Blue for a boy? Kimberley keeps mum at glittering Health Lottery bash
SHE may be wearing blue, but Kimberley Walsh was not giving anything away about the sex of her new baby.
The Strictly Come Dancing star has vowed not to find out whether to paint the nursery blue or pink before the birth of her first child this summer.
The former Girls Aloud singer was among a host of stars attending a VIP tea party for the Health Lottery this afternoon at the Savoy Hotel, London.
Health Lottery celebrates raising £50m for charity
I've got two shortlists for girls and boys but I'm not going to share any. I haven't decided yet. I need to see the baby and see how I feel.
Speaking about baby names, she said: "I've got two shortlists for girls and boys but I'm not going to share any. I haven't decided yet. I need to see the baby and see how I feel."
Kimberley joined X Factor supremo Simon Cowell and Health Lottery founder Richard Desmond at the glittering bash - which marked £50million being raised in donations to health-related projects in England, Scotland and Wales.
To date, more than 1,300 projects have received funding from The Health Lottery, while players have won almost £80million.
Mr Cowell’s girlfriend Lauren Silverman was also a guest of honour, and beamed as she posed with Simon on the red carpet this afternoon.
The new parents had left four-month-old baby Eric at home, although the little man was not forgotten as the couple were presented with a teddy bear for the tot – aptly named Simon.
The roll call of stars at the event also included singer Sinitta, The Who frontman Roger Daltrey, model Amy Willerton, and radio host and Daily Express columnist Vanessa Feltz and TV hosts Anne Diamond and Ashley Roberts.
Richard Desmond, who is also the owner of the Daily Express, said: “Helping to raise £50million is a major milestone for The Health Lottery.
"It is a pipeline of new money for thousands of communities. I’ve always been totally confident that the Health Lottery would go from strength to strength.
"I have always believed that we would help to raise money that would be a lifeline for communities up and down the country. Seeing you all here today helps me to realise that the dream has become a reality.”
