The 38-year-old singer - who has Molly, 17, and Lilly-Sue, 15, with first husband Brian McFadden, Heidi, 11, and Maxwell, 10, with Mark Croft, and Dylan-Jorge, four, with third spouse George Kay - is worried about getting older because it brings her closer to her own mortality.

Asked if she worries about ageing, Kerry said to Now magazine: "Yes, I'm going to be 40 next year.

"It's not about my looks - I look about 12 anyway. I'm scared of death.

"I know it sounds morbid but I'm so scared of leaving my children and missing out on their lives. I think, 'F**k, I''m 40. I have 44 Christmases left.'"

Kerry is currently single and after having such a turbulent personal life in the past, she's not in a rush to get into another relationship.

She said: "To be honest, I don't even know if I want a man.

"I've gone from the extreme of meeting someone, falling in love, getting pregnant, getting married, and then divorced, to the point where I don't want anybody in my life.

"I've been hurt so much, I'm not letting anyone in. But at the same time, I don't want to be on my own."

Meanwhile, the former Atomic Kitten singer admitted she's considering having some cosmetic surgery.

She said: "Not at the minute but I was thinking about getting a boob job though.

"When I lift my arms, they look really good. I want to be able to walk around like, 'Hi boys! How are you?'"
