attacks.
'The brain is so delicate and the doctors said it was a chemical imbalance.
'I had no feeling of madness or that I was going to cause absolute uproar and rampage down the street.

Kerry revealed that she had pushed her fiance to work out ahead of their wedding: 'I made George lose weight and go to the gym. He's lost five stone since we first met.
'I said "You're too big, you can't keep wearing these massive T-Shirts!" So maybe I'm to blame, but I love him no matter what.
She continued: 'He's been an idiot but I still love him and can't wait to be his wife. I can't reassure him any more than I already have, he knows I think he's gorgeous whatever size he is.'
The couple welcomed daughter Dylan-Jorge Rose in April. The tot is her fifth child.
