Katona's husband 'to be a magician'

Kerry Katona's estranged husband Mark Croft has reportedly decided to launch a new career as a magician.

The former cab driver is said to have used auction website eBay to stock up on supplies for his new ambition.

A source told the Daily Star: "It's sad really. Only last week Mark was busy telling the world how much he had enjoyed spending Kerry's £6 million fortune. He spent years with her, blowing hundreds of thousands of pounds on flash cars.

"But now he's spending his days buying magic sets on eBay so that he can try to make some money as a magician. His pals reckon he will use his split with Kerry to start a new career in entertainment.

"He always was a bit of a showman. He's going to have to find a new way to make a living now he's without Kerry and all her cash."

Croft was dumped by Katona last month after he accused her of being unfaithful.
