Kimberley Walsh has revealed Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Nicola Roberts will be birdesmaids at her wedding next year.

Walsh, 34, has been with her partner Justin Scott for 12 years, but the couple – who have 15-month-old son Bobby – have finally decided to tie the knot.

Speaking with Holly Willoughby and Ben Shephard on This Morning, Walsh confessed: “I am finally getting married! We’ve been together about twelve years, so we’ve already done a marriage basically, but now we’re getting married… I’m starting to make plans. It’ll be next year but we don’t know exactly when yet."

She added: “I’ve got bridesmaids picked - Cheryl and Nicola are among the tribe I’ve got! It’s going to be lovely.”

Recalling the moment Scott proposed she said: “Justin was holding Bobby in one arm and dropped down to one knee…”

When asked by Willoughby if she will change her surname to Scott, she replied: “I am, yeah. I’m going to take his name and be Kimberley Scott. I want us to be a family and people keep saying to me ‘you can’t do that’... but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal, I think I can. I want us to be a family and I’d like us to have the same name.”

Walsh was recently joined by her former Girls Aloud band mates Fernandez-Versini and Roberts at the opening night of Elf: The Musical.
