The 40-year-old star - who has daughters Molly, 19, and Lilly-Sue, 18, with Brian McFadden, Heidi, 13, and Max, 12, with Mark Croft, and six-year-old DJ with the late George Kay – suffered potentially-fatal pre-eclampsia while expecting her youngest child so wouldn’t want to put her body through that again.

And though Kerry and her fiancé Ryan Mahoney are open to the idea of surrogacy instead, she admitted that would be a “long way” off and suggested she’d rather not go through having a young child again.

She told Closer magazine: “I nearly died when I gave birth to DJ, I physically wouldn’t be able to carry a child.

“If we have more, we’d do surrogacy but we’re nowhere near that stage. We want to own a house first, and we already have a madhouse with five kids.

“I’ve bought Ryan a dog, which he treats like a kid, so that should be more than enough… I’m not like Katie [Price], I don’t want another million kids!

“I’ve got two grown-up daughters who are already adults and I’m not sure I could cope with a newborn on top of everything. I love life the way it is.”

At 32, Ryan is eight years Kerry’s junior and she admitted that before she fell for him, she couldn’t imagine anything “worse” than a younger partner.

She gushed: “I wouldn’t be where I am now physically, emotionally, financially and mentally if I hadn’t met Ryan.

“He’s had my best interests at heart from day one.

“He went from being a bachelor and holidaying in Marbella to being a stepdad to five kids. He fitted right in.

“I’d never have dreamed of going out with anyone younger than me – I couldn’t think of anything worse. But the moment I met him, his age was never an issue.

“Molly always takes the mick out of our age gap.”

She jokingly added: “I think he looks older than me anyway.”
