Much loved singer Kimberley, 43, has now revealed that she' s keen for a new pop talent show to grace our screens, seven years after X Factor ended.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Kimberley said: "I was chatting to a commissioner the other day and we were chatting about formats.
"There is actually a guy that I knew from years and years ago that worked on our Pop Stars: The Rivals programme and we were saying that maybe it's time to create another show that would create a really amazing girl band."
Kimberley, who found fame on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, said she believes there is space for a new singing competition.

"I feel like the reaction to us coming back was quite something and none of us really expected it to be quite so huge, which clearly shows people still love girl bands and there's a space for more," she said.
"There's just not really any new bands coming out or we're not really seeing them in the mainstream anymore which is a shame I think.It's really
nice
for young boys and girls to have girl bands to aspire to."

hitmaker
said she'd love to be a panel member - but won't be channeling Simon Cowell's
energy
.
She shared: "I think I'd really enjoy something like that because it's mentoring and I've got a lot of knowledge over the years to give but equally there's a lot of responsibility there and I think I'd be really soft, I wouldn't want to say no to anybody.

Last year Kimberley and bandmates Cheryl
, 42,
, 39,
, 40,
reunited for the
first time in 11 years - for a special concert for Sarah Harding, after
in 2021.
Iconic girl band to make huge comeback after a decade and have secretly reunited to film video ahead of new album & tour
'The reunion tour was amazing, I feel like we had that incredible moment and it was a way for us to obviously honour Sarah. That was our main focus and we massively achieved that I think," Kimberley said.
"People really did feel they were able to celebrate her and that was really special for us. Who knows [if we will reunite], it's really hard to say right now it's not where we're at.
"If you had asked me 10 years ago if we'd be doing a tour, last year I'd probably have said no - so you never know, do you.
'I definitely [feel like me and the girls are closer than ever now], we spent all that time last year together, back to like the old days, back to our kind of sisterhood and it's actually been so lovely to reconnect fully.
"It was a really special time.'
Meanwhile DIY enthusiast Kimberley
has tapped into the demand and launched her latest paint colour in collaboration with home improvement retailer,
The pop beauty, who has previously taken part in some of the biggest TV reality shows - including Strictly Come Dancing, said she would jump at the chance to do one show in particular.
She told us: "I've done a lot of the big shows that I would personally enjoy doing, just because for me, if I'm going to do a show like that it's got to be something that I'm really interested in and really into because it takes a lot of time and dedication. Strictly was amazing.
"Nadine [Coyle] was amazing in the jungle - I did not in a million years think she'd be able to cope with it like that, she's terrified of her own shadow but she did so well.
"I think for me the hardest thing is being away from the kids, I've got three kids, I think they'd find it really really tough. For me, it's not something I'd ever consider just because of the isolation element of it, being away, it's not the one."
Kimberley
then teased: "There are always new shows coming up, I think my ultimate is if they did an All Stars Strictly, I'd be like 'sign me up straight away' because I just loved it so much. Maybe they should do that."
She took part on the dance show in 2012 and was partnered with Pasha Kovalev, where she finished as one of the runners-up, alongside Denise Van Outen, while Louis Smith won the competition.
Elsewhere, Kimberley
said she may even be eyeing up a DIY show like Stacey Solomon's BBC show Sort Your Life Out.
Taking all things DIY, Kimberley said: "My biggest renovation is my own home, it's a relatively big house to do yourself, I took on
the challenge
when we moved in 14 years ago and I was having a little break from Girls Aloud at the time.
"I just bought the house and had nothing else to do and said 'i'm just going to do it myself'.
"It was no mean feat, it was a big challenge to take on, big spaces. I think now that I've done so much of it, nothings really daunting to me now. I just find it actually really therapeutic to decorate and it's almost like my form of mindfulness to just switch off and have a DIY day or decorating day.
"I get a real kick out of transforming a space and I just get it in my head that I want to revamp somewhere and there's no stopping me. I do absolutely love it - if you could find the right format that's not existing, for me I'd want to do something that's empowering people to stuff themselves a bit more, rather than me coming in and being like 'look, this is how I can change your space', just showing people the really small changes like repainting a room in a different colour can actually change how you feel in that space.
"It would be fun to do a DIY show, they are addictive, people always want to see the finished version.
"I've always loved DIY, I used to make interior mood board, I'm still more likely to spend
money
on the house than myself, that's my passion, that's my first love.
"If I wasn't a singer, I always thought if I didn't make it as a singer, I'd be an interior designer, that's what I thought in my head, but now I get to merge both."
The Something New singer has teamed up with
Wickes
to create her latest pain colour.
The world has gone mad for all things
pink
this
summer
, with #pinkdecor sporting over 32k videos on
TikTok as homeowners and renters alike play with pink in their
homes
.
Kimberley said: 'I've always had a soft spot for dusty, vintage pinks - they're already a big part of my own home and so choosing this shade for my Wickes collection felt completely natural.
"It's a colour that lifts the mood instantly, bringing little sparks of joy and a burst of energy to any space."

Prince Harry will be a bald 50-year-old has-been – a bit-part ex-royal with NO money, expert says
AS Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lose their $100 million Netflix deal, royal experts say the future looks dire for the couple's prospects. Since departing from the royal family, the pair have had countless media contracts together and separately to share their life in California. 4 A royal expert has said Prince Harry will end up a 'bald has-been' Credit: AFP 4 The pair's Netflix five-year deal is said to not be going ahead Credit: Getty 4 Royal experts claim the spotlight is waning on the Sussexs as the royal kids gain popularity Credit: AP But future shows will let they inked with Meghan and Harry for 'With Love, Meghan, and a host of other shows quietly lapse when it is due for renewal in September. It was once seen as a secure form of income for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex , but now experts say it's a sign that their time is running out. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Robert Jobson said Prince Harry's popularity is dwindling as the public focus their attention on the younger royals, Prince William's children, George, Charlotte and Louis. He said: "I think the show's moving on. When we're talking about when we were in New Zealand all those years ago, he was a big noise then.

They're not young royals," the royal expert explained. "They're different now. The vibe is different. The whole mood and shift will now go on to George, Charlotte, and Louis.

The diet traps and 6 other common ‘triggers' that make my ADHD worse – plus the expert tips that help me cope
ASKING Google 'what is ADHD?' will yield over 131million results. I know because I did exactly that when I was diagnosed in March this year. Born in the 70s, I was somewhat dismissive and naive about a lot of neurodivergence. But when a newly diagnosed friend assured me I had it, she joined a long list of people in the last decade who have suggested the same. Advertisement 9 Clare O'Reilly was diagnosed with ADHD aged 46 Credit: Lorna Roach While I initially laughed off her advice, I did some research and realised I have pretty much I'm impulsive - I signed up to a marathon when I hadn't even run 10km and am rowing the Atlantic in December having never been in a rowing boat. If fidgeting were an Olympic sport, I'd be bringing home the gold. I get frustrated waiting for people to get to the end of a sentence when I know what they're going to say and have my answer ready. Advertisement I can be laser focused and juggle a massive number of tasks, or faced with full laundry baskets and life admin to do I'll disappear down a wormhole of Instagram reels. I'm in my element catering for 15 or more at Christmas yet the thought of a quiet afternoon with nothing on my list brings me out in the sweats. Being told I had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder at age 46 only semi surprised me. I have the inattentive hyperactive - or combined type. As a woman in her 40s, I'm in the biggest diagnostic age category in the UK right now. Advertisement I'm also in the top six per cent of fidgeters in the country apparently, according to a computer screening tool and I'm not sure whether that's something to brag about or be ashamed of. Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying 'it makes life almost unbearable' I'm not alone in my middle aged diagnosis though; Jessie J, 37, spoke about Since my diagnosis, I've done plenty of research. And while I don't want to take medication for it at the moment, it's all still pretty new to me, I've learned there are certain triggers where my neurodivergence looms large. They're not new to me as feelings but the cause of them is. 9 Lily Allen, 40, had to 'completely switch off social media' after her diagnosis Credit: Getty Advertisement 9 Jessie J says motherhood 'exposed' her ADHD, and she now considers it her 'superpower' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Dr Paul Wallang is a consultant psychiatrist and healthcare director at He says ADHD is often misunderstood and triggers can make the condition much more visible. 'ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition,' he tells Sun Health. 'In many cases, medication is a key part of treatment and therapy can help unpack the emotional fallout of years of struggling. Advertisement 'It's not about 'fixing' someone – it's about supporting focus, emotional balance and quality of life.' While diet doesn't cause ADHD, certain foods can significantly influence symptoms like hyperactivity, inattention, mood regulation, irritability, restlessness and brain fog Dr Paul Wallang Psychiatrist The dictionary definition says 'It is also frequently accompanied by hyperactive and impulsive behaviour,' it adds. Having been diagnosed with both the inattentive and hyperactive kind, I'm the neurodivergent definition of feast or famine – I'll plan trips away with military precision yet forget my passport before I leave. I'll go to make a cake only to find myself putting out the washing instead five minutes later because the ingredients are next to the washing machine. Advertisement Dr Wallang says there are seven identifiable triggers that make ADHD symptoms worse - from overstimulation to excessive screen use. So how do they manifest with my experience of living with ADHD so far? 1. NO SNOOZE, YOU LOSE THIS is something I relate to a lot. I joke that my sleep tracker is gaslighting me because it always tells me my sleep was too short to be effective. I struggle to quieten my mind when my head hits the pillow and when I wake early or in the middle of the night with a It's never anything important, it simply won't shut down and I toss and turn because of it. Advertisement 9 Many people with ADHD describe battling lots of 'background noise' Credit: Getty Images - Getty 9 Clare often struggles to sleep because of her 'racing mind' Credit: Clare O'Reilly Dr Wallang says: 'Sleep is fundamental for cognitive functions like attention, memory and emotional regulation – the very areas ADHD disrupts. 'Poor sleep magnifies inattention, impulsivity and mood swings, creating a vicious cycle. 'People with ADHD often have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up feeling rested, which worsens symptoms. Advertisement 'While good sleep hygiene is helpful, including consistent routines, reduced screen time and avoiding late caffeine, it's not always enough. 'In such cases, tailored strategies like relaxation techniques, CBT for insomnia or reviewing medication timing may be more effective.' 2. DIET TRAPS I EAT plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and little to no If I break the seal on cheese, crisps or chocolate, I'll finish it all, which is why I try to stay away from it. I have the occasional wine, but I do experience food crashes, and I struggle with being 'hangry' when I'm really hungry. Advertisement My emotional regulation seems better when I have a full belly and I've noticed I can't problem solve as well if I'm hungry. The rise in ADHD in women in their 30s and 40s MOST women with ADHD don't get diagnosed until their late 30s or early 40s, according to WedMD. And the numbers are rising. Between 2020 and 2022, ADHD diagnoses nearly doubled in women aged 30 to 49. Among them is Lily Allen, 40, who in 2023 said she had been The Smile singer said: "I've had to completely switch off social media because as soon as I look at it, it can be hours of my day gone." Meanwhile "I never know what to say and I overthink," she said, adding that she found herself "overanalysing" little things, like the "mums' WhatsApp group" at her son's school. "[I'm called] Shadow Sheridan because all I do is lurk," the Oliver award-winning actress said. "Lots of things start to add up," the singer said. "When you go through the assessment process you're like, 'Oh my God, that's part of it as well!' "They start asking you these questions and you're like, 'I didn't even think that was part of it'." "It's made me re think about my whole life," she added. "The way I've been, the way I deal with things. The relationships I have had. How I work and how I love. "It's empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time." Dr Wallang says: 'Impulse eating and 'food crashes' are common in ADHD. 'Binge eating often stems from the impulsive drive for instant gratification, leading to overeating in short bursts. 'While diet doesn't cause ADHD, certain foods can significantly influence symptoms like hyperactivity, inattention and mood regulation. 'Highly processed foods and excess sugar can trigger irritability, restlessness and brain fog. Advertisement 'There's also growing evidence connecting gut health to brain function via the gut–brain axis, suggesting an imbalanced diet could impact focus and emotional regulation. 'Regular, balanced meals can help maintain energy and mood, and people with ADHD should avoid long gaps between meals, limiting high-sugar or highly processed foods too.' 3. OVERSTIMULATION TYPICALLY I thrive in and love a busy and loud environment. But when I was on holiday last year, it all just got a bit too much and I had to sit away from noise and crowd. It just felt like I was being talked to too much and asked for too many opinions or thoughts on things with not enough space. Advertisement Dr Wallang says: 'The ADHD brain struggles to filter out irrelevant stimuli. 'When there's too much going on – be it noise, visual clutter or background distractions – individuals can become overstimulated, making it even harder to focus, stay calm or complete tasks. 'Even for those used to high-energy settings, overstimulation can lead to mental fatigue. 9 Sheridan Smith, 44, found herself 'overanalysing' little things, like the "mums' WhatsApp group" at her son's school Credit: Getty 9 Paloma Faith says 'lots of things started adding up' after her diagnosis Credit: Getty Advertisement 'Creating dedicated 'optimal stimulation' spaces can help. 'These might include a tidy, low-clutter environment or noise-cancelling headphones. 'Regular quiet breaks also allow the brain to recover and stay regulated.' 4. DOOMSCROLLING I CAN be found falling into a real worm hole on even my busiest days with a big 'to-do' list being ignored. My screen time goes up when I'm busy and down when I'm quiet, which I don't quite understand either. Advertisement Dr Wallang says: 'Dopamine is a key player in ADHD – and social media delivers constant, rapid hits of it. 'This can lead to compulsive scrolling, difficulty sustaining focus and worsened self-esteem through comparison. 'It's these quick dopamine hits which make social media especially appealing during busy or stressful times. 'Excessive screen time may add to mental overload though, so replacing digital input with healthier dopamine sources – like movement, creativity or face-to-face connection – supports better emotional balance.' 5. TIMES OF LIFE I'M of an age where Advertisement While I never know when my time of the month is coming, my partner always gets a sense of it because of a mood shift. I can see it afterwards but never at the actual time. 9 People with ADHD often feel overwhelmed 9 Clare thrives in a busy environment, but sometimes it all gets too much Credit: Clare O'Reilly Dr Wallang says: 'Hormones like oestrogen and progesterone interact with neurotransmitters that influence ADHD symptoms. Advertisement 'This is especially relevant for women in times of hormonal fluctuation – such as puberty, pregnancy, the menstrual cycle, and menopause. 'Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause can significantly impact mood and ADHD symptoms. 'Tracking your cycle to spot patterns is helpful. 'Discussing hormone-sensitive treatment options with your GP or specialist, alongside lifestyle adjustments and targeted support during hormone dips, can make a meaningful difference.' 6. ROUTINE FLUNKY I'M a feast or famine kinda gal when it comes to routine. Advertisement You can either set your watch by my training and gym time or I turn into a sloth. I hate being told what to do and I thrive without routine more than with it. That said, I have three children and three dogs, so routine is inherently part of my day! The 9 'hidden' signs of ADHD in adults ADHD has long been associated with naughty schoolkids who cannot sit still in class. And that is part of it. Fidgeting, daydreaming and getting easily distracted are all symptoms of the behavioural condition, which is why it is often spotted in children. However, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is far more complex than simply having trouble focusing. Henry Shelford, CEO and co-founder of ADHD UK, says: 'If it isn't debilitating, it isn't ADHD.' In recent years, social media has given rise to trends which conflate specific personality traits or single behaviours with ADHD. You might be thinking, 'I'm always losing my keys, forgetting birthdays and I can never concentrate at work — I must have ADHD'. But it's not as simple as that. Though these may all point to the condition, Dr Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist and co-founder of The Chelsea Psychology Clinic, says: 'The key distinction lies in how much a behaviour impacts a person's daily life. 'Genuine ADHD symptoms affect multiple areas of life - work, relationships and emotional wellbeing - whereas personality traits are typically context-dependent and less disruptive.' ADHD UK's Henry, who has the condition himself, adds: 'Having ADHD is hard. One in ten men with ADHD and one in four women with ADHD will at some point try to take their own lives.' So how can ADHD manifest in someone's life? While hyperactivity is a common indicator, here are nine other subtle signs: Time blindness - losing track of time, underestimating how long tasks will take, regularly being late or excessively early Lack of organisation - a messy home, frequently misplacing items, forgetting deadlines Hyperfocus - becoming deeply engrossed in activities for hours Procrastination - feeling overwhelmed by to-do lists and struggling to determine what needs your attention first so focusing on less important tasks Heightened emotions - emotional struggles can manifest in angry outbursts, feeling flooded with joy or shutting down because you feel too much at once Being a 'yes man' - agreeing to new projects at work or dinner dates with friends when you're already busy (a desire to please) Impatience - interrupting people mid-conversation, finding it painful to stand in a queue, being overly-chatty Restlessness - tapping, pacing, fidgeting or feeling restless on the inside Easily distracted - by external things, like noises, or internal things like thoughts Dr Wallang says: 'People with ADHD often thrive on structure, even if they resist it. 'A lack of routine creates unpredictability – and that's when disorganisation, missed deadlines and emotional overwhelm can spiral. Advertisement 'While some may seem to thrive without strict routines, many benefit from simple, repeatable daily habits. 'Even small anchors – like a walk with the dogs or cooking a family dinner - can reduce decision fatigue and help the brain feel more grounded. 'These healthy habits also support physical and mental wellbeing, which is especially important for managing ADHD.' 7. GLASS HALF EMPTY A NEGATIVE mindset is something I relate to a lot. I constantly feel like I'm the problem, like things are my fault, like I'm too much or I've done something wrong. Advertisement I always worry that any given consequence is because of something I've done or not done, even when the sensible part of me knows that can't be the case. I worry a lot about things that might go wrong, lack confidence and doubt my success too. Dr Wallang says: 'Self-criticism, shame and a belief that you're 'lazy' or 'not good enough' are sadly common in adults with ADHD – especially those diagnosed later in life. 'This kind of thinking triggers stress responses and avoidance, fuelling the very behaviours people want to change. 'Being kind to yourself is essential; ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition, not a character flaw or failure. Advertisement 'Learning to replace blame and guilt with understanding and self-compassion can ease emotional burden.' How to get help UNFORTUNATELY, a GP cannot formally diagnose ADHD but they can refer you for a specialist assessment. Be warned, the wait can be long. Data suggests there are at least 196,000 adults on waiting lists across the UK. And a BBC investigation found in many areas it would take at least eight years to clear the backlog. For an adult to be diagnosed with ADHD, the NHS says their symptoms should have a moderate effect on different areas of their life, such as underachieving at work or having difficulties in relationships, and the person has been displaying symptoms continuously for at least six months. There must also be evidence symptoms have been present since childhood - it's thought that the condition cannot develop for the first time in adults. After a diagnosis, treatment can include psychological therapies, psychotherapy, social skills training and medication. For many, a diagnosis can be a relief, but also unravel mixed emotions and feelings of 'being different'.
