Kerry has been barred. Her name is on the list, but it’s not the list that allows her access to all backstage areas and to mingle with the talent – it’s the list on which are written the names of those not wanted.

As a source tells the paper: “Kerry has not been sent an invitation. Brian and Delta are coming as a couple and they get priority because they are pop stars.”
