Kimberly Wyatt is "so thankful" that former bandmate Ashley Roberts is living in the UK with her.

The former Pussycat Dolls star - who is a judge on 'Got To Dance' alongside JLS star Aston Merrygold and Ashley Banjo - moved to London last year.

30-year-old Wyatt's former bandmate Ashley Roberts is also in England as a newly-appointed judge on ice skating show 'Dancing On Ice'.

Wyatt is glad she has a companion in the country, telling Closer magazine: "I've been so thankful to have Ashley over here in the UK. She's probably my closest friend."

Wyatt loves working alongside Merrygold and Banjo, but admits they don't always see eye-to-eye when it comes to judging the dance talent on the series.

She revealed: "I disagreed with the comments judges Aston and Ashley were giving. There can be some heated debate on the panel, but you're not always going to be right. I'm learning that."
