Girls Aloud star with a shapely figure







With her pencil thin bandmates becoming slimmer by the minute, it would be understandable if Kimberley Walsh currently lost her curves.
But luckily the Girls Aloud beauty is embracing her shape and refusing to follow in the tiny footsteps of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Sarah Harding.



Last night the 27 year old singer glowed in a sleeveless lumpy jumper dress at the opening of Central Perk, a replica of the cafe in Friends, in London's Soho.
She has admitted to struggling with her weight and lacking body confidence.
'I eat healthily and in moderation,' she said earlier this year. 'I’d put on weight easily if I wasn’t in a pair doing dancing and stuff.
'I’m not one of the lucky ones who can eat what they want.
'I think I'm quite normal not thin, not fat and my stomach's OK because I used to dance loads.'
And she told Heat: 'I'm constantly on a diet. I'm not confident or comfortable with my body. I wouldn't rule out surgery.
'When I was growing up Kate Moss was actually fashionable, that whole waif look, and I knew that I could never be like that.'
By contrast, her bandmates have all battled to keep the weight on.
Cheryl Cole plummeted to six stone after allegations that husband Ashley Cole cheated on her last year.
And Nicola Roberts has been looking gaunt and frail since the Girls Aloud tour.
Kimberley was not the only celebrity at the Friends party last night.

Girls Aloud Nicola says, 'Wembley won’t rock us'



Girls Aloud have vowed to stay true to their pop roots when they support Coldplay at Wembley Stadium this weekend.
The band’s Nicola Roberts said there would be no concessions to fans of Chris Martin’s Grammy award winning rock band.
Nicola made her comments to BBC Radio 5 Live as the five girls ready to get back on stage again for the first time in several months.
The band has had a break over the summer, with Londonderry’s Nadine Coyle remaining in Los Angeles, where she lives with her family. Roberts said there would be no changes to their set and pointed out they were asked to support Coldplay because the rock band liked their music.
“So for us to turn around and scrap a few songs and do a few covers to try and please the crowd well, that’s not what Girls Aloud are about at all.”
She added: “We’re not going to different for anybody, we’re just going to stick to what we do our formula. So far it hasn’t gone so badly.”
Earlier this year Nadine told the Belfast Telegraph that she was a huge fan of Coldplay’s and was excited about supporting them at Wembley.
In an exclusive interview with the newspaper she said: “Can you imagine Coldplay wanting us to support them?
“I love all of their songs and can’t wait for the concerts. I’ll treasure those moments forever.”
Rapper Jay-zee and London indie rockers White Lies who play Belfast in December are also scheduled to perform.

Girls Aloud with Nadine Coyle 'dreading reunion'


After a blissful few months hanging out in LA, Nadine Coyle is heading back to the UK this week for the biggest gig of Girls Aloud’s career.
But friends say the Derry singer is feeling more and more isolated from her bandmates and could be reconsidering her future in the girl pair.
Nadine, 24, is set to take to the stage at London’s Wembley Arena with Girls Aloud to support Coldplay and rap superstar Jay-Z in the most heatedly expected gig of the year.
But while she’s thrilled to be back performing, friends say relations between Nadine and her bandmates Cheryl Cole, 26, Kimberley Walsh, 27, Sarah Harding, 27, and Nicola Roberts, 23, seem “strained”.
“I think the main problem is that Nadine lives in LA and the rest of the girls all live in the UK,” explains our source.
“The girls are all actually busy but they meet up in London when they can and chat on the phone all the time.
“Unfortunately because Nadine isn’t around she must feel like she’s being left out. It’s not intentional but I think Nadine must be feeling a bit frozen out.
“They all used to be such good mates when the band first started but now they have their own personal commitments.
“I don’t think there has been much contact between Nadine and the others since they went their separate ways at the start of the summer so I wouldn’t be surprised if things feel a bit cumbersome and strained when they meet up.
“I think Nadine must be actually dreading going back this week and I speculation she must feel like quitting sometimes.”
Nadine has been working on her solo career for the past few months during Girls Aloud’s year-long break and has been in the studio writing and recording new tracks for an album that she plans to release early next year.
But she is still committed to recording another three albums with Girls Aloud.
“I think it’s difficult for Nadine she must feel very torn,” adds the source.
“She’s trying to juggle two lives one in LA with her family and boyfriend Jason and one in London with Girls Aloud.
“I’ve heard she’s been thinking very seriously about her future. I’m sure she’s hoping that once she’s back in London she will be fine and the gig will give her a opportunity to bond with the girls again.”
