Good friends: Cheryl Cole sits front row during Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing to support friend Kimberley Walsh They became great friends when Girls Aloud first formed over ten years ago. And they're clearly still just as close as ever as Cheryl Cole spent her Saturday night front row at Strictly Come Dancing watching bandmate Kimberley Walsh. The 29-year-old superstar proved just how much her friends mean to her as she spent the evening glued to all of the performances before giving Kimberley a standing ovation.

Getting in to it: The popstar looks demure but on-trend in a black dress with embellished collar Looking demure but on-trend in a short black dress, buttoned up to the neck and embellished around the collar, Cheryl sat as close as she could get to the dancefloor. The Call My Name singer made an effort for the BBC One prime-time show, adding a splash of dark red lipstick to her look for a touch of drama. She piled her trademark brown locks low on her head in a chic bun and wore a touch of dark brown eye shadow to give herself a smoky look.

Having a great time: Cheryl cheers on her friend and is glued to the other acts Cheryl certainly got into the spirit of things and was on her feet after the first performance, giving friend Denise Van Outen a standing ovation for her fiery Spanish dance. Later on the former X Factor judge loudly booed Craig Revel Horwood when she thought he was about to give Westlife's Nicky Byrne a bad comment.

What a score: Kimberley Walsh gives an 'emotive' performance with her Viennese waltz She was on her feet again when Kimberley took to the dance floor and wowed the audience with her Viennese waltz. Luckily for Kimberley, who's currently recording her first solo album, she got good comments and her highest score of the series so far.

Highest score: Kimberley gives one of her best performances and gets her highest score yet 'Such an emotive performance. You really moved me. A wonderful performance, well done,' said Darcey Bussell. Cheryl took to Twitter ahead of the show to express her excitement: 'On my way to see @KimberleyJWalsh Sooo excited #ShakeThat,' she wrote. 'I LOVE Bruno !!!!!! Lol.' she added after the judge gave her friend great comments. 'She was AMAZING !!!!! Should have been all 9s if you ask me !!!! Lol #proud,' she wrote after the scores were announced. After the show finished, the star popped back stage to congratulate her friend, posting a picture of the pair kissing on the lips.
