She has also overcome addiction and was seen sobbing with joy outside the jaw-dropping home just yesterday.
Emotional Kerry later showed off her home to fans on Instagram, insisting she was finally back on top.
Speaking about her return to Cheshire, she said: "The last time I lived here I was doing loads of coke, losing all my money, hanging around d***heads who used and abused me.
";Not only have I climbed halfway back 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 taken that bet."
The open-plan property has gleaming floorboards and tiles, white walls and blue walls, and cottage-style beams on the ceiling.
It also features a state-of-the-art kitchen, a spiral staircase, and spotlights.
The house backs onto a small lake and Kerry has a huge garden, with an area to socialise on sofas.

She said she couldn't have turned her life around without the love and support of her boyfriend Ryan Mahoney.
She concluded: "Me and Ryan are entrepreneurs and we’ve been creating this little empire of ours and I’m so super proud.
