It was 14 years ago today that Kerry Katona said her vows for a second time and married her partner Mark Croft.

Just one year after her divorce from Brian McFadden, the former Atomic Kitten songstress eloped with the ex-taxi driver.

However, their relationship was not set to last with cracks emerging early on after tying the knot.

The couple's marriage survived almost three years but by 2010, the pair had parted ways - with their divorce finalised in 2011.

During their marriage, Kerry and Mark - who are also parents to Heidi and Maxwell - were rocked by reports of drug use and ongoing financial problems.

In 2008, the songstress sensationally declared herself bankrupt, after failing to pay over £86,000 of a tax bill.

Claims by Kerry then emerged in 2009 in which she accused her husband of 'bleeding her dry', amid reports he had also confiscated her mobile phone.

"This has to end. Mark's bled me dry. He won't take another penny of my money," Kerry said of her relationship on her MTV show.

It was also during their relationship, that Kerry made a now notorious appearance on This Morning during which her slurred speech sparked concern among viewers.

Later, it emerged that Kerry was addicted to cocaine and would go on binges with Mark.

"Our relationship was just about coke," she told Fabulous magazine.

"Mostly, we'd have three-day sessions and not eat. I'd play online bingo, look up stories about me to make me feel worse, and watch cartoons.

She added: "I had to stop, I had to get out. If I carried on doing what I was doing, I'd be dead."

In 2010, Kerry walked away from her marriage in an attempt to clean her act up once and for all.

In the years following their split, Kerry has made some dramatic revelations about her romance with Mark.

The television star has since suggested that she was only dating Mark in order to try and get her hands on 'free drugs.'

“My second husband, with him being my mum’s dealer, I only married him because I thought I was going to get the drugs for free," she claimed when opening a rehab facility in 2018.

Mark has always denied supplying her with drugs.

Kerry has now completely turned her life around and is now blissfully smitten with her partner, Ryan Mahoney.

Last summer, the couple announced that they were engaged.

However, the mum-of-five has been vocal in the past about her thoughts on the men that she dated in the past.

Last year, the television star took a savage swipe at ex husbands Brian McFadden, Mark Croft and George Kay.

“I said on YouTube ‘oh I’ve married a few dogs. And this woman went mad: ‘That’s so disrespectful to your kids’," she ranted in a YouTube video.

“****ing disrespectful? My first husband left me for another woman. Doesn’t pay a penny. Only sees his kids twice a year. Dog.

She then continued: “Second one. Doesn’t see his kids. Ripped me off. Doesn’t pay a penny. Dog.

“Third one. May be dead. Beat me up. Blah blah blah. Another dog. So yes I have married a few dogs.”
