A woman has claimed she was dating Paolo, 33, before he went on Celebs Go Dating, which is where he met Kerry, 44.
The new couple went public last week, with fans stunned by the new pairing as their age gap of 10 years was unveiled.
Jessica Smith, 25, has now said that Paolo is her boyfriend, and claims he never told her about going on the hit series.
She claims the father-of-two only went on the show because he wants to further his career.

Jessica said she is a 100% sure that he didn't go on Celebs Go Dating to find love.

She alleges that Paolo told her that he was going to business meetings in London when he was actually filming the reality-dating show.
"Every single thing was an act. I feel like I was completely led the entire time," Jessica told the paper.
Paolo also allegedly told Jessica that he told her he had filmed for a dating show "a long time ago".
"He told me that 'it's nothing to do with love and it's only for the fame'," she recalled him saying.
Kerry Katona's love life timeline
Kerry's first high-profile relationship was with Brian McFadden, who was then a member of the Irish boyband Westlife.
The couple married in 2002 and had two daughters together, Molly and Lilly-Sue, but divorce beckoned just four years later after infidelity claims.
In 2007, Kerry married Mark Croft, a former taxi driver.
Their relationship was tumultuous and marked by financial difficulties and accusations of infidelity.
They had two children together, Heidi and Maxwell, before divorcing in 2011.
Kerry has spoken openly about the difficulties she faced during this period, including struggles with her mental health and substance abuse.
Following this, she entered into a relationship with George Kay, a former professional rugby league player.
They married in 2014 and had a daughter, Dylan-Jorge (DJ). However, their relationship was fraught with issues, including horrifying domestic abuse, and they separated in 2017. Kay died in 2019 after 'biting into a ball of cocaine'.
Kerry later found love again with Ryan Mahoney, a fitness trainer.
The couple became engaged in 2020, and Kerry described Ryan as a stabilising and positive influence in her life.
After increasing speculation late in 2024, Kerry revealed they had split over a "breach in trust" and Ryan had moved out of her home.
He is also alleged to have told her: "I promise you, everyone goes on the show for fame and I'm just doing the same'."
Jessica and Paolo started their relationship after he randomly messaged her on Instagram, with their bond blooming after several dates.
While Paolo was on the dating show, he allegedly sent Jessica, who he told he wanted to marry, loved up messages.
During the filming of the show in April and May, Paolo continued to send Jessica lovey-dovey texts, despite seemingly forming a bond with Kerry.
Jessica said he eventually admitted to filming the programme.
Speaking to the paper, she revealed: "I asked him, do you expect me to sit at home and watch this and still be with you and he replied: 'I hope you will do that but it's completely down to you.'
"I hysterically cried all day at work, everything was a lie."
