Born in Bradford, Kimberley, 41 rose to prominence when she took part in the talent competition Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.

She was voted by the public to be a part of the formation of the winning Girls Aloud where they rocketed straight to number one with their debut single Sound Of The Underground.

The popular band achieved a string of twenty consecutive top ten singles in the UK and were nominated for five BRIT Awards, winning Best Single in 2009 for “The Promise”.

Later she went onto expand her repertoire as she made her West End debut in Shrek: The Musical in 2011 and went onto to perform in stage versions of popular films such as Elf in 2015 and Sleepless in Seattle in 2019.

She married her long-term partner Justin Scott – former member of the boy band Triple 8 – in January 2018, where they share three sons.

But away from the camera she grew up with three siblings, Sally, Amy and Adam Walsh in West Yorkshire.

However, both her siblings have carved careers for themselves in the UK drama industry as both appeared on the soaps.

Sally played the character of Lyn Hutchinson in Emmerdale between 1997 and 2000.

Three years later, she left Emmerdale and featured in EastEnders and Coronation Street.

In Coronation Street, Sally played a midwife as Sinead Tinker who gave birth to her baby boy Bertie.

She later opened up her own drama academy whilst Amy joined the cast of the Yorkshire based soap in 2014 as Tracy Metcalfe where sghe first appeared in the soap as Sam Dingle’s love interest.

The actress is also married to another soap star, Toby Smith, who played Gray Atkins in EastEnders between 2019 and 2022.

They previously shared a rare snap of their adorable daughter together after they welcomed their baby girl into the world in December 2021.

Amy shared a sweet pic of Toby-Alexander running in a field with their daughter.

The pair met while sitting in the audience of BBC show Strictly Come Dancing in 2019.

Then in September 2021 they revealed the happy news that they were expecting their first child.
