She's recently dropped several dress sizes and can't seem to keep a beaming smile off her face.

But while Kerry Katona's transformation has been credited to her fresh start, could her new look be all for the love of a painter and decorator?

The reality TV star is believed to have found love again with Adam Waldron who she allegedly met on Facebook.

Just a couple of months after splitting from husband Mark Croft, the reality TV star is said to have fallen for handyman Adam Waldron, who lives in Warrington, Cheshire with his parents.

And friends of the former pop star, 29, said she is so smitten with Waldron, 33, she has been secretly travelling from her new home in Surrey back to her home town to meet with him.

According to the News of the World, Kerry met Waldron on the social networking site and has been on 'cloud nine' ever since.

The couple are believed to have met face-to-face for the first time for a coffee when Kerry travelled up to Warrington see her mother Sue, 53.

Kerry, who was born and bred in Warrington, recently moved to a £3,500-a-week mansion in Surrey after dumping Croft, 39, after three years of marriage, and signing up with PR guru Claire Powell in an attempt to turn her misfortunes around with a new look and a new career.

And last week, Kerry is said to have made the 200-mile journey to Warrington twice to see Adam, who she is 'absolutely mad' about.

The mother-of-four was seen outside the modest bungalow where Waldron, who owns a small decorating firm, lives with his parents after splitting from a girlfriend.

A friend of Kerry's told the newspaper: 'For the first time in ages she is smiling again. Kerry's on cloud nine and absolutely adores Adam.

'But she can't believe that the minute she moves away from home she finds someone really nice on her own doorstep.

'You can take the girl out of Warrington but you can't take Warrington out of the girl.

'She is extremely vulnerable after dumping Mark. She's using every opportunity to get back up north to be with Adam.'

Waldron is also a far cry from Kerry's ex Croft, a former cabbie who recently admitted squandering away her millions on drugs, alcohol and expensive cars.

Waldron's decorating firm brings in about £500 a week, drives a Ford Transit van and charges £15 an hour for his work.

Outside of work he drives a VW Golf, supports local rugby league team Warrington Wolves and plays golf.

And according to the friend, he has no interest in Kerry's showbiz lifestyle or her money and just wants to be with her.

They added: 'Adam is a good lad, the opposite of Mark. She's told Adam that even if he's with her for the money he's picked the wrong girl because she hasn't got any left.

'Adam just laughed it off and told her to stop being daft.'

Kerry has two daughters - Molly, eight and seven-year-old Lilly-Sue - from her marriage to former Westlife star Brian McFadden, and daughter Heidi, three and son Max, two with Croft.

She recently overcame a long battle with alcohol and drugs and is turning her life around by moving south and losing weight in order to start afresh with a brand new look - and now, it would seem, a brand new man.

The friend added: 'Kerry is a different person now. She's not into drinking or drugs and has only ever met Adam sober.

'She doesn't know if she's ready for a full-on relationship just yet but she is really enjoying spending time with him.'
