Kerry Katona
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: Warrington, 06 September 2020
The 26-year-old married cab driver Mark, 35, at Gretna Green on Valentine’s Day. The couple met a year ago and he proposed after three weeks.
She had a sizeable bump at the wedding and Clifford said: "The baby was a little early but that wasn’t too much of a surprise. Nobody believed Kerry would go to full term because she was absolutely huge.
"It seems the little one wanted to get out sooner rather than later."
This is the third girl for Kerry and her first with Croft. She already has daughters Molly, five, and Lilly Sue, four, by former husband Brian McFadden.
Kerry also revealed she’d been under stress to OK! magazine.
"Apparently the most stressful things are getting divorced, getting married, moving house and having a baby - and I’m doing all four at once!" she said.
The I’m A Celebrity winner had a false alarm a week ago when she thought her waters had broken.
And she admitted she couldn’t wait until the baby was born.
"It’s been the worst pregnancy ever. It’s made me want to have my tubes tied, get the coil, go on the Pill and get Mark the snip - that’s how much I’ve hated it."
Kerry: Another divorce would kill me - Feb 20 2007
Kerry Katona spent her wedding night apart from husband Mark Croft after a furious bust-up - and is terrified the marriage will end in divorce, she revealed today.
The former Atomic Kitten, who is seven months pregnant, married the cab driver at Gretna Green on Valentine’s Day.
Her divorce from Westlife star Brian McFadden was finalised last year.
Kerry, 26, told OK! magazine: "I’m so scared this time because my divorce has just come through and I keep thinking, ’Is this too quick?’ Or, ’Is he going to leave me?’ I want it to work so badly and I don’t want it to end.
"I hope to God this lasts, another divorce would kill me."
OK! bought the rights to the low-key wedding. It reported Kerry was "riddled with pre-wedding jitters", beset by loneliness and miserable that she had no friends to attend the ceremony.
As the evening wore on, the couple had a quarrel and Kerry demanded Mark sleep in a separate bedroom.
But Mark came down in the morning and told guests: "We’re fine, it was just a few hormones."
The 35-year-old cabbie proposed to I’m A Celebrity winner Katona three weeks after they met last year.
He told the magazine he was looking forward to getting married because "she’ll legally be my bitch".
And he recalled: "I said to her once, ’There’s a pair of pants in the bedroom for you, try them on’. She came out saying they didn’t fit so I said, ’Exactly, I wear the trousers’."
Kerry and Mark tie the knot - Feb 15 2007
Kerry Katona has married her boyfriend Mark Croft in a ceremony at a private chapel near Gretna Green.
The 26-year-old, who is expecting a baby girl at the beginning of April, is currently at home relaxing after the ceremony.
The couple also plan to hold another ceremony and a blessing later this year, and they have also postponed their honeymoon until later this year.
Kerry, who has two daughters from her relationship with former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, began dating 35-year-old Mark in February 2005 - getting engaged just five weeks later.
The loved-up couple had only invited two friends and Mark’s mother to watch them exchange vows at the Forge Chapel at the Mill Hotel, according to The Sun.
"There were security guys with earpieces shielding Kerry with umbrellas," a source told the paper. "You’d have thought they were guarding the Queen."

The band soon made it to the top of the charts but Kerry had met Westlife star Bryan McFadden and fallen in love. In 2001, just two years after the Kittens reached stardom Kerry left the band to start a family with Bryan. They were soon engaged and she gave birth to their first child Molly.
The celebrity couple moved to Ireland and were married in 2002. However, revelations about Bryan’s alleged affair with a lap dancer very nearly ruined everything. In 2003 Kerry and Bryan’s second daughter, Lilly, was born and Kerry really started to throw herself in to presenting with a new job on daytime TV’s Loose Women. She was also offered a trip to Australia for a series of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! She was crowned Queen of the Jungle and husband Bryan was there to meet her on her exit. However just months later the pair announced that they were to split with Kerry taking their children back to England.
Since the split Kerry has had a couple of relationships and numerous highly publicised personal problems, including a battle with drugs and drink. She has recently announced that she is pregnant by her fiance Mark Croft. She and Bryan (or Brian as he now prefers it) are set to meet in court over custody of Lilly and Molly.
