Meanwhile, Cheryl will naturally turn to her best friends and former Girls Aloud bandmates, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh for support. The pop stars will be the perfect aunties to Cheryl's little one, in particular mum-of-two Kimberley, who can dish out parenting advice for the new mother. Kimberly has previously spoke of her delight for her best friend. "I am really happy that she's happy," she told TV Life. "I don't really want to go into too much detail on that because feel it's something that she should speak about, but to know she's happy makes me happy."
