has accused ex of being a ‘s*** dad.’
The former Atomic Kitten star, 42, was married to former Westlife singer Brian, 43, for four years from 2002 to 2006.
Kerry and Brian during this time – daughters Molly, now 21, and Lily, 20.
The has now insisted she did not receive any child support from Brian following their split.
In an appearance on Elli McKay’s On A Mission podcast, Kerry reflected on their split and claimed: ‘I’m the one who provides for them, I didn’t get maintenance money off Brian.
‘I signed a piece of paper saying, “you can keep your money, give me my kids.”‘
Asked why she did this rather than insisting on getting maintenance money for the girl, Kerry said she ‘didn’t want his f*****g money, I wanted my kids.’
She claimed Brian was ‘s******g himself’ that she would take his money in a split, but said she had no interest and only wanted the children.
‘I said, “look – if you don’t want me, if you don’t love me, I don’t want your money, just give me half the money from the house that we sell, and I will sign a piece of paper, just give me my kids.”
‘I signed the piece of paper, I got the kids, and he f****d off to Australia.’
She added: ‘He was a s**t dad. He was a s**t dad.’
Kerry said it ‘really bothered’ their daughters, ‘especially now because he is a great dad with Ruby,’ his two-year-old daughter with fiacée Danielle Parkinson.
The I’m A Celeb star has previously spoken about ‘the loneliness of being a single mum,’ sharing her heartbreak of ‘feeling like I couldn’t make Brian love me enough to keep our family together.’
Brian himself has admitted he ‘missed out’ with his two eldest children, as they were born at the height of his Westlife fame.
He told Closer last year: ‘I was only a kid myself when I had Molly and Lilly, and I was at the height of my career in Westlife then – we were literally working 365 days a year, and there was no FaceTime so I couldn’t speak to the kids, I could only see them when I came home.’
The singer said he now has a good relationship with his daughters, as well as with Kerry and her other children, as ‘they’re Molly and Lily’s siblings so they’re part of my family too.’
Brian and Kerry were reunited last year as eldest daughter Molly celebrated her 21st birthday with a party in Dublin, with both parents sharing sweet childhood photos of their daughter to celebrate her big day.
