Kimberley Walsh approves of Cheryl Cole's new boyfriend.

The Girls Aloud star thinks her bandmate and close friend's man Tre Holloway is 'lovely', and although she doesn't know too much about him she is looking forward to Cheryl opening up about her relationship with her backing dancer when the time is right.

Kimberley revealed: 'He's a really lovely guy, but I feel it's right to give her the space to settle into it herself and discuss it in her own time. She deserves that.'

The 'Something New' singer has also been getting advice from Cheryl on her dance steps for 'Strictly Come Dancing' and she hopes the pair could incorporate some of their fancy new moves on the group's hotly-anticipated comeback tour next year.

Kimberley, 30, added: 'I tell her each week what the dance is and she gives me a quick run-down of the basics. It's nice that she understands how hard it is ... Maybe me and Cheryl could do it together - she used to do ballroom dancing.'

Despite her busy schedule, Kimberley still makes time for her long-term boyfriend Justin Scott and says her nine-year romance is stronger than ever.

She told LOOK magazine: 'It's always been busy in our relationship, but he's so easy going, he just chills out. We've been together so long, it's not like when you're at the early stage of a relationship and you worry whether you'll get through. I go home to him every night, so I do see a lot of him.'
