People are only now realising that Kimberly Walsh has a famous soap star sister

Kimberley Walsh has revealed why neither Nadine Coyle nor Sarah Harding will be among the eight bridesmaids for her wedding.

The former Girls Aloud star explained that while she will have eight ladies standing beside her at the altar, it’s her other two band mates who have landed the roles.

As well as Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nicola Roberts, Kimberley has also chosen her two best friends from home and her two sisters as well as the sister and daughter of her fiancé Justin Scott.

Kimberley and Cheryl have remained close.

She told The Sun on Sunday: “I know it’s eight, but if you break it down there’s no one who shouldn’t be there. I either have hardly any or have them all, and there are no rules are there?”

When pressed about the absence of Nadine and Sarah, Kimberley explained: “I’m not really in touch with Nadine to be honest.

“She’s not in this country and we’ve drifted apart. But I wish her well and it’s good to see that she’s managing to juggle it all.”

The 33-year-old added: “Sarah still texts a lot saying she’s coming round. It’s not happened yet! But she does really want to. She’s constantly texting me at the moment because I think she feels like it’s been a long time.”

Kimberley and Justin got engaged last year. They have been together for over a decade and have a son, Bobby, together.
