Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount met in the Big Brother house in 2011 and as the pair started a romance it sadly didn’t last long. Now Emily in Paris fans are shocked over the age gap of the pair.

Fans of Emily in Paris will be familiar with Alfie, played by Lucien Laviscount – but people have been left stunned over the actor’s age gap with former flame Kerry Katona.

Kerry and Lucien met while in the Big Brother house in 2011 and dated for a short stint but fans have been left shocked after finding out about their age gap. After gracing our screens on Emily in Paris, people have been googling the hunk and remembered about his former flame after the couple were filmed smooching on our screens in the house multiple times.

In an interview after their time in the Big Brother pad, where Lucien came fifth and Kerry was the runner-up behind Paddy Doherty, the pair looked cosy on the front cover of OK! Magazine during their romance with the tagline: “We hope we’ll be together forever.” During their interview, they spoke about their age gap with Lucien being 19, and the mother-of-three being 31 at the time.

Lucien admitted he had a “thing for older women” and said: “She’s not too old for me! I like women who know where they’re at. It’s so frustrating to hear Kerry talk like that because she’s amazing. When I’m with her, I don’t feel like there’s an age gap at all.” Kerry also shared details about their romance and said: “There was a lot of sexual tension, definitely. If the cameras hadn’t been there, God knows what would have happened.” But their fairytale romance came to an end just months later and reports claim the pair weren’t ever actually romantically involved.

Kerry writing in her OK! Magazine column: “Actor Lucien Laviscount and Shakira have started dating rumours after he starred in her new music video. There were also a few headlines in the press referring to him as my ex I bet he’s not happy about that!… Lucien was very charming when I met him in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2011 and we had a good time, but he was never officially my boyfriend…” And added: “Lucien has come far and he’s done really well for himself, it makes me laugh that my name has been mentioned!”

Fans of Emily In Paris were baffled over the revelation, and many shared their thoughts online. One X user wrote: “Wait how did I not know that Lucien Laviscount used to date Kerry Katona what the..” And another chimed: “Found out that Kerry Katona dated Lucien Laviscount (Alfie from Emily in Paris) years ago and now my mind is blown.”
