Kerry Katona takes back husband after cheating claims

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona appears to have forgiven husband Mark Croft following claims he cheated on her with two women.

The troubled singer allowed the cab driver to join her as she returned to their £1.2 million home in Wilmslow, Cheshire yesterday.

The move comes just days after the mother of three kicked him out of their temporary home.

It was the first time Kerry had been to the Cheshire property since armed raiders held her hostage last month.

Reports alleged Croft slept with a former lover in the days following their engagement and also had an affair with a second woman.

The pair, who have been married just six months, have a five-month-old daughter Heidi.

Following the claims, her publicist Max Clifford told The Sun: "She is absolutely devastated. She's been on the phone sobbing. I really feel for her.

"Mark denied the allegations but Kerry's very upset. This must be the worst time of her life."

Mr Clifford added: "She is a tough girl, and I have always said she will conquer her demons.

Meanwhile, Kerry has refused to take a drugs test in the custody battle over her children, according to claims.

The 26-year-old is refusing point blank laywers' requests to be tested in her battle with ex-husband Brian McFadden who is seeking full custody of their daughters Molly, five and four-year-old Lily-Sue.

The ex-Atomic Kitten singer has not seen her two daughters with McFadden for over a month since she was held at knifepoint during a raid at her £1.5 million Cheshire home.

After she and her youngest daughter were held hostage at their home, where thieves stole tens of thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and electrical equipment, Kerry checked into The Priory to seek expert help for the trauma.

She was also being treated for bipolar disorder, a form of manic depression which she has battled for several years.

Kerry, who has been twice named Celebrity Mum of the Year, has admitted to taking cocaine in the past and McFadden's lawyers want her to take a drugs test now to prove she is clean. But the courts cannot force parents to take the test.

McFadden's friend told The News of the World: "Brian thinks her refusal is as clear as any test result."
