Katie then shouted that she was single before she and Kerry directed kisses towards the camera.

Kerry's daughter Heidi, who has long been friends with Princess, was also there - with her eldest Molly appearing via video link on her phone.

Both Katie and Kerry have long defended their friendship, which at times has been so close they asked one another to be bridesmaids at their weddings.

But Kerry said that while they would always be pals, they tended to come in and out of one another's lives.
