Katona 'calls police over Mark Croft'

Kerry Katona reportedly called the police after her former husband Mark Croft failed to return their daughter.

The couple split up last month but The People reports that Croft refused to bring their 3-year-old daughter Heidi home after a visit.

She has allegedly also claimed that Croft sent her threatening text messages, including one which read: "I want you dead."

A source explained: "Heidi had been at Mark's since Thursday and was due to be returned to Kerry yesterday, but he called and told her she wouldn't be getting Heidi back for a very long time.

"At that point Kerry and [her mother] Sue began to worry and take it all very seriously indeed. She is beside herself, she doesn't know what to do. Mark was being completely unreasonable and got really nasty. Kerry thinks Mark is unhinged and fears he might do something stupid to herself or Heidi."

The insider added: "She was in bits and decided to call the police. She has also contacted her lawyers to stop Mark treating her like this, as well as to get Heidi back. She's prepared to go to court."

Croft refused to comment on the allegations, while Cheshire Police said: "We are not taking press queries until Monday."
