Kimberley Walsh will be having a crack at stateside success as she’s due to collaborate with Ne-Yo, who is a huge artist overseas.

The rapper asked the former Girls Aloud star to join him in the studio after the two met while recording a new ITV2 show.

Even though Kimberley has been spending more time on a TV career then on her music, unlike her Girls Aloud pals, Ne-Yo thinks his new song is perfect for her.

If the tune is a smash, it will make Kimberley the first member of the girl group to break America as Cheryl Cole’s UK number 1s aren’t translating cross-Atlantic and Nadine Coyle’s first efforts did not take off.
