LAYABOUT Mark Croft has found another woman’s house to doss down at – just days after being dumped by Kerry Katona.

Mark-ed woman. Croft’s set his sights on Sharon. Barmaid Sharon Thorpe, 30, has been comforting the love- split loser during night-long trysts at her terraced home.

They first met a fortnight ago while Kerry was in Tenerife.

And when the star returned and said she wanted a divorce, Croft turned to single mum-of-two Sharon.

A close source told us: “He loves spending time with her.

“He sees it as an escape from the pressures of home – she’s a shoulder to cry on.

“Sharon thinks Mark is absolutely amazing – he has been round to see her at least four times in the last couple of weeks.”

And her place in Leigh, Lancs, must be a home from home for Croft, 39 – as it’s stocked up with ICELAND groceries.

On Thursday – just before Croft left Kerry’s for good and arrived at Sharon’s for the night – she was seen with bags of goodies from the supermarket Kerry used to do ads for.

Our source said: “Mark has told Sharon his split with Kerry is permanent and there won’t be any last-minute reunion like before.

“As far as he is concerned he is now a single man, and he is behaving like a single man – going out drinking and staying out all night if he wants to.” Meanwhile Kerry, 27, is set to reveal all about their break-up in a Channel 4 documentary for a £50,000 fee. The mum-of- four has been turning her life around in the last few weeks – and went to a GI Jane bootcamp last month.

This month she told Croft to sling his bags when he wrongly accused her of having an affair with fitness instructor Kevin Green.

Then she fled to Tenerife with her youngest daughter Heidi, three, for a few days.

While she was away, Mark – who is being chased for child maintenance for a son with an ex – went out in Leigh with his half-brother James and some pals.

They ended up in the pub where Sharon works and he hit it off with her. And yesterday he was at a Toby Carvery just 10 minutes from her home – having lunch with his two kids with Kerry.

Kerry was seeing her mum in Warrington – minus her wedding ring.

Sharon last night refused to comment about Croft but our source said: “She is definitely looking for a fella.

“She has even signed up to a group on Facebook called ‘I want a good relationship in 2010′.”

If Kerry’s experience is anything to go by, she should keep looking.
