Kimberley Walsh has revealed that Girls Aloud have seen more of each other than people think.

The 30-year-old, currently starring in Strictly Come Dancing, told The Sun that the group have been in regular contact with each other during the last 12 months in order to organise their upcoming reunion:

“Everything is about to be announced, our plans will be out there on Friday. But we have been meeting with Nadine over the past year to discuss Girls Aloud stuff and we have managed to not get pictured together.

"We want the comeback to have some impact so we have been a bit cheeky with that.

“We have seen more of each other than people think over the past year.To come back as a group you have to feel like a group again so we have all been bonding. It was important that we found that again.”

The Shrek The Musical actress, who last month admitted that she was originally too soft for the music business, also spoke of how proud she was after seeing Cheryl Cole perform on her current arena tour:

“It was amazing, I was so proud of Cheryl. I have seen her perform before obviously but seeing her do a full-on show like that, I felt like a proud mother.

"And it was so nice to sit back and watch someone else perform. It was the first time we have released a picture of us girls together.”
