It comes after Kerry revealed she once got help from a very unexpected friend - Victoria Beckham.
The telly star said Posh Spice reached out to her as her marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden crumbled in 2004.
Kerry revealed Victoria saw her as a kindred spirit as her own marriage to husband David was going through a rough patch as he was accused of cheating with Rebecca Loos.
She explained: "The Rebecca Loos scandal had just happened, yet she got my number and made the gesture,” Kerry revealed - before quickly adding a comment that suggests she fears a ‘photos or it never happened’ backlash.
“It was a sweet thing to do. I’m not sure she’d remember it now, but I still have a lot of respect for her."
Kerry and Brian were married in 2002 - a year after the birth of their first daughter, Molly - but divorced in 2006.
However, the marriage was far from happy - with Brian revealing he had cheated on his then-to-be wife with a lap dancer on his stag do, and later revealing their marriage was a sham and concocted purely for a Hello! magazine deal.
Mirror Online has contacted a representative for Kerry for comment.
