She says that now... Ah, no, it's a very beautiful thing - in the grand scheme of things.

The 32-year-old singer is expecting her first child next month with partner Justin Scott and she is fully prepared to give birth to a large baby. Again, she says that now... I'll stop.

She told OK! Magazine: "I'm excited about meeting my baby - I'd like Justin to film the birth. He says he's excited to come home to me and the baby. It looks like a big baby - I'm not expecting a small one."

The former Girls Aloud star recently celebrated her baby shower at Nether Winchendon House in Buckinghamshire with bandmate Nicola Roberts and pal Kara Tointon (in case you thought Cheryl was looking a bit different).

As it happens, Kimberley admitted she missed her good friend, newly-married Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who wasn't able to make it to the shower: "It's weird when you've got close friends that are missing. Cheryl tried so hard to make it possible to come but she's so busy at the moment with work. She has booked two weeks off around the time the baby's due so she can be around."

Cheryl's absence didn't entirely overshadow the event, with Kimberley adding: "It was amazing, so overwhelming. Being weeks away to actually having my own baby really hit home."
