Kerry Katona and fiancé George Kay's pre-wedding party was reportedly a fiasco after the couple had a huge argument at London's Hotel Verta in Battersea on Friday.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: 'The do was an absolute disaster. After the spa treatments Kerry and George had some sort of huge fight... she was crying and was really upset.

'All the guests got on the boat and were waiting for ages wondering what was going on. Then 45 minutes later they were told the party was being cancelled and to get off.'
The newspaper was told that bandmate and bridesmaid Liz McClarnon, 33, went to see her to try find out what had happened.
The insider said: 'Liz and Karen Belton, a friend from home, went to try to talk her down but she refused... She wouldn't leave the room all night.'

Celebration: The former rugby player was seen enjoying a glass of fizz on the balcony
Earlier in the day, the party had indulged in spa treatments, with George, 34, allegedly having a spot of botox ahead of the bid day next month.
MailOnline has contacted a spokesman for the star following these reports.
There was no mention of the party on Kerry's Twitter page, but she did write: 'Is wishing everyone a great Sunday full of laughter and family. Xxxxx'.
The couple had been photographed sipping champagne on the balcony of their hotel prior to the bust-up, with sporting a 'bride' badge as she got ready.
Sten pals: The couple snubbed separate pre-wedding nights out and headed out in London together with their family and friends, including George's mum and dad
Earlier in the week, Kerry had revealed that 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.'
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.
Tough times: The celebration comes after Kerry vowed to stand by her fiance after he was arrested and detained following a public meltdown
'I have butterflies in my belly!Lol wish my mum was here to share it with me!! :-( I'm getting really nervous.'
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.
The combined party comes just weeks after the singer-turned-reality TV star vowed to stand her former rugby player beau after he was briefly detained under the Mental Health Act following a shocking rampage.
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.

George - 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 explained, '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.
The couple welcomed daughter Dylan-Jorge Rose in April. The tot is her fifth child.
