Emily In Paris fans speechless over Lucien Laviscount's Kerry Katona romance

After the most recent series of Emily in Paris was released, fans of the show have been enamoured with Lucien Laviscount.

Some have even gone as far as to delve into his dating history, and discovered he once had a romance with former Atomic Kitten, Kerry Katona. Lucien Laviscount, now 30, joined the cast of Emily in Paris in season two, and quickly stole fans' hearts with his good looks.

The Lancashire-born actor stars as Emily’s love interest Alfie in the show, who continues to be embroiled in a love triangle with her and French heartthrob Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). Before his time in the Netflix hit, he starred on British shows Coronation Street and Waterloo Road, and later went on Celebrity Big Brother, where he met former love interest Kerry, 42, in 2011.

Fans have been sent into a frenzy upon discovering this, OK! reports – especially in the wake of the 30-year-old actor being rumoured to be the next James Bond. One person to bring their relationship to Emily In Paris fans’ attention is TikTok user Olivia Lily Marks, who shared an image of Lucien and Kerry’s OK! Magazine cover.

Speaking alongside the image, she said: “I’m actually speechless. Lucien Laviscount, who plays Alfie in Emily In Paris, dating Kerry Katona. Please tell me I’m not the only person who didn’t know this?” She went on to add: “The fact that she’s rumoured to play the next James Bond… we have our Bond girl.”

In an interview with OK! at the time, the pair said they hoped to “be together forever”. “There was a lot of sexual tension, definitely. If the cameras hadn’t been there, God knows what would have happened,” Kerry went on to say of their time in the Big Brother house together.

Addressing their 12-year age gap, Lucien added: “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.”

People have also gone mad for this revelation on Twitter, with one recalling Lucien’s "love triangle" with Kerry and Amy Childs. They wrote: “Am I the only one who remembers Lucien Laviscount on Celebrity Big Brother and his love triangle with Kerry Katona and Amy Childs?!”

“Can’t get over the fact Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount from #EmilyInParis used to date,” added someone else, as a third wrote: “wait how did I not know that Lucien Laviscount used to date Kerry Katona what the f”.
