'Cheryl is naturally good with kids': Kimberly Walsh says her pregnant best friend will be a 'brilliant mum'
She's been friends with Cheryl for more than 14 years after the two of them made it through Popstars: The Rivals auditions to form Girls Aloud back in 2002.
So Kimberly Walsh is better placed than most to discuss her pregnant best friend's journey into motherhood.
'She'll be a brilliant mum,' Kimberly, who is also pregnant, told Closer magazine. 'She has loads of nieces and nephews so she's used to the madness of children.'

She added: 'Both she and Nicole (Roberts) are naturally good with kids. I think they've both always planned to settle down and have a family. '
Although Cheryl has yet to confirm her pregnancy, she was spotted with boyfriend Liam Payne at a charity bash just two weeks ago, sporting what appeared to be a visible baby bump.
And Kimberly, 34, can also pass on her own advice when it comes to motherhood.

Best of friends: Along with Nicole Roberts, Kimberly and Cheryl have remained close after Girls Aloud split
Earlier this year Kimberly revealed Cheryl's reaction to her baby news.
'Cheryl knew I wanted to have my children close together so she’s happy that I’ve got another on the way,' she told OK Magazine. 'I’m sure she expected it in a way but she’s still over the moon for me.'
Cheryl joined Nicola as a bridesmaid for Kimberly at her Barbados wedding to Justin back in January.
The trio have more of a distant relationship with the remaining ex-Girls Aloud members Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle.
In fact, as reported by The Mirror, Cheryl's speech to her friend at the rehearsal ceremony included the words: 'I wish you both eternal happiness, filled with love, laughter and a beautiful life with your husband to be and your gorgeous – hopefully growing soon – family.'
