Back in 2019, Kerry admitted that cocaine used to be her ‘best friend’ as she candidly spoke about her past drug abuse. She stated that her troubled times are behind her and revealed that she ‘never drinks at home’ with the singer ‘rarely going out’.
Kerry, who has previously revealed she started taking drugs aged 14, has openly spoke about her bipolar disorder and addiction issues in the past.
The star, who checked herself into rehab in 2008 and 2010, told the Mirror: ‘It wasn’t so much that I was an addict, more that I binged. It got to the point I was so lonely, so empty. Cocaine was my best friend. It was always there for me when I was down.
‘When I was feeling worthless it gave me that self love and confidence. But it turned out to be a liar. I’m not tempted to go down that route any more. I don’t even drink at home – I’ve got to do the school run.’

Kerry’s addiction reached a head in 2008, when she made a car crash appearance on This Morning and exposed the full extend of her addiction.
In the interview with Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton, she was seen slurring and appeared out of sorts. During the chat, Phillip asked: ‘If I’m honest you don’t seem right to me. You’re speech is slurred. How are you feeling?’
Kerry, who was married to Mark Croft at the time, replied to Phil: ‘I’m on medication at night time. This is going to be made as a huge publicity thing,’ an Phil added: ‘I am merely pointing out what people are thinking who are watching.’
On the up: Asked previously if she had looked back on the interview in full, she said: ‘No. I’m too embarrassed and ashamed. It’s mortifying. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people around me. I’ve moved away’
Fern, who presented the show at the time, asked about a recent magazine photo shoot. She said: ‘The interview did say you’d only go in the early hours of the morning, you’d had quite a bit to drink…
‘It said you went to get ready with a bottle of champagne. They wanted you to jump in the pool and you were tempted after they said you’d have a shot afterwards.’
Kerry became increasingly disgruntled and began speaking to Mark off-camera.
In 2010, Kerry reflected on the car-crash interview, saying: ‘That wasn’t me back then. I was in a very dark dark place, I was on a lot of heavy medication, I was in a very unhappy marriage, and I was taking drugs.’
Not me: In 2010, Kerry reflected on the car-crash interview, saying: ‘That wasn’t me back then. I was in a very dark dark place, I was on a lot of heavy medication, I was in a very unhappy marriage, and I was taking drugs’
She said that her behaviour was down to her Bipolar medication: ‘I was on 350mg of chlorpromazine, which I took at quarter to twelve the night before, and every morning my speech would be very slur, and it’d wear off in the afternoon.’
Asked previously if she had looked back on the interview in full, she said: ‘No. I’m too embarrassed and ashamed. It’s mortifying. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people around me. I’ve moved away…
‘I wasn’t a good person then. And it’s hard to watch it back, it’s hard, oh my God [to think that] my kids are going to have to watch this when they grow up.’
