Beyonce makes Kimberley Walsh realise curves are beautiful

Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh has admitted she learned to love her womanly curves after being inspired by singer Beyonce.

The 29-year-old used to dislike her body but after being inspired by the Best Thing I Never Had hitmaker to wear clothes that flatter her figure, she has never looked back.

She told Zest magazine: "I grew up thinking Kate Moss was the perfect woman, but that was a totally unachievable body shape for me. It was never ever going to happen. Can you imagine me in a pair of skinny jeans?

"Then along came Beyonce. We were exactly the same age and she looked amazing, so I started to dress like her and suddenly my shape made sense. I'd think: "Oh, yes. Beyonce's wearing a figure-hugging dress and drawing attention to her tiny waist, so I'd buy a new dress and a large belt, go out and pretend to be Beyonce. She was a great alter-ego for me."

Walsh also admitted that she used to be known for having the 'biggest bum' in her dance class.

She added: "When I was at dance classes in Bradford, my teacher would always shout, 'Pull in your bum, Kimberley!' And I'd say, 'I'm trying - it just won't go in!!' It's been sticking out since I was two. I had the biggest bum out of about 50 girls in my class."
