Kimberley Walsh: ‘I Would Have Said No To X Factor’

Out of respect for Cheryl…

Kimberley Walsh has said she would have refused to fill in for her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole on X Factor.

The Suck My Pop presenter said it “wouldn’t be appropriate” for her to appear on the talent show.
Cheryl was forced to pull out of filming after catching malaria earlier this year. Nicole Scherzinger stepped in to join the panel while the Geordie star recovered.
But Kimberley said if she’d been asked she would have said no despit having ‘similar opinions’ to her bandmate.
Walsh added of Nicole Scherzinger: “She’ll be interesting to watch, it’s a good way for the public to get to know her better.”
Cheryl is expected back on the X Factor when the final contestants are whittled down at the judge’s ‘houses’.
The series starts on August 21 with Cole appearing in the first few episodes of auditions.
