She also shared an experience with one of her own kids which she contrasted to that of Penelope McGuinness.
‘Heidi suffers with anxiety’
Kerry wrote: “I don’t think the pandemic had that much of an effect on my children in that sense, but Heidi suffers with anxiety and a lack of self-confidence in general.
“And she has got to a point where she’s spoken like that. She once sat on her bed and told me she didn’t want to be here any more.
It broke my heart and I cried my eyes out.
“It broke my heart and I cried my eyes out. You feel completely helpless.”
