Explaining that she couldn’t leave her daughter’s side, Kerry added: “I took some days off work to stay with her. She’s home now, but nurses are still coming to us to visit. It’s been scary and she’s still full of cold, but she’s on the mend. Ryan is looking after her while I go back to work.”
Just last month, Kerry opened up about the anxiety she has over DJ and her health. She said that she was left shaken by the news that presenter Annabel Giles had passed away – the television and radio star died aged 64 on 20 November following a brave battle against cancer.
Kerry explained days after the presenter’s death: “Annabel Giles sadly passed away at 64 last week, which was awful. It really scares me to read things like that. It’s such a shame and I’m thinking of her family. I have health anxiety when it comes to DJ.
“I worry about her, especially recently as she’s had a few fainting spells. We took her for an MRI and the doctor found something. We’re waiting as her results have been sent to a neurosurgeon, but the doctor seems to think she’s alright. He said that lots of us could have what she has but we’ve just not had MRIs.”
DJ’s father, rugby star George, died in 2019 after a drug overdose. He and Kerry had met when they were in school together, but didn’t begin dating until 2012 after a chance encounter brought them back together.
Following George’s death, Kerry said in an interview: “George is my baby's daddy and she's never, ever going to see him again and I've got so much anger towards him for that. I'm so angry. You become very, very selfish when you have an addiction. He's going to be missing out on so many wonderful things, because that kid is one amazing kid.”
