In September it was reported that Ampika had got engaged to businessman David after he reportedly proposed to the former reality star on her 40th birthday last July after splitting with his partner of 25 years Emma Benton-Hughes. David, who made his money in the adult entertainment industry, ran Birmingham City before he, joint chairman David Gold and vice-chairman Baroness Karren Brady took over West Ham in 2010. He launched the Daily Sport newspaper in 1991 before selling it for £45million and is one of Britain's richest men.

Ampika runs an aesthetics and cosmetics training academy Ampika's Aesthetics, based in Hale, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol and London's Harley Street. She starred in five seasons of the ITVBe reality series Real Housewives Of Cheshire, which follows the lives of glam and wealthy ladies living in Cheshire, and was one of the original cast line-up from 2015.

She went public with their relationship on her Instagram Stories as the loved-up couple watched a performance by singer JP Cooper. In June Ampika shared a photo of the pair enjoying a romantic dinner in Marbella as she told how much her man means to her.

"Living my best life with someone very special, David. You have picked me up this week and it’s thanks to you I have a smile on my face. Thank you to all the LOVERS," she wrote.

And in May she shared a montage of pictures of the pair as she spoke of their 'magical' relationship and urged her followers to never give up searching for the right person. "When you 'pick and click' with the right person life can become magical," she typed.

"If you have someone amazing in your world you're very lucky. Maybe you're happy just being and doing you which is fantastic too. "For those still searching NEVER give up the right person to be magnetised to all your beauty inside and out maybe just around the corner. Biggest love to all my fantastic followers."

Yesterday Kerry shared a video clip on Instagram of the couples enjoyinh a day out at the London Stadium as they watched West Ham play their first match of the Premier League season against Manchester City. Kerry shared a clip of the couples at the football on her Instagram and wrote: "What a great day @WestHam."

Last year Kerry and Ampika were delighted to have made up following a fall-out. Ampika said how much she had missed her pal as she posted a snap of the pair sharing a friendly kiss on her Instagram and expressed how a 'good friendship can never be broken.' "Missed you so much and your beautiful children……. No words only 1 ……. L.O.V.E," she penned.

And she added: "A good friendship can NEVER be broken . So please make up with someone important…. Life’s toooooooo short." And Kerry posted snaps of the glam friends out together for a meal with the words: "@ampikapickston1 missed you!! Soooooooo much."

Writing in her New! column Kerry said: "I'm back in touch with my friend Ampika Pickston, who was in The Real Housewives of Cheshire, which has been an absolute blessing.

"We had a brief fallout but it wasnt anything serious. Everyone falls out over silly things. Life is way too short so I decided to get in contact with her. Meeting up with her made me realise how much I missed her."
