Britain's Duchess of Cornwall is backing Kimberley Walsh to win 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

Camilla - wife of future king Prince Charles - is a huge fan of the British Saturday night show and has been impressed by all the contestants, especially Girls Aloud star Kimberley and her partner Pasha Kovalev as they are making great improvements.

Kimberley - met up with Camilla as part of an event for Diamond Champions initiative, run by older people's charity WRVS, which recognises the contribution that people over the age of 60 make through volunteering - tweeted: 'Camilla is still rooting for me and Pasha. She said she loved our Tango yey.'

As soon as Camilla saw Kimberley at the event, she went tp speak to her to get all the 'Strictly' gossip.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'Camilla is well-known as a big Strictly fan and so when she saw Kimberley at the event she couldn't resist having a natter about the series so she could get the gossip from behind the scenes.

'Camilla says she's been watching all the way through and was supporting Kimberley and thinks she is improving every week which was lovely for her to hear. It gave Kimberley a real confidence boost.'
