Delta Knocks Back Potato’s Proposal, Probably Due To Those Pesky Kids

You know, in the bastion of things not to do when dating someone who already has children, it’s safe to say that admitting your resentment of them in an interview is probably not a great idea.

Well, no one told Delta that, as she aired her thoughts regarding partner Brian “Potato” McFadden’s daughters with ex-wife Kerry “Chipshop” Katona earlier this year.

And now, it seems Delts has KO’ed Potato’s proposal of marriage, and we’ll give you one guess as to why.

McFadden popped the question last Friday, after returning to Sydney from a working visit to his hometown of Dublin – with an engagement ring.

However, sources close to the Goodrem camp say she has struggled to accept becoming a stepmother to his two daughters at such a young age.

“She really loves him very much, but doesn’t want to be a mum so soon. It’s a huge responsibility and she’s still too young,” an insider said yesterday.

The 23-year-old has made no secret of the challenge she faced winning over his children from his first marriage to UK pop star, Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona.

“I love the kids, but admit it was very hard when it started,” she said in a recent magazine report.

What Shakespeare is trying to say is “I can’t be stuffed doing Stepmom stuff and would rather be tending to my new hair extensions and writhing around on top of a bucket chair to express my newfound passion for life and love”.

Which, when you think about it, is probably what Chipshop did when it came to mothering duties, so maybe Delta shouldn’t be so hard on herself.
