‘X Factor’ evictee Kerry McGregor claims that taking part in The X Factor has cured her of her post-natal depression.

Kerry said: “Being on ‘X Factor’ has been the natural high I needed to go home and be the mother Joshua needs.

“I had the baby blues for the best part of a year. I found it difficult to adjust to being a full-time mum as I was always so career-driven.

“I love my son dearly and I would never trade him for the world. I’m proud of the experience on ‘X factor’ and I’m sure he will benefit.”

Kerry now hopes to persuade Joshua’s father, Dean Robertson, to give their relationship a second chance.

She said: “I would like to think we could get back together. That would be the perfect fairytale ending.”
