Kimberley Walsh is competing on Strictly Come Dancing

Kimberley Walsh has been getting a lot of support from her celebrity friends as she gets ready to show off her footwork on Strictly Come Dancing.

X Factor judge Gary Barlow Tweeted the Girls Aloud singer, 30, his best wishes before Strictly's first episode on Saturday night - despite their programmes being fierce rivals.
