Warm and friendly, Kimberley Walsh puts us at ease when we chat to her as she finishes posing for our exclusive photoshoot for her new clothing range with Regatta.
“I had a really good day and it was nice to try different looks with the coats,” she tells us.
The former Girls Aloud star is refreshingly candid as we settle down for a natter, and although talk of her old bandmates is off limits, she’s more than happy to reveal all when it comes to her personal life.
Kimberley’s family unit is solid, having been with her husband Justin Scott, 38, for an impressive 17 years. The couple, who finally tied the knot in a gorgeous Barbados beach wedding in 2016, have sons Bobby, six, and three-year-old Cole.
And despite Kimberley juggling a busy work schedule alongside raising her boys, the 38-year-old says her relationship with Justin couldn’t be stronger.
“We’ve got quite similar personalities and we’re both quite laid-back,” she says. “He’s more laid-back than me. I do the organising and he would never do that – he leaves that to me.”
Since playing teacher to her little ones during lockdown, Kimberley has been performing in Sleepless, the musical adaptation of classic 90s film Sleepless In Seattle, in the role of Annie alongside pop star-turned-West End regular Jay McGuiness.
It’s the first show to be back on stage following lockdown and Kimberley admits she is so happy to be singing for audiences at London’s Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, despite the reduced capacity.
