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."
The Love Machine
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.

"I'd have to be the nurturing mother hen, I can't be doing any of the other roles."
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."
