This isn't the first time Kerry has spoken out about Heidi's struggles.
Last year she revealed she had to take the teen out of school because of being tormented by bullies.
Kerry drastic action and has enrolled her at the same private school her sister DJ goes too as did their sibling Molly and Lilly.
Writing in new! magazine, Kerry said: "Heidi really struggled at the end of the school year, before summer. She was being bullied.
"We also moved house and she had to say goodbye to a lot of friends. She's 14 and its a tough age. She felt down on life - everything was negative. I felt she'd lost her spark.
"But a week into her new school, she seems so excited. I can see that spark in her face again and I'm so pleased."
