- Katie Hopkins met Mark Cross while he was still with his first wife Ruth
- The couple married in 2010 and have one child together
- She says he is the nicest man in the world and her total opposite
Katie Hopkins installs fear in the hearts of millions – the acid-tongued star even turned the original ice queen Katie Price into a meek woman on the current series of Celebrity Big Brother, despite the glamour model insisting there would be fireworks between them.
But there is ONE person in this world who can control the notoriously outspoken star – her husband Marl Cross – a design manager so quiet and kind that he is known to friends and family as ‘Lovely Mark’.
In an interview with FEMAIL, Katie reveals that while she refuses to listen to anyone, even her own children, she bows down to her 50-year-old husband in every argument.

Katie Hopkins met Mark Cross (pictured) while he was still with his first wife Ruth. The couple married in 2010 and have one child together. She says he is the nicest man in the world and her total opposite.
She said: ‘He is probably the only person on the planet that can control me, weirdly, because whatever he says is going to be right and there is no escaping that.
‘If he was an a***hole you could just ignore it but he's not.’
The couple met in 2006 while working at the Met Office together and first got together in 2007, shortly after Katie had appeared on BBC1 show The Apprentice.
At the time, Katie was newly-divorced from her first husband Damian McKinney and Mark was still in a seven-year marriage with his first wife Ruth.
The romance came to light after the couple were caught having sex in a field and the pictures were splashed across the pages of a national tabloid the next day.

Katie first became a household name after appearing on the Apprentice in 2007. She had a fling with one of the other contestants Paul Callaghan but he dumped her after finding out about her affair with Mark
Unsurprisingly, Mark’s first marriage failed to survive the indiscretion and he split from Ruth soon after.
He and Katie then started dating and he soon moved into the Exeter home she shared with her two children from her first marriage, India and Poppy.
Then in 2008, their son Max, now six, was born.
Two years later, the pair married in a barn on an episode of Celebrity Four Weddings, alongside Lizzie Cundy, comic Francine Lewis and ex-popstar David Van Day.
In a recent documentary that saw Katie gain and lose several stone in six months, her husband Mark was often seen comforting his wife at her lowest ebb, as she tearfully talked to him in a baby voice.
It was a startling change to the TV personality, who mainly appears on camera delivering nasty put-downs to her opponents with a steely glare.
