Career

Kerry started her music career as a singer when she was 18 years old. At that time, she joined the pop group Atomic Kitten as her job.

The group was made up of three girls; Andy McCluskey, Liz McClarnon, and Natasha Hamilton, who formed the group.

After that, Kerry and the group released their first-ever single, Right Now, in November 1999. The following year, the girls released their second song, See Ya. Both of their songs gained popularity and were well in the Singles Charts in the UK.

In mid-March 2000, Kerry, with her group, released the first album in Japan to perform her talent as a singer. However, the album performed differently than expected.

Next, record management allowed the group to perform another song, the title Whole Again, and it became a hit song.

Furthermore, Kerry changed her career after getting married to her first husband, Brian McFadden.

She adopted his last name and chose television shows instead of music. That is why she became a presenter in different entertainment shows, such as Loose Women, Britain’s Sexiest, etc.

In 2004, she was the winner of the reality series I’m Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. After that, she got the opportunity to judge on You’re Star, a popular talent show in the UK.

In the middle of her rising career, she separated from her husband and dropped his name. For these reasons, she started to use her birth name again.

Later, she started a competitor, Dancing on Ice Series 6 in 2010. The following year, she became a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother and became popular with this show.
