The Atomic Kitten singer allowed the 36-year-old former rugby star to move back into her home recently, which she shares with her five kids, and the pair are now happier than ever and looking ahead to the future.

A source told The People: "They've had their ups and downs so they're not going to rush into it, but next year they want to cement their feelings for each other with a blessing and renewal of their vows.

"Because of their difficult past together, they are really focussing on being good for each other right now.

"Kerry is already getting excited about another wedding though. She is in such amazing shape and has had liposuction, and is now training and looking after her figure - partially in preparation for the big day."

While the couple were separated, Kerry, 36, filmed the Channel 5 show 'In Therapy', where she claimed she didn't want George back but she has since changed her mind.

The insider explained: "Kerry was in a dark place during filming and really opened up to the therapist. She's tried to explain to George that the sessions helped her realise that she wanted to give her marriage another chance."

George was arrested last year for alleged assault but no further action was taken after Kerry dropped the charges.

And Kerry - who has children Molly, 14, Lilly Sue, 13, Heidi, nine, Maxwell, eight, and Dylan Jorge, two - said: "We're together and we're very happy. All I'm going to say is anyone who is in a marriage, you all have your ups and downs."
