The 40-year-old star penned a kind message for her ex after he revealed that his fiancée Danielle Parkinson had given birth to the couple's first child together and explained that her and Brian's daughter Lilly-Sue, 18, had visited the newborn.

Kerry – who was married to the former Westlife star from 2002 to 2006 - wrote in her New! magazine column: "It's lovely news that my ex Brian has welcomed his baby girl.

"Our Lilly went to see them last week and I saw pictures and videos that Brian had sent the girls of their new arrival. She's absolutely stunning."

The former Atomic Kitten singer added: "A huge congratulations to Brian and Danielle – I wish them both the very best. I know they've spoken about how difficult they found it to conceive. She's a miracle baby and I'm really happy for them."

Kerry has also said that she would like to have a child with partner Ryan Mahoney but wants to use a surrogate because she "couldn't physically" carry another baby.

The star – who has Molly, 19, and Lilly-Sue with Brian, Heidi, 14, and Max, 13, with Mark Croft, and six-year-old DJ with the late George Kay – shared on Instagram live: "I am going to get my eggs frozen because I would like Ryan to have a child but I couldn't physically carry it. So we are looking into surrogacy but we're in no rush."

Kerry admits that she finds it difficult to resist the urge to spoil her younger kids.

When asked if her kids were spoilt, she said: "Not so much Molly and Lilly but the other three."
