The E4 programme attempts to match up celebrities across a variety of dates – sometimes with toe-curling results.
Speaking on the Not My Bagg podcast about her second stint on the show, Kerry said: “Some of the dates were a bit of a p**s take.”
Asked by presenter Joe Baggs why Kerry had signed up, the honest star replied: “I wanted the pay check, a bit of exposure, and a bit of therapy.”
Kerry’s cringeworthy dates are yet to air, but viewers have so far seen her breaking down in tears over a recent break-up on the therapist’s sofa.
She opened up about her split from her personal trainer fiance Ryan Mahoney, 36, after six years, admitting that Ryan had told her: “Look, I just know know if I love you anymore.”
Kerry explained: “We were arguing quite a lot, because he wasn’t there for me emotionally, and that used to really get to me.
“And it’s little things, just little things I want. I don’t want diamond rings, it’s the little things.”
She continued: “I was devastated.”
Anna Williamson told Kerry: “I truly hail you as one of the most resilient people I have ever met.”
This prompted Kerry to become emotional again as she cired: “I never had anyone to look after me.
“I’ve had to be my own hero, which I’m really proud of, but yeah, I struggle with that.”
However, Kerry has a lot to thank the show for, after they set her up with personal trainer Paolo Margaglione who she is now dating.
Speaking to The Sun earlier this month, the mum-of-five confessed she wasn’t expecting to meet anybody on the E4 show – and she signed up for the money.
Kerry also shrugged off any suggestion the age gap between her and Paolo would be an issue.
She joked: “I feel like 21, so who cares!
“For me it’s energy, it doesn’t matter who you are – an age gap is an age gap, as long as you’re happy and have that connection.
“You could be with the same person for the next 10 years and be miserable as anything, it doesn’t matter.”
