The former Atomic Kitten singer opened up about her life on The Matt Haycox Show.

Kerry said: "I've been on every side of the coin you can think of.

"I went from having nothing to getting my clothes off a car boot sale with my nan.

"Going on the rob with my mum. I remember being nine years of age and it was Christmas, we just got moved from a refuge into a new house and it was Christmas morning and we had no decorations and the people from the refuge knocked on Christmas morning with a bin bag of second hand stuff.

"You know, corned beef, bread. I was eternally grateful.

"Then I became a millionaire overnight, then split up with Brian.

"Then I got the Iceland deal... then I had my own reality show, became a millionaire again."

She then snapped her fingers and continued: "Gone."

Kerry continued: "Lost the lot. Got a little bit back, went back into bankruptcy, become a millionaire again.

"I don't know anybody who has done that.

"I'm a grafted and I work and continue to work my a**e off because of those kids."

She added: "The one thing I've learnt is, money doesn't make you happy, it just gives you options."

Earlier this month Kerry revealed just how much she's earned after overcoming bankruptcy to make a fortune on OnlyFans.

The singer has been in the entertainment industry for 25 years and is reaping the rewards of her savvy business brain after overcoming some tough times.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun to promote the , Kerry said she's earned well over a million pounds.

She said: "Yeah, I’ve made more than that. I can’t put a figure on it. I’m a billionaire!!

"I will give myself credit. I am a grafter, I came from a foster home, went to eight schools, got clothes off, car boot sales, was a lap-dancer, got in a girl band, became face of Iceland, became a millionaire, went bankrupt, lost it all, became a millionaire again and went bankrupt again, then became a millionaire again. Who does it?"

Kerry's OnlyFans earnings have been bolstered by her other businesses, fashion brands Marnie and M Fit.
