She detailed the ordeal: "I've taken my mum into hospital, we've had no sleep, for those of you who are aware, thank you all so very much for the messages. The hospital found clots on my mum's lungs, so she's not in a good way, I'm absolutely exhausted."

Kerry went on to describe her exhaustion and concern: "I need to get some sleep so I can get to the hospital and be there for my mum. I've come back to my mum's flat, because it's closest to the hospital, so I can get back there. Big love to you mum. You really scared me. I could throttle you. But I got her to the hospital and that's the main thing. And I stayed with her. It was absolutely exhausting, I need to get some sleep. My mum sends her love to everybody, I asked everybody to say a prayer to keep her strong and keep her fighting."

In the caption of the post, she expressed gratitude towards her well-wishers: "Thank you all for your texts and messages sorry if I've not replied but I really need to get some sleep so I can be at my best for my mum. Also the biggest shout out to all the staff nurses and doctors at the hospital you guys are truly amazing and work your asses off so much!".
