Former husband of Kerry Katona and father to two of the troubled star's children, Brian McFadden will fly back to the UK to care for his girls it is believed.

McFadden, who was married to Katona for three years from 2004, is allegedly “fuming” having heard about Katona's cocaine exposure and, reports claim, is seeking custody.

The Sun reports that a source speaking to a newspaper in Australia said that, “Nothing has happened yet - it will all depend on what happens when he gets there."

Katona is currently holidaying in Tenerife and reported to be delaying her return to the UK due to fears regarding social services and the status of her children arising from the footage of her taking cocaine.

McFadden, 29, is currently engaged to Australian former Neighbours actress and singer Delta Goodrem.
