Katona husband 'becomes a car dealer'

Kerry Katona's husband Mark Croft has launched a new career as a car dealer, according to a report.

The former cab driver is believed to have purchased a stake in Chapel Walks Garage close to the couple's home in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Croft is currently selling off cars priced between £1,000 and £5,000, but hopes to expand his new business by getting hold of luxury vehicles in the years ahead, the Daily Star claims.

A source said: "Kerry has had enough of Mark sponging off her and has told him to pull his finger out and get a job.

"He has a few lads running it but is on hand to keep an eye on them. Mark hopes he will eventually have prestige cars there and people will flock to the showroom because of who he is."

Katona was declared bankrupt by London's High Court in August 2008. This status is expected to remain for the foreseeable future.
