Whilst she was married to Mark Croft, Kerry frequently used cocaine and even went as far as to say that their relationship was “about coke”.
Now the former Atomic Kitten singer is set to repair the damages it’s caused with surgery underway to fix her broken nose caused by frequent cocaine use.
Kerry’s surgery will involve the removal of a section of her rib to correct her nose. Doctors have informed her that without this procedure, her nose could collapse.
In her column with OK!, Kerry wrote: “I’m waiting for a date from Pall Mall for the reconstructive surgery I need for my nose, due to past cocaine abuse.
“They’re going to use a piece of bone from my rib to repair it. Hopefully, that will be any day now.
Kerry added: “My past will always come up, but I wouldn’t change it, as it made me who I am today.”
“It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up. The only thing is I’m always sniffing, my kids joke they can hear me in a shop before they see me!
“I’m not ashamed of my past, but I do regret the embarrassment it’s caused my kids.”
Last year, Kerry was asked by her doctor if she’d had a nose job to which she said “no”. That’s when she was informed that her nose was collapsing.
She took to social media to explain the story and said: “I was like ‘oh my god’, so I have damaged my nose from doing drugs, I did get offered it to get fixed years ago and I said ‘no, I don’t want it fixed’ because for me it was a reminder never to touch it again.

“And he said ‘Would you like us to fix it for you?’ and I started crying because it’s like a massive 360 to where I was to where I am now and I think, wow, wow, wow, wow, yes okay I’ll get it fixed.”
The star added: “So obviously I don’t do drugs any more, I’ve turned my life round and I’m very very proud of myself. We all make mistakes, you know, and I think this is a reward just to me to get it fixed, but I’m scared.”
