Kerry Katona has issued an update after splitting from her partner of six years Ryan Mahoney last month.
The proud mum said that while she did not expect to be ending her year in these circumstances, she is so grateful to have her children and her health.
She also gave a special mention to her friends, who she has been leaning on during this difficult period.

"I haven't been on to put a video up for a while, because it's been so busy with panto. But things just seem to be getting crazier and crazier," she shared via social media.
"The main thing is I have amazing children, I have my health and I have the most wonderful and surprising friends around me for support."
"I never thought 2024 would have ended like this. Never. But there you go."
In the caption, mum-of-five Kerry added: "To say I'm struggling is an understatement, but putting my best foot forward - or at least trying."
The 43-year-old is mum to Molly, 21, Lilly-Sue, 20, Heidi, 16, Max, 14, and eight-year-old DJ from previous relationships.
Kerry and Ryan were engaged for three years and had planned to elope to Vegas to tie the knot, but those plans were dashed initially as her eldest daughters Lilly-Sue and Molly - her children from her marriage to Brian McFadden - inisited that they wanted to be by their mum's side on the planned big day.
Teenage daughter Heidi shared a message of support in the comments underneath writing: "Love you mummy."
Katie Price - who is reported to have moved in with Kerry to help her through the breakup - posted: "You have got this and I'm by your side every day and in every way."
Kerry replied: "I'm so glad you're here."
She has also had to answer to rumours after she was papped holding hands with one of her Cinderella castmates in Norwich alongside Katie Price.
She set the record straight and insisted she has no time for dating at the moment.
"We had our opening day of Cinderella at Northwich Memorial Court theatre last week and it went really well! I feel like it was the best opening day I’ve had. It’s been really positive. Katie has been performing with me, which is fun and all our co-stars are amazing," the former Atomic Kitten singer wrote in her weekly OK! column.
"Last week I was holding hands with my co-star Joe and some people thought we were a couple, which is just hilarious – he doesn’t swing my way, I’m afraid! I’m definitely in no place to be getting into a relationship or dating anyone, so that won’t be happening with anyone right now, but especially not with Joe!
"Although, he is staying at mine for a little while, and Katie has also been staying some nights, so I’ve had a very full house."
