People hate me - but I love being famous, says Kerry Katona

So desperate is she to alter her image, that Kerry and 36-year-old husband Marc Croft have started filming their own reality show which begins airing in February.

The 27-year-old celebrity claims that she feels constantly victimised by the public but admits she enjoys the attention it generates.

Katona was voted the UK's worst celeb mother this year in an online survey following a string of public allegations including drug abuse and adultery.

Heavily criticised for smoking throughout all her pregnancies, there were also reports the star had taken cocaine on several occasions.

Katona's close friend Leighton Ogden kept a diary in which he claims he'd shared wild cocaine binges with her and indulged in a sex act behind their local Tesco in 2006.

Katona denies the claims, including that she snorted cocaine while pregnant with her youngest daughter Heidi.

The pregnant mother-of-three admits she finds it hard to cope with the negative press she has received but wouldn't be able to pay the bills without being in the spotlight.

The couple already live with their four girls, Molly, six, Lilly-Sue, four,( from Kerry's marriage to ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden), and Mark's daughter Keely, six.

Kerry told Closer: " I want people to like me, thats all.

"It's all made me lose my confidence. I do feel victimised.

"At least it keeps me in the public eye.

"It's horrible, because I know I'm a good mum. I haven't done anything to deserve being called a bad mum."

Since husband Marc quit his job as a cab driver, the couple have been relying on Kerry's income from her Iceland Supermarket ad campaign and photo shoots to support their family.

Croft has now become her unofficial PA and driver, enjoying the perks of being a man-of-leisure including owning several flash cars such as a Ferrari and a Mercedes, admitting that being in the public eye is important.

Mark says: "If you're busy, the bills are being paid. It's as simple as that.

"(Kerry) has locked herself in the bathroom and refused to come out after some of those stories. I guess it's different for me, I don't have a career to ruin."

As well as Katona's popularity plumetting this year, the celeb was also burgled at her Cheshire home where husband Marc was held with a knife to his throat while burglars stole over £150,000 worth of goods.

The robbery prompted the couple to spend thousands of pounds on a state-of-the art security system including two highly trained German Shepherd dogs.

The roller coaster year has done nothing to improve Katona's bi-polar disorder which has made her hard to live with at times.

Mark says: "She has up and down days. On a downer, she gets snappy, so it's best if she isolates herself. When she's on an upper, she can get a bit giddy. It's hard work."

Despite her mood swings, Katona maintains Mark is the love of her life.

"He looks after me. I can't do anything without Mark."

Now four months pregnant, Katona has found it hard to keep the weight off, admitting that smoking isn't her only addiction as she has been living on a diet of take-aways.

"Beef curry chips and pizza is about all i can stomach at the moment, so we have take-away every night."

Katona has already put on 2st since getting pregnant, now weighing 11st, while her boobs have grown to a massive size G.

"They're just ridiculous now", she says.

"Even Mark thinks they're too big."
