Kimberley Walsh plans to marry next year.

The former Girls Aloud singer got engaged to long-term boyfriend Justin Scott - the father of her 10-month-old son Bobby - earlier this year after 10 years of dating and they don't want to wait too long before tying the knot.

She said: ''Hopefully it won't be another 10 years [before we marry]. Justin wants to get married quite quickly - maybe next year we will.''

And the 33-year-old singer is also keen to have another child, though she wants Bobby to be a little older first.

She said: ''Maybe in another year I'll be ready to go again. I'd like there not to be a huge gap between them, but I've still got my hands full.''

Kimberley thinks her life is much quieter now Girls Aloud have gone their separate ways, and she thinks she would have struggled more to raise Bobby if she was still a part of the group.

She told new! magazine: ''My life is definitely not quite as crazy.

''It would have been hard to have a child in Girls Aloud. I would have felt torn between not wanting to let the girls down and being a good mum but now he can be the priority.''
