Kerry continued: ‘The last time I lived here [Cheshire] I was doing loads of coke, loads of medication, lost all my money, surrounded by a bunch of d*******s who were just using and abusing me. Not only have I climbed halfway up, I’ve climbed all the way up to the top.
‘Who’d have thought I’d have made it through? If you were to put a bet at the bookies if I was going to end up dead, I would have took that bet. But now I’m here…’

Me and Ryan are entrepreneurs and we’ve been creating this little empire of ours and I’m so super proud. So so super proud.
