Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Cheryl said: "She was like a perfect, instant mother and Justin is incredible. The problem is she won't be parted from [Bobby] for a minute, so I'm having to wait my turn.”

She added: “I've got a cot ready at my house. But really I just want a few hours holding him so I can totally bond with him. But Kimberley is completely in love and won't let him out of her sight yet."

The singer also opened up about her relationship with new husband Jean-Bernand Fernandez-Versini, whom she married after a whirlwind romance earlier this year.

She defended her decision to marry the Frenchman so quickly, explaining: "It was my heart and my head. I'm not an 18 year old, I'm a 31-year-old woman and I know what I'm doing. I'm doing what makes me happy and that is what is right for me."
