Showing fans the extensive bruises on her mum’s arms, Sue told the camera: ‘I am not well. I have got a temperature, look at my arm. I’m sick of it.’

Kerry then asked her: ‘What did the say would have happened to you if I hadn’t have brought you?’

The former I’m A Celeb star has always been candid about life with her mother and previously opened up about her difficult childhood.

She previously revealed her earliest memory is watching her embattled mother Sue slit her wrists when the star was just three.

Kerry spoke to New Magazine about the trauma of living with her mum, who was manic-depressive, having spoken exhaustively in the past about her chequered upbringing and struggles.

She said: ‘My earliest memory is watching my mum slit her wrists. I was three. She was manic-depressive and self-harmed until I was 15. That’s just the way my life is. I’ve come so far from being a foster kid growing up in a council house.’

The mother-of-five went on to say that she was subsequently put in a foster home following the terrifying ordeal, which occurred when she was just 13.

Kerry also discussed her mum Sue who had a ‘terrible childhood’ and issues with drugs and her mental health, adding: ‘She didn’t really know how to be a mum’.

Having now looked back on her mother’s self-harming and troubles, Kerry confessed she does not have any regrets and is happy with her life now.
