KERRY-LEE'S NEW LIFE 'IT'S UNCHARTED TERRITORY!'

When Woman's Day calls Kerry-Lee Dewing for our chat, the exW Shortland Street actress is a little scattered.

"I'm sorry, my head's all over the place," she laughs as she organises her thoughts and settles in for our catch-up.

It's understandable really: she's just returned to her Sydney home from an epic European adventure - "I know, I was one of those people on Instagram, I'm sorry!" she exclaims she's started a new job in property management and the jet lag is a killer. But while life is busy for the actress - who made the move across the ditch shortly after finishing up at Shorty in 2019 she has never been happier, although she admits shifting to Australia absolutely "terrified" her.

"There's been a lot of exciting changes and uncharted territory for me," she tells.

"I've had a lot more time to be Kerry-Lee without everything that defined me in New Zealand - time to define my identity and explore who I am in this world. I've done a lot of reflecting. I hate saying 'discovery, but I guess that's a by-product, whether it's conscious or not."

After playing eventual serial killer Kylie Brown on Shortland Street for eight years, Kerry-Lee needed a change and upped sticks to Australia, following her boyfriend who was based in Sydney.
