So Delta *Is* Marrying The Potato After All

You know how everyone reported that Delta thought she was too young to become a stepmother – officially – to Brian McFadden’s kids and baulked at his romantic marriage proposal?

The pair have almost disappointedly had to alert everyone to the fact that they are engaged after all, which has left the press about as thrilled and excited as Liberace upon finding a “CLOSED INDEFINITELY” sign on the door of his local Swarovski rhinestone warehouse.

The statement reads: “The couple were hoping to keep the news private however they feel it is important to now confirm the exciting news.”

Brian and Delta met when recording a duet together while he was still married to drug-addict Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, with whom he has two children.

They began dating shortly after Brian’s marriage to Kerry fell apart.

Since then, McFadden has been involved in a divorce battle that cost him over £70,000 but is said to be re-launching his career in Hollywood.

Clearly the UK press are really fond of the former Potato-Chipshops, if the number of sly digs in that excerpt are to be believed. Basically, reading between the lines there, he’s a washed up former pop wannabe who found a better option while married to his drug-addled washed-up wife, got taken to the cleaners by her and will probably fail in his desperate attempts to get his career back on track again.

As one of the astute commenters on the Mail’s website says, “The jungle [i.e. I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!] beckons.”
