Katie Price has urged Kerry Katona to leave her husband.

The reality TV star's marriage to Mark Croft has reportedly reached crisis point after Croft walked out of their £1.2 million home.

Price, who became close friends with Katona during 2004's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, advised her to call time on the relationship and start afresh.

Speaking on The Charlotte Church Show, she said: “I think Mark is absolute s*** for her. She should leave him.

"I just want to give Kerry a big cuddle, take her under my wing and just knock some sense into her. I do feel sorry for her, I really do. She’s not the girl I met in the jungle, she seems really down. She was really happy."

Although the pair have been embroiled in a war of words since Price publicly accused Katona and Croft of taking drugs, the glamour model said she would be happy to provide a shoulder to cry on.

She told Church: "I can’t really judge. I haven’t seen her for years, but I’d love her to come down and just have a nice day with the kids and have some fun as she looks down a lot.”

The Charlotte Church Show airs tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm.
