Katona to face custody battle with McFadden

Brian McFadden has vowed to prove that Kerry Katona is an unfit mother - by using evidence from her own TV show.

When Katona and her second husband Mark Croft announced that they would be followed by cameras for MTV series Crazy In Love, they said that the programme would give them the opportunity to "answer some of their harshest critics". However, McFadden reportedly believes that the show could help his case for custody of their two girls, Molly and Lilly-Sue.

A source close to Brian told the News of the World: "Those poor girls need stability because they've lived a rollercoaster ride with Kerry for too long. You only have to look at her show and see the mess she's in. Brian can give them the upbringing they deserve."

McFadden and his fiancée Delta Goodrem have been living in Australia in recent months while they both promote albums there, but their main base is in London.

Brian recently branded Katona "disgusting" and accused her of using their daughters as a "weapon" in their feud.
