"I'm in the middle of a tour at the moment so I can't even go and see her right now. But yeah she's alright aren't you mum? Big scare, huge huge scare.
"We're all a little bit shook up by it but she's in hospital, she's in the right place."
Kerry says she is unable to see her mum as she's currently on tour performing in a pantomime. The mum-of-five said her kids are going to see her mum today as she asked fans to say lots of prayers and "keep her safe."
Speaking to the camera, Kerry added: "She's OK, she's doing OK. She had multiple heart attacks so we've got her in the best health we can possibly get her in, so I'm sure she will now get inundated with messages. My mum did want me to let everyone know so that's what I'm doing.
"It happened on Thursday, I went straight to her house but I wasn't allowed to go to the hospital but now you can go in but now I'm on tour with Max. Everyone say lots of prayers, keep her safe and I will see you soon mum."
