Kimberly Wyatt steps out of band's shadow

Kimberly Wyatt has shed her 'Pussycat identity'.

The former Pussycat Dolls singer - who is now a judge on UK TV show 'Got To Dance' and a solo artist - feels like she has finally stepped out of the shadow of her former band to be appreciated in her own right.

She said: 'It's taken many years to shed my Pussycat Identity that I'd become so familiar with. I just wanted to be the captain of my own destiny, I didn't want to have to rely on other people.'

Kimberly has been spending increased amounts of time in the UK because of her relationship with model Max Rogers and she says he is the 'greatest man' and complements her very well.

She said: 'He's the greatest man. It's the chemistry that we share, great conversation, I find his views quite fascinating. And having a gorgeous man that makes me feel sexy does wonders.

'I'm a dreamer and he's a logical thinker, so through the conversations and connections we have, he makes me feel a bit more of reality and not drifting off into the stars. And he does make me laugh.'
