The blonde beauty, who started dating former reality star Ricky after meeting on a cruise ship in 2023, decided to call time on their romance, despite sparking engagement rumours last February.

"Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they're still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it's definitely over," a source told the MailOnline today.

They added that they found it "difficult" to maintain a long distance relationship, with Katie in Manchester and Ricky in Essex.

And now Katie has shown off her amazing figure and bright, beaming smile while at a festival-style event with a friend.

Katie could be seen rocking a dazzling silver sequin miniskirt complete with a black long-sleeved top that had a cut out section in the middle of her chest.

She completed the look with a cowboy hat, some sunglasses, a bumbag and some cowboy boots.

 

Flashing a huge grin, and the peace sign, Katie beamed for the camera.

DAZZLING SNAPS

"What a moment," Katie penned in the caption of the photo dump she shared from the fun-filled day out.

She added: "Impromptu trip to London to see @rufusdusol live for the first time!!

"One of my all time fave artists. Amazing early birthday present @leeantonybennett."

Commenting on the ultra glamorous snaps Katie shared, one person said: "Too hot to handle."

Another wrote: "You look absolutely stunning & very glamourous."

"What a woman," swooned a third.

A fourth then wrote: "You look gorgeous. lovely pictures and video. Lovely outfit and hat."

WEDDING RUMOURS DASHED

Last February, speculation started to mount that the former soap star and reality star were about to head down the aisle.

The rumours ran rampant after she was pictured with a sparkler on her ring finger.

It came after The Sun exclusively revealed Katie and TOWIE alum Ricky had been dating for four months, following a video emerging of them kissing in the street.

 

Speaking at the time, an onlooker suggested they very much seemed to be an item.

They said: "They very much looked like girlfriend and boyfriend. They were holding hands, having a laugh and even had a little kiss as they walked amongst other Saturday afternoon shoppers."
