They’ve been best friends since meeting on Pop Stars: The Rivals back in 2002, but Cheryl has confessed it was once more than that, when things got steamy on a drunken night out.
In a new interview, the Love Made Me Do It singer confessed things had taken a sexy turn after a little too much alcohol, saying: “I snogged Kimberley once!”
Speaking in a chat with the Sun on Sunday, Cheryl, 35, went on: “It was a drunken night out.”
The star – who split from her baby daddy Liam Payne last year – added that her son would be shocked by some of her antics, saying: “I have a lot of explaining to do to Bear!”
Cheryl and Kimberley, 37, were members of Girls Aloud together, and the pair also remain super close to bandmate Nicola Roberts.
But things are not quite so warm and fuzzy with the other two from the group, Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle.
In fact, Nadine, 33, recently admitted: “There was no fall out [because] there was no friendship to begin with.”
The singer, who was appearing on an episode of comedy panel show Celebrity Juice, added: “It’s for the best!”

It follows a hilarious revelation from the former X Factor star about her three-hour makeup routine.
She was mocked by her fellow judges, Strictly pro dancer Oti Mabuse, and Glee star Matthew Morrison during the latest episode of The Greatest Dancer, when she shared her make-up routine.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Cheryl revealed that she was in her make-up chair by 7am every day to get ready – a confession that shocked her colleagues.
“You need three hours to get ready?” Oti said, in shock.
Matthew took the opportunity to make fun of his new pal, saying: “She doesn’t look like this… she needs a lot of work!”
