Cheryl Cole has expressed her delight at seeing Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh sign up for Strictly Come Dancing.

Walsh will be one of fourteen contestants on the popular dancing reality TV show, which begins on Saturday (September 15).

Talking to BBC Newsbeat, Cole said that she "can't wait" to watch Walsh dance on national TV. She said:

"I think it's amazing. I can't wait actually. I'm gonna go watch as much as I can."

However, the 'Call My Name' singer believes that Walsh's perfectionism could get the better of her as the series progresses. She said:

"She's really hard on herself that's the only thing I worry about. She is a perfectionist and if she doesn't feel like she's doing it perfectly she'll give herself a hard time. So I am going to have to rein that in."

Joining the Girls Aloud singer on the show are the likes of Westlife man Nicky Byrne and Daybreak presenter Richard Arnold.
