Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh is well known for her voluptuous shape. But despite having long accepted her curvaceous figure, she still has some testing times when it comes to shopping for clothes.

The Girls Aloud star revealed shopping for jeans – for most women a wardrobe must-have – often reduces her to tears.

Kimberley said: ‘I’ve been known to shed a few tears at times [when buying jeans] it’s quite distressing!’

And she had some support from fellow curvy girl on show This Morning, Holly Willoughby who agreed saying: ‘I love shopping, I’m a woman and it’s my right to shop, but my least favourite shopping of all is for jeans…’

Kimberley spoke of her distress at not knowing what size will fit, and the tears come when the usual size just won’t do up.

She told Holly: ‘You think if your usual don’t fit you then you think ‘that’s no good – I’ve obviously put on weight’ but it’s not necessarily, it might just be the wrong cut. ‘I just end up in the changing rooms with twenty pairs of jeans on the floor feeling thoroughly depressed.’

Kimberley spoke to Holly and Phillip Schofield on show This Morning, as she promoted her new documentary for Sky 1 HD – Kimberley Walsh: Blue Jean Girl.

The singer’s programme is a look into the world of denim. She came up with the idea after struggling to find the perfect pair of jeans for myself and then it evolved into looking at the history of and all things related to denim.

Kimberley said: ‘We went back to the beginning which started in San Francisco – Levi Strauss did create the first pair of jeans that were called work overalls which were worn by miners and then cowboys generally because of its strength – they were really thick and hard wearing denim.

‘You don’t realise how obsessed with denim people are until you start on a journey like this. I was quite shocked.

‘I know when Marilyn Monroe first wore a pair or Levi’s – she wore men’s and pulled them in at the waist and them women were like “we want to wear jean” – it became a fashion thing then. ‘

Talking about other projects coming up Kimberly said she is hosting Channel Four’s The Five O’Clock show Thursday and Friday of this week.

She also cleared up the rumours about the future of Girls Aloud when Phil asked what was going on and if they were splitting up. Kimberley revealed: ‘We’ve definitely not split up, but we are enjoying trying out new things.

‘It funny because even though we are not together we are still supporting each other in our own little pathways, so it feels like you have got them with you. But no, we’ve not split up.’

And when asked if they had plans to do something together next year, she answered non-committally: ‘We don’t, but I think it will probably be next year – we actually haven’t started recording anything yet… but hopefully it won’t be too long.’

Kimberley Walsh: Blue Jean Girl is showing Wednesday at 9pm on Sky1 HD and Sky1
