KERRY KATONA'S romance with DAVE CUNNINGHAM is on the rocks after a string of rows, ViP can reveal.
Printer Dave flew to Ireland last week for crisis talks with the ex-Atomic Kitten babe in a bid to salvage their relationship.
Kerry - who split from husband BRIAN McFADDEN last year - has been arguing with Dave over the lack of time he spends with her two children MOLLY, four, and LILLY SUE, two. A source close to the star said: "It's always difficult for single mums when they meet a new man.
"The kids are her first priority and she wants to spend as much time with them as possible.
"But while Dave is fond of both the little girls, he's not their dad."
Kerry, 25, has been in Ireland filming a new TV show, while the children have stayed with her family in Warrington.

She decided it was better for them to stay at home rather than be taken out of school. But she hoped Dave, also 25, would see the girls in her absence.
Our source added: "She wanted Dave to spend time with them but he was busy going out with his friends. She wasn't happy about it."
The couple had a blazing row at a barbecue. So Dave flew to Ireland in a last-ditch attempt to work things out.
Let's hope they manage it.
Last night Kerry's spokesman said: "All couples have rows but I spoke to them yesterday and they were together and were fine."
