London, December 7 : Kerry Katona’s mounting cash troubles have reportedly increased after hubby Mark Croft confessed being a father to a three-year-old boy that could make the couple face a huge care taking bill.

The bankrupt singer, who lost out on a 160,000-pound deal to film a fly-on-the-wall series, may have to pay thousands to Mark’s ex-girlfriend with whom he had “casual relationship” before he met the performer.

“This couldn’t have come at a worse time for Kerry and Mark. They’re totally and utterly broke,” News of the World quoted a source as saying.

“As well as back payments they’ll have to cough up every month for the next 15 years. It’s going to be a real stretch for them”

“She was the first to get ready and had to wait ages for the girls, who were having a giggle with each other. Nadine ended up chatting to the dancers to pass the time,” the source added.

In a reference to the way junkies smoke crack, Pete and Amy will sing ‘I’m pipin’ almost every night; I watch my dreams float by . . . out of sight’.
