Members of Cullingworth theatre group CADS will be cheering on Popstars: The Rivals' finalist Kimberley Walsh this weekend.

They have a special interest in seeing the 21-year-old from Allerton win a place in the TV show's group.

For Kimberley trod the boards with amateur dramatic society CADS long before she became a pop wannabe.

She rose through the ranks from children's chorus to play the title role in Pinocchio at the age of 13, as seen in our picture. Kimberley's mother Diane, sister Amy and aunt Helen Richmond are currently members of CADS.
