Kerry Katona has expressed shock over Brian McFadden's public vow to secure custody of their two daughters, a report claims.

The former Westlife star recently told fans on Twitter that he is hoping to take Molly, 8, and Lilly-Sue, 6, into his care following Katona's cocaine scandal.

According to the Daily Star, Katona "went ballistic" when she read his comments yesterday.

A source said: "Up to now it's just been rumours that Brian's seen solicitors and is planning to launch a custody battle. Now he's confirmed it she knows she has a huge fight on her hands."

McFadden also informed Twitter followers that he is still keen to marry his Australian fiancée Delta Goodrem, despite rumours that they are putting off their wedding.

An insider commented: "Marrying Delta is going to look very good for Brian if this ever gets to the custody courts. The last thing he wants to do is take his children away from their mother but he can't possibly leave them in the environment they're in."
