Kimberly Walsh is currently busy keeping up with the rest of the contestants in Strictly Come Dancing.
But that doesn’t mean she won’t be reunited with the rest of Girls Aloud to mark their 10-year anniversary in November.
The 30-year-old singer claimed that she 'might' perform together with Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle before Christmas, and has assured to be working hard so that she could fit all in her busy schedule.
She told OK! magazine: 'I'll just have to work really hard. Being on Strictly won't hold anything up that we already had planned. I'm going to get in trouble if I say any more!'
As she posed alongside her professional partner, Pasha Kovalev, the star displayed her incredible figure in a skimpy cut-out gold dress.
But Kimberley confessed that she initially doubts she can handle the pressure that comes with taking part in the BBC One dance show.
She added: 'It's a really big decision to take part in a show like this. It's so huge, and everyone loves it. It's a pressure, isn't it? But I think I made the right decision.'
The Bradford-born beauty posed together with her fellow Strictly stars in a set of fun new promotional pictures.
Olympic cycling champion Victoria Pendleton showed off her now trademark washboard abs in a barely-there collection as she cosied up to partner Brendan Cole, while Denise Van Outen flashed her already remarkable skills as she almost performed the splits alongside professional dancer James Jordan.
But Kimberley's Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts thinks her chum's amazing bottom will be the X factor in winning the coveted mirror ball trophy this year.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, she said: 'I think with a smile and a bum like Kimberley's she doesn't have any competition. She is amazing. She is an amazing person in general. She's one of my best friends, and she's just such a beautiful person.'
And even cricket star Michael Vaughan confessed that his eldest daughter wasn’t rooting for him; instead she was rooting for the pop princess.
He joked: 'I rang my kids and told them who was on the show. My eldest daughter, who is eight, said that she would be voting for Kimberley Walsh.'
Despite the fact that she would compete against a whole host of stars, including Westlife's Nicky Byrne, TV presenter Fern Britton and supermodel Jerry Hall, Kimberley has received a royal seal of approval from Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, after meeting them at a Clarence House function.
She tweeted: 'Afternoon tea with the Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House then off to my first dance lesson (sic)!'
She later added: 'Ooh Charles was there too! Camilla said she'll vote for me on 'Strictly'! Ha (sic)!'
But it wasn't just the Strictly girls, who were enjoying things in their photoshoot.
TV legend Johnny Ball paraded his ballroom skills with partner Aliona Vilani, while former EastEnders actor Sid Owen lifted his pint-sized partner Ola Jordan up into the air.
And although Olympian Louis Smith - who is partnered alongside the dazzling Flavia Cacace - smiled through the shoot, he admitted his 'bum cheeks' were already been aching from his vigorous training.
In an interview with Reveal magazine, he said: 'After the first bit of training for Strictly, my bum cheeks were so sore. So much pain.'
'I spent two weeks in Marbella after the Olympics, and I haven't been in the gym for two months.'
