Katona's husband 'has secret love child'

Kerry Katona's husband Mark Croft has discovered that he has a three-year-old son, reports claim.

An ex-lover told Croft in September that her child could be his, but he denied it and demanded a paternity test.

"They hadn't spoken for years until [his ex] got in touch recently. Kerry was furious until she realised there'd been no cheating and they both went to see this woman a few weeks ago," a source told the News Of The World.

"They instantly realised the boy was definitely his. He's the spitting image and now DNA tests have proved it."

Katona and Croft could now face a large bill in child support payments, despite the singer being declared bankrupt earlier this year.

A friend of Katona insisted that Croft will not snub the child, saying: "Mark is the dad and he will face up to his responsibilities. There’s no question of the [Child Support Agency] getting involved. Mark will come to an amicable arrangement."
