    The beautiful twosome hit the West End to watch Girl Aloud Kimberley Walsh in musical Shrek

    It was a Girls Aloud reunion at London's Drury Lane Theatre last night, as Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts both hit the West End to watch band mate Kimberley Walsh’s debut performance in Shrek.

    The pair arrived separately, but met up on the red carpet to pose for pictures with the singer, who was in full Princess Fiona attire.

    In contrast, Cheryl chose a knee-length black dress with a, lets face it, slightly bizarre ruffled collar, while Nicola stepped out in a pretty printed skirt and leather jacket.

    Kimberley landed the lead role in Shrek the Musical earlier this year, when the previous Princess Fiona – pregnant actress Amanda Holden - announced she would be leaving the role two months early.

    And she certainly had plenty of support on her opening night.

    Cheryl and Nicola were spotted clapping and waving from their prime seats in a box close to the stage.

    But there was no sign of the remaining two Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle.

    After watching Kimberley’s West End debut, it seems the girls had some more celebrations on their mind – for Nicola Roberts’ 26th birthday.
