The TV presenter couldn't bear to see mum Sharon suffering when she had a serious tooth infection recently, so she treated her to an £11,000 designer handbag.
Miraculously Sharon forget about her illness.
Kelly, 20, said: "It was a Hermes Birkin with diamonds. My mum was sick and getting terrible headaches. It was her dentist who discovered that it was an infection in her teeth, which had spread upwards.
"She had to have loads of treatment, which was making her depressed. I knew how much she wanted that stupid bag.
"To me it was just materialistic, but my mum really wanted it. She cried and cried when I gave it to her - I couldn't understand why she was crying so much over a handbag!"
Despite splashing out a small fortune on the bag, the Kelly insists her mother was more impressed with the gesture than the price tag.
The feisty star - whose dad is rocker Ozzy Osbourne - said: "For us, what's valuable isn't the price tag, it's the time and effort put into it.
"I have a box in which I keep every note my mum has ever given me. They mean more to me than anything. If they got destroyed or lost, I'd be devastated."
