Kimberly Walsh exercises so she can eat more.

The curvy Girls Aloud singer revealed she has realised she will never be skinny and now only exercises to make sure she can enjoy her food.

She told Look magazine: "I've learned to have everything in moderation - then I can just about get away with it! I train so that I can eat, rather than to get skinny. I like my food so I'll never be skinny."

Kimberly also revealed that she seeks inspiration from fuller figured pop stars like Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez.

She said: "I'm always looking at girls with my shape to see what looks good on them and take tips - people like Beyonce and J-Lo. If their bum looks good in a certain dress, I try to get one.

"I never like to show too much flesh, it's all about the silhouette."

The singer has recently branched out into jewellery design and said it was a natural progression.

She explained: "Last year I got it in my head that I wanted to design jewellery. It was quite organic because I had already done some sketches and I'm quite good at art, I got an A!"
