With her hair tied off her face, Kerry was seen working up a sweat and patting her stomach as she puffed around the pitch.

Kerry recently made comments about her weight after seeing pictures of herself in a blue bikini on holiday with fiancé Ryan Mahoney.

In a candid post, she told her followers about her initial reaction: "I was like, ‘Oh my God, is that a whale? No! It was Kerry!’. It’s alright though. It’s all good. I’ve got a big bum. But can you see? It’s like my body’s swollen. It’s like you need to get a pin and go ‘pop’."

When a fan suggested she should embrace her body no matter what, Kerry replied: "I am embracing my body! I am very open and honest with my kids.

"I’ve had surgery. Why lie to them? But I’m a 41 year old woman. I’m entitled to do what I want to do after having five kids. And I’m very open and honest with my kids and hopefully everything that I’ve had done will put them off for life! But I'm not going to hide away what I’ve done!

"Yes, I look huge. It’s not healthy, it’s not good. I need to get in the gym when I get home. I’ve definitely got body issues. I love my food. I think that’s the problem. I love it so much. So there we go. My body’s just swollen. It is what it is, isn’t it people?"

Since then she has been sharing her journey on Instagram.

Yesterday she decided to make light of the snaps in a video posted on her grid.
