Kerry Katona fought with her mother-in-law Marilyn Croft at a New Year's Eve party at her new £1.2 million home.

She had organised the bash to bring together all her family, but ended up rowing and scuffling with Croft.

The I'm A Celebrity... winner ended up asking Croft to leave the party.

A source told the Mirror: "Kerry hadn't spoken to her husband Mark's mum for ages and it's fair to say that the atmosphere between them isn't the best.

"And things got worse as the evening went on and before long they were having words.

"Marilyn began shouting at her, saying, 'Who do you think you are?' Kerry was having a go back and then a scuffle broke out."

Katona's spokesman Max Clifford commented: "Mark's mum started arguing with her family and all Kerry tried to do was stop and defuse the situation.

"She then started on Kerry who said that if she feels that way about her, she should leave the house."

The events were reportedly filmed by MTV, which is currently shooting a documentary about Katona's celebrity lifestyle.
