COKEHEAD Kerry Katona and hubby Mark Croft were at each other’s throats last night after she accused him of setting up the video of her snorting drugs.

First, fallen TV star Kerry branded Mark a PSYCHO and a TRAITOR for betraying her over the damning footage, revealed by the News of the World

Then Mark hit back, DENYING her claims – while secretly plotting a £100,000 paparazzi picture deal to finance his exit from the doomed marriage.

He told a friend: “I can’t be a**ed with all this s***! I just want to buy a house somewhere and be on my own.”

In a heart-to-heart with HER pals this week sacked Iceland ad queen Kerry sobbed: “Mark’s my best friend and he’s betrayed me. That’s the biggest f***ing sick thing he could do. And this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through.”

Despite taking £40,000 from a newspaper for vowing to quit drugs, addict Kerry BEGGED her friends for coke as she tearfully tore into Mark, 39, claiming he:

PLANTED a camera in their bathroom to record bombshell evidence of her sniffing cocaine.
STASHED the drug all over the family home they shared with their four children.
STOPPED her going into rehab even after she’d revelled in nightly cocaine sessions at a get-fit boot camp.
LUSTED after kinky three-in-a-bed sex.
ATTEMPTED to snatch control of her finances.

At the emotion-charged meeting in Manchester Airport’s Premier Inn hotel on Monday, Kerry admitted to pals the time had come for her to DUMP Mark after three years together.

It was three weeks ago the News of the World revealed the shock video of the former Atomic Kitten star sniffing in the ensuite of her house in Wilmslow, Cheshire. She has since been cautioned by police and faces a social services probe into whether she is a fit parent.

In tears Kerry, 29 today, blamed Mark for bugging the bathroom and orchestrating the torment. “This is betrayal by my husband,” she told her friends.

I know he’s done it. I know it’s him. I’m now wary of my own husband. All I had was my Marky, he was the only one there, he was the one I was trusting. Now I don’t know who to trust, he was my best friend.” Kerry insisted she still loves Mark but is FRIGHTENED of him.

She revealed how he reminds her of maniac villain Dave Wheat who once lived with her mum Sue, stabbed her and did time for an attempted murder.

And distraught Kerry claimed Mark craved group sex. She said: “I’m a bitch to him, I have him running around like a blue a*** fly, but I’ve always had this feeling about Mark. . . you know, the threesome and all that kind of s***. It’s like he gets off on it.

“That’s psychotic – and that’s why I’m scared. I know he won’t let anybody else have me. I’ve lived with a f***ing psychotic when my mum was with Dave Wheat. To do something like that is seriously wrong.”

Kerry cried uncontrollably as she realised her two-year marriage was finished. “If it’s over, it’s HIS loss,” she said. “It hurts to my f***ing bones. The kids will be so cut up.”

But then Kerry turned to more selfish matters and demanded cocaine from her pals. The former I’m A Celebrity TV jungle queen has told lie after lie about her drug-taking.

In her autobiography she said she briefly took cocaine after her first hubby, Westlife star Brian McFadden, ditched her, insisting she’d been clean since then.

After our undeniable video proof of her coke-snorting she banked £40,000 for pledging in a newspaper she would NEVER take drugs again.

That vow was driven by terror of losing her children – Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six, by Brian, and Heidi, two, and one-year-old Max, by Mark.

But on Monday she pleaded with one of her friends: “Give us a line!” When the pal said there was no cocaine Kerry started shaking and whined: “You SAID you were bringing some.”

She then revealed the true extent of her habit and admitted she took the drug DAILY when she was at weight loss boot camp two months ago in Snettisham, Norfolk. “We were doing it every night, off our heads and down the pub,” she confessed.

In a desperate bid to deflect attention from her own drug problems Kerry turned the spotlight on Mark and oddly claimed: “It wasn’t ME taking them, that’s what HE’S like. Everyone thinks it’s me, but HE hides it around the house and everything.”

Kerry admitted it took FIVE DAYS to pluck up the courage to watch our website video of her sniffing cocaine. And she agreed that she now needs a lengthy spell in rehab.

She said her nanny Gemma had arranged for her to go back to the Cottonwood clinic in Arizona, where she has found help before for her problems, but Mark stopped her taking the six-week £32,000 trip.

She said: “I told him I needed to get away but he didn’t want me to go because we haven’t got any money.”

Bankrupt Kerry then claimed that after the scandal sparked by our video exclusive Mark had tried to get her to hand over all her finances to him and put everything in his name.

“But I wouldn’t do that,” she said. “I’m not that stupid. I hate money. It makes people evil. I’m a human being, I have feelings, I have kids, I love them.” And Kerry is determined her children will NOT be taken away from her. “Why would I lose my kids,?” she said. “Because I’ve been caught on camera doing coke?

“I’ve done NOTHING wrong in my parenting skills. I’m not the only mum who does drugs, I love my kids. . . so f*** the lot of yous!”

Meanwhile Mark was also sounding off, angrily DENYING he had anything to do with the bathroom video.

“Kerry accused me but I wasn’t even there,” he told a friend.

“If it’s a pen camera the longest it records for is 1½ hours. Well, I left the house at half nine in the morning and she didn’t get filmed until five in the afternoon. How the f*** did I have that camera on for eight hours? I said to her ‘How did I know where you was going to sniff?’ ” Now fed-up Mark wants out – and is plotting to grab a fortune by setting up staged pictures of the couple’s split for paparazzi snappers.

He told the friend: “Everything is f***ed, the marriage, everything. People are feeding Kerry with lies and she’s believing them.

“If I can get £100,000 worth of set-up pictures out of her I can put £50,000 down on a place of my own. Then I won’t come after the house, I won’t come after the kids, I won’t come after anything at all.

“I’m sick of walking on eggshells all the time because of Kerry’s temper. I’ve just got to look after myself now.”
