"I said look if you don't want me, you don't love me, I don't want your money, just give me half the money from the house that we sell, and I will sign a piece of paper, just give me my kids. I signed the piece of paper, I got the kids, and he f****d off to Australia."
The host then asked: "But as a dad surely he has got a duty of care?"
Kerry hit out and said: "He was a s**t dad, he was a s**t dad.
