Kerry Katona's Mother-in-Law: 'She'll Fall to Pieces if Mark Leaves Her'

Kerry Katona's mother-in-law says the former singer will fall to pieces if husband Mark Croft leaves her.

Following allegations that Mark had been chatting up girls on a night out in Liverpool, his mother, Marilyn, has said Kerry will do anything to keep her man because she can�t face another divorce.

"She�s paranoid that he�ll leave her for another woman. Kerry doesn�t want another failed marriage like she has with Brian," Marilyn says."It�s clear she�s still obsessed with him.

"She always used to mention his name in front of me and Mark. I thought at the time she shouldn�t do that.

"Although she pines for Brian, she knows he�s never going to have her back. He even told Kerry�s mum that she forced him to turn to drink with her behavior.�

And Marilyn says, despite the couple's luxurious lifestyle, they are both miserable. She adds to Britain's Closer magazine, "Mark has all the mod cons and fast cars, but they�re bored out of their brains because they never go out. They�re like prisoners in their mansion. Kerry spends days in bed with the curtains drawn. It�s not normal.

"Mark plays all day on his PlayStation while Kerry occasionally checks the internet to see what people are writing about her."

Marilyn also claims Kerry, 27, struggles to cope with looking after her four children. She adds, "Mark and Kerry hardly ever see their kids � it�s the nanny who brings them up. As soon as the girls come in from school they�re up in their rooms and that�s not right.

"She�s driven everyone around her away by constantly acting like Queen Bee.

"Kerry refuses to listen to people � she thinks everyone is just after her money. She�s in her own little world.�

Fearing Kerry will never give up drinking and smoking, Marilyn said, "I hope she doesn�t turn out like Amy Winehouse."
