Atomic Kitten's planned comeback may be delayed due to a feud between ex-members Jenny Frost and Kerry Katona.The girl group announced last month that they will reform for a series of gigs this summer, possibly including The Queen's Jubilee concert in June.

However, Frost has refused to join Natasha Hamilton and Liz McClarnon if Katona also joins the trio, reports The Sun.
Hamilton had previously hinted that Katona could form some part of their reunion plans.
Frost replaced Katona in the group in 2001 after Katona fell pregnant, and just before they experienced their first big success with 'Whole Again'.
Manager Martin O'Shea is said to be trying to work out a compromise deal.

"The claws are really out. Jenny is furious the reunion seems to be all about Kerry," a source said.
Kerry Katona recently said that it would be "good fun" to tour with Atomic Kitten later this year.
Atomic Kitten were originally rumoured as this year's UK entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest, before Engelbert Humperdinck emerged as the chosen artist.
Jenny Frost was recently replaced by Ellie Taylor as host of BBC Three's Snog, Marry, Avoid?.

Team Frost all the way.
Before Frost, AK was a bunch of chavs. When Frost joined, they all became sexy and sassy and classy young ladies.
To be fair, I don't think they should reform at all. Just cos it seems to have worked out for TT and Steps, doesn't mean it will for all other 90's/00's bands. Boyzone anyone? :-)

Their real success came after Katona left. As someone said earlier, if you left something, then it took off, then wanted back in, I'd say TOUGH! Atomic Kitten was/is better without Katona :0)

Their best songs were with Katona, Frost can't even speak in tune on the redo of Whole Again! Bring back Kerry!

Katona always wants attention. AK was good after she left, lets keep it that way.

Liam Twist So if you quit your job, which is what Kerry did, you should just be able to say oh something interesting is happening, I want it back now.

Actually she left because she was pregnant... It wasn't a choice she chose because she didn't want any part of it of the group anymore. It was likely she was forced out originally for being pregnant.
