Kerry Katona marriage strife continues
Kerry Katona rekindled her relationship with husband Mark Croft over the weekend - only for a Sunday tabloid to print pictures of him with another woman on holiday. The former Atomic Kitten star - who split from Mark from the third time two weeks ago - reportedly went on a reconciliation trip to the Lake District at the weekend and were pictured in the Daily Mirror looking happy together on a walk with two-year-old daughter Heidi. But on Sunday, pictures emerged of Mark, 39, with lapdancer Claire Bassett while on a recent romantic getaway to Magaluf with Kerry. A source said: "They are not back together but the weekend in the Lake District was a reconciliation, of sorts. Now this has happened." The couple's latest split was allegedly triggered when Kerry discovered a text on Mark's phone from a friend he had met while he and the former Atomic Kitten singer were in Majorca last month. She then reportedly received a letter from Mark's lawyers last Thursday, which claimed he 'cannot reasonably be expected to live with her'. Kerry, 28, has an 11-month-old son Max with Mark and is also mother to Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six - from her marriage to ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden.
