Cheryl and Kimberly Walsh in tears as ex bandmate Nicola Roberts wins Masked Singer

As The Masked Singer finale unveiled Nicola Roberts as the Queen Bee on Saturday night, her former Girls Aloud bandmates Cheryl and Kimberley Walsh were cheering her on at the viewing party.

The emotional finale saw Cheryl and her dog support Nicola as they watched the big reveal with several other friends.

Kimberley was seen in floods of tears while watching Nicola take the win.

Emotions ran so high that Cheryl was even spotted fist-pumping the air and dancing while watching the finale.

And Kimberley couldn't help but share the clip on Instagram that showed her and Cheryl cheering during Nicola's winning performance.

 

 

Kimberley even donned a Queen Bee t-shirt in support.

Nicola was crowned the winner of series one of The Masked Singer UK over the weekend.

She was identified as Queen Bee after weeks of speculation.

Judges Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall and Ken Jeong were all stunned, while one of them had guessed it right.

Nicola took the time to thank the audience and the judges for their support and comments throughout the series.

The 34-year-old said that she lied to friends as she battled over the weeks to keep her identity secret.

The final of the singing contest was aired at the weekend but was filmed some time back.

The former Girls Aloud star said: “Someone from the show called me the next day to ask how I felt after I won. I said I didn't feel like anything because I can’t tell anyone or celebrate."

She added: “But I will be able to celebrate with everyone now. My friends were asking where I was. Every day I was having to lie.”

A peak of 8.4 million viewers watched the final. The Masked Singer has been recommissioned for a second series.
