She is set to take to the stage at the LGBTQ+ community Pride in Neath Port Talbot on June 1.
It comes as she sparked fears she's going through a break-up with fiancé, Ryan Mahoney.
She said last month that she feels "unsupported" by Ryan - and has moved in with her mum.
Kerry, 43, also confessed that her £2million Cheshire mansion has become too cavernous and she needs a home that is more manageable, day to day.

"I want a house to feel really homely and this one is just so big, I can’t keep on top of it," she said.
"There will be less mess for me to tidy up after the kids in the new house, and it’s still close by for DJ’s school. We need to get a move on and start packing!"
Kerry found fame singing with Atomic Kitten and has never shied away from opening up on the feud with the band.
In 2022 she unleashed a furious war of words against her ex-bandmates, claiming one even blocked her on social media.

TV star Kerry lashed out at both Jenny Frost and Natasha Hamilton as she ranted individually about them at the time.
She expanded on the bitter feud when asked why she thought she was always “the star of the show.”
Kerry appeared on the On A Mission podcast, and replied saying: “I don’t know. I have no idea. It’s like when I’m on stage with Atomic Kitten.
“I think it’s one of the reasons the girls don’t talk to me anymore.
"I remember we was at the MNE Arena 20,000 people and they’re all shouting Kerry, I thought, f****** hell, and that’s why I left AK in the first place.
We did this photoshoot all in these leather catsuits … I picked the paper up opened it and I thought for f*** sake, it was just me. I was devastated.”
Kerry, who first fell out with Liz McClarnon and Natasha in 2001, said how she has "reached out" so many times in the hope that the former girlband can be friends again.
Kerry wrote in her New! magazine column at the time: "When something like this happens it brings home how I feel about my relationship with the Atomic Kitten girls.
"It's really sad that we don't talk. I've reached out to them so many times. Life is too short.
Kerry quit the band in 2001 after falling pregnant with her first child with her then-husband Brian McFadden.
"I remember some of the fight we had in Atomic Kitten back in the day. Once, Liz punched me from behind after we had a little row. I was furious and got my own back," she revealed previously.
"I made her get changed in the toilets at SMTV Live, then I stamped on her feet while we were up on stage singing Whole Again."
Kerry was replaced by Jenny Frost and it was made very clear that the girls were happy with that choice.

Jenny once declared that she would "rather eat her own kidney with a spoon" than work with Kerry.
When the band talked about getting back together for ITV's Big Reunion in 2013, Jenny said: "I don't want to be derogatory about Kerry, but there shouldn't be four of us in Atomic Kitten."
