"I don't know if we'll be able to work it out or not, but I do still love him so much. I feel like everything has heaped on recently and it's so much to deal with, I am really struggling. But I know I can get through it no matter what happens, I've been through break-ups before and come out the other side, so we just need to see what happens."

Kerry has opened up following her post that left fans startled when she claimed to be "single", which she swiftly clarified as a prank to amuse her mother. In her column last week, she addressed the confusion, sharing: "I'm sure you'll have all read the 'news' about me splitting up with Ryan after I flippantly said I was single on my Instagram to make my mum laugh. It was a throwaway comment that I made between my mum, my best friend Danielle and me but it all spiralled out of control."

She added context to the post by explaining, "If you watch the video on my Instagram, you can hear us talking to the doctor and Danielle left a funny comment underneath asking if he was single. To try and cheer my mum up, I said that I was – but with a laughing face.

"I made a joke but, like any couple, Ryan and I do have hard times and our ups and downs. Sometimes we're just hanging on by the skin of our teeth but that's often what happens in a relationship. We've got a lot more than usual to deal with at the moment, like the kids at home, outside drama and looking after my poorly mum."
