Katona wants 'Celebrity Big Brother' slot

Kerry Katona and husband Mark Croft want to go on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.

The reality TV star – who has been declared bankrupt and recently lost a £250,000-a-year deal with supermarket chain Iceland after she was videoed allegedly snorting cocaine – is desperate to make money, and thinks appearing on the reality TV show is the perfect answer.

A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “It’s desperate stakes for her and Mark because they’re going through a hell of a bad time.

“Every time the phone rings or a letter drops on the mat, it seems to bring yet more bad news.”

The series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ scheduled for next January is to be the last ever on Channel 4.

Former ‘I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!’ winner Kerry, 29, is said to think taking part in the show would help boost her profile, and Mark win public support.

Following her drug use accusations, Kerry – who raises four children with Mark - has not received any new offers of work.

She was also arrested for allegedly assaulting her accountant, and is facing a custody battle with ex-husband Brian McFadden for their two children.
