Heidi Elizabeth

Kerry Katona gave birth to a baby girl today. The former Atomic Kitten and new husband Mark Croft have named her Heidi Elizabeth.

She was born at Warrington General Hospital at 1pm weighing 5lbs.
The baby was four weeks' premature and delivered by Caesarean section.

"Mother and baby are doing fine," said Katona's spokesman Max Clifford.

Katona, 26, married cab driver Croft, 35, at Gretna Green on Valentine's Day.
She had a sizeable bump at the wedding and Clifford said: "The baby was a little early but that wasn't too much of a surprise. Nobody believed Kerry would go to full term because she was absolutely huge.

"It seems the little one wanted to get out sooner rather than later."

This is the third girl for Katona and her first with Croft.
She already has daughters Molly, five, and Lilly Sue, four, by former husband Brian McFadden.
Katona and Croft met a year ago and he proposed after three weeks.
Their baby arrived on the day the couple's wedding is featured in OK! magazine.
Katona, whose divorce from former Westlife star McFadden recently came through, said she was under stress.

"Apparently the most stressful things are getting divorced, getting married, moving house and having a baby - and I'm doing all four at once!" she said.

The I'm A Celebrity winner had a false alarm two days before the wedding when she thought her waters had broken.
And she admitted she couldn't wait until the baby was born.

"It's been the worst pregnancy ever. It's made me want to have my tubes tied, get the coil, go on the Pill, get the injection and get Mark the snip - that's how much I've hated it," she said.
