Kerry McFadden has checked into London's exclusive Priory clinic suffering from depression, her publicist Max Clifford has confirmed.

The Sun claims that 24-year-old Kerry has been struggling to cope with the break-up of her marriage to ex-Westlife singer Brian.

A friend told the paper that Kerry was still in love with the singer.

"Kerry is a sensible, lovely, charming girl and it's not nice to see her so depressed," said the source.

"She has accepted that her marriage will end in divorce but is still distraught over it all."

The mother or two is said to have lost two stones since the end of her three-year marriage.

The celebrity couple, who were married in 2002, confirmed their split in October, following reports that Kerry was buying a house of her own in Warrington, Cheshire

Kerry was crowned "Queen of the Jungle" in February's series of the show "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!"
