FALLEN pop star Kerry Katona's marriage is such a car crash viewers will never even see most of the scenes filmed for her fly-on-the wall TV series. The camera team discovered her vile husband Mark Croft only wants her for her MONEY and regularly CHEATS on her. He has sex with Iceland ad star Kerry when she is ASLEEP and frequently calls her disgusting names. Meanwhile Kerry, 27, is so depressed she cannot even drag herself out of BED some days. And she smokes and drinks HEAVILY despite being six months pregnant with her fourth child. A production source on the couple's reality series Crazy In Love, which starts tonight, said: "It's all an act when Kerry says how happy she is. After seeing them all day for weeks I think the marriage is pathetic." The revelations pour cold water on ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry's boasts that her relationship with ex-drug dealer Croft, 36, is wonderful. Just last Tuesday she told Channel 4's Richard & Judy: "I have been in the best place since I've been with Mark." But the MTV camera crew discovered ex-cocaine addict Kerry is so paranoid Mark is having an affair that she answers his mobile phone all the time. These scenes have been cut from the series. Also dropped are shots of suspicious white powder on the couple's bedside table-despite Kerry saying she is off drugs. The clips of her smoking while heavily pregnant are edited out too. The TV insider said: "Kerry has got Mark's mobile. She's become convinced he's having an affair. "Kerry knows he has been unfaithful to her but she sticks with him. "He looks after her and she's looking to him for something-the type of thing you look to your parents for. It's not a normal relationship." Last August it was revealed Croft had cheated on Kerry with a barmaid while she was pregnant with their daughter Heidi, who is now one. And there have been other claims of affairs. On holiday in Madeira last month he lied to Kerry about where he was, claiming he was with the TV crew members when he was out on his own. The source said: "Mark had a night in the casino and told Kerry he was with the crew. But he wasn't. "Nobody knows who he was with, and it's not clear what he was doing." The source went on: "Mark elevates his importance. The crew tell him, 'It could be any bloke stood next to Kerry. Nobody's interested in you.' "But he says, 'We get £40,000 for a shoot and I get my £20,000 out of that.' He has no idea." In the first two episodes-shown back to back from 10pm on MTV One -Mark has a go at Kerry for not spending enough on his Christmas gifts. Kerry, who we revealed last week is on the verge of bankruptcy, tells him: "You're only getting a couple of things under the tree because I just spent £14,000 on a bike...we can't afford to spend much." Croft snaps back: "That's fine, you just make it about money as usual. Ratty little cow. You tramp. Kiss my ass!" In Crazy In Love, Kerry confesses to serious money woes. But bizarrely she also denies our report, ranting and swearing furiously while reading the News of the World. The crew also saw white powder next to Mark's side of their bed two weeks ago. The source said: "We believe Mark is still on drugs and it's likely Kerry is too. It seems clear to us there is something going on." In the MTV series Kerry and Mark even joke about taking cocaine. After reading our exclusive about Kerry's tax problems-in which we call her a "coke-snorting telly ad star"-Mark asks: "Fancy a line?" Kerry replies: "All right, should we have one?" But there is not a shred of doubt over her failure to give up cigarettes and alcohol while pregnant. The source said: "She's still on 20 a day. "In the early days the official word from Max Clifford was that Kerry had one cigarette a day to calm her nerves. "But all the time she would say, 'You have to turn the cameras off, I need to have a smoke.' I think it's appalling. "When they were in Madeira the waiter brought over an alcoholic fruit punch and Kerry screeched, 'I can't drink that.' "But Mark said, 'Why don't you sip it?' She then downed it in one. "We've got footage of her sitting on the balcony of her room later drinking from a huge pint of lager. "She also downed a massive glass of white wine in her dressing room before she went on BBC1's Jonathan Ross show last December. "Kerry says all the time, 'Oh I can't drink.' Then she goes off and does it. There's no logic to it." In Crazy In Love there is footage of her slugging the wine before she goes on air and tells Ross she is fine and off drugs. Worried Max Clifford is seen accompanying her to the BBC studio-and tells her: "I just think someone's got to keep an eye on you in those situations." Also in the MTV series Kerry is seen ranting and raving after reading our exclusive story headlined "Drunken slapper"-when Mark's mum Marilyn, 59, accused her of being drunk and violent on New Year's Eve. Our source said he was not surprised by Kerry's moodiness. He explained: "Her diet is appalling. She eats beef curry and chips every day of the week. She constantly drinks Coca-Cola. She never eats fruit or vegetables. "It's no wonder she's in such a mood, when you add that diet with the drinking and the smoking." Kerry, who has two daughters with her pop star ex-husband Brian McFadden, is getting £150,000 for 16 episodes of the reality series. Hideous It works out at nearly £10,000 a week for letting the crew be with her for three or four days. But she put filming in jeopardy by refusing to get out of bed at her £1.2million mansion in Warrington, Cheshire. Max Clifford was called in for an emergency meeting with producers because Kerry was not co-operating. TV viewers will not see Max's comments-but they will see Kerry admitting she has finally traced her real dad. But he is not interested in a relationship with his daughter because he has another family. Kerry, who grew up in foster homes, says: "It would be quite nice for him to come forward and say, 'Hi, I want to know you.' "But I understand that he's married and I wouldn't want to open up that can of worms and be blamed again...for being born." Viewers will also see Mark bragging he has sex with Kerry while she is fast asleep. She often sleeps for 12 hours at a time because of the drugs she is on for her bipolar disorder- also called manic depression. The source said: "Kerry just kind of laughs about what Mark says. She just lets it go by. But to me it was the most disturbing thing I've heard. "In one scene we've edited, Mark and Kerry are talking to some people in the back garden. "Mark says, 'We was having a bit last night. I asked her this morning if it was any good.' "Then Kerry jumps in and says, 'No, I was asleep.'" The source went on: "MTV loves it when Mark talks of disgusting things, which is lucky because all that comes out of his mouth are words like t*ts, ass and sex. Sniping "He talks about sex with Kerry in very graphic ways. Everything is about feeling her t*ts and slapping her a***. Virtually everything he says to her when they're together has a sexual innuendo to it. "She'll often say, 'I just want a cuddle.' But then Mark will start to fondle her t*ts." On Crazy In Love, unflattering footage is shown of Kerry squawking in her underwear in a photoshoot. Elsewhere Mark tells her: "You have big t*ts but they've gone south at the moment, haven't they?" At some points Kerry gives as good as she gets, especially when talking about Mark's manhood. She says, referring to the boy she is pregnant with: "It will be weird having a little willy to clean. But mind you I've got Mark's. "I get it confused with his belly button sometimes-it's that small." And during filming Kerry gets increasingly disturbed. The source said: "She's forever not taking her medication, and she doesn't see her doctor every week like she's supposed to. "Kerry went on ITV1's This Morning and spoke about coming to London every Monday to see her psychiatrist at The Priory. "We've been with her since November and she has never been to London on a Monday. There are days she doesn't want to get out of bed. "We then have to follow Mark who, to be honest, is one of the most vile people on the planet." In the first two episodes of the series Croft says about Kerry: "She's a bitch. It's bitch day today. Bipolar!" On another occasion he says: "She's like a bad fart, she lingers but she does go away." Sadly for Kerry though, she always comes back again to him... "Crazy in Love" is currently showing on MTV One on Sunday nights Source: News of the world |
