London, Oct 6 Kerry Katona's ex-cabbie hubby Mark Croft will now be selling cars, it has emerged.

Croft and Katona have lived in extravagance, way beyond their means - the car-crazy Croft indulged himself with a fleet of sports cars - and thrown away almost 3million pounds in four years, but it seems Katona has now persuaded him to do something worthwhile.

Mark, who is a partner in Chapel Walks Garage in Padgate, Cheshire, which has cars priced between 1,000 pounds to 5,000 pounds, is soon expected to take up car dealing.

The Daily Star quoted a family pal as saying: "Kerry has had enough of Mark spongeing off her and has told him to pull his finger out and get a job.

"He has a few lads running it but is on hand to keep an eye on them.

"Mark hopes he will eventually have prestige cars on there and people will flock to the showroom because of who he is." (ANI)
