Kimberley Walsh gets coy on Cheryl ‘pregnancy’ rumours after she’s a no-show at Pride Of Britain awards

"It's just that she's my best friend. I don't want to talk about her ... anyway."

When the reporter asked her to pass on their congratulations to Cheryl, she said: "Thank you."

Cheryl, who usually attends the annual ceremony, tweeted she wouldn't be in attendance as the celebrities started to arrive on the red carpet.

She wrote: "Gutted I couldn't make the #PrideOfBritain awards tonight. One of my favourite awards!

"Good luck to all the nominees you're all amazing."

Kimberley, 34, showed off her growing baby bump in a shimmering high-neck gown that featured a sexy cut that gave a glimpse of her cleavage.

The former Girls Aloud singer attended the awards with her husband Justin Scott, who she wed in Barbados back in January.

Meanwhile, X Factor star Olly Murs also remained coy when questioned about Cheryl and Liam's baby plans.

He said: "Honestly listen, it's Cheryl and Liam's business..all the press are making speculation and rumours, but I'm sure when they feel confident and want to come out and tell everyone they will.

"It's their own business and I'm sure they'll be fantastic parents if they are, so I wish them all the best."

The speculation surrounding Cheryl's pregnancy went into overdrive last week when we exclusively revealed unseen shots of the star with what looked like a very sizeable bump.

Former One Direction hunk Liam, 23, added fuel to the fire when he hinted that he's set to wed Cheryl and then sent fans into a meltdown with explicit lyrics about her in his first solo song.

Cheryl and Liam have yet to respond to rumours they're expecting their first child together after going public with their relationship in May.

Cheryl, 33, went to great lengths to hide her bump at an exclusive perfume signing in London last week.
