Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has addressed reports she, Cheryl and Nicola Roberts are 'plotting' against former bandmate Nadine Coyle; after the girls were forced to release a joint statement denying they're voting for her to partake in gruesome I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! trials.
Branding the original claims 'completely untrue,' Kimberley admits she actually cried during a trail which saw Nadine skydive into the jungle.
Speaking exclusively to heatworld, Kimberley insisted: "Do you know what? I don’t usually bother to put statements out about things like that; but it was so completely untrue and it’s not where any of us are at in our heads. I didn’t like that negativity being out there and it’s not true.
"I actually watch it and I feel a lot of love for her, you know? You spend all those years with somebody and it’s hard to watch them do things that are upsetting."
Admitting she doesn't like to see Nadine 'suffer,' Kimberley added: "I cried watching her jump out of the plane; I knew how hard that would be for her. So, no; I don’t get any joy out of seeing her suffering. I just feel proud that she’s doing so well in there because it’s a big challenge for her."
Asked if she's surprised how well Nadine's coping in the jungle, Kimberley explained: "She is really scared. Even going to fairgrounds. Sometimes they’d make us go to a fair and film on a rollercoaster or something and she used to hate all of it; so it’s hard for her for sure.
"I remember hearing her scream about a mouse in her room in Amsterdam. I could hear it down the end of the corridor. She was literally terrified. So this will be a really good experience for her, I think."
