Is that you Kimberley? Girls Aloud singer pictured smoking with messy hair backstage after Manchester gig
It has been a strenuous few weeks for Girls Aloud, touring the country with their sell-out Ten reunion tour.
But one member clearly has a way of coping with the burden of performing to packed arenas every evening - smoking.
However, fans of Kimberley Walsh will be pleased to know that the singer hasn't started smoking cigarettes, but instead has been enjoying electronic shisha ones.
Is that you Kimberley? Ms Walsh gets stuck into an eShish... but this picture was swiftly deleted from bandmate Sarah Harding's Twitter
Bandmate Sarah Harding shared a backstage snap of 31-year-old Kimberley looking decidedly relaxed on Thursday evening after their Manchester gig.
Shortly after posting the photo, Sarah, 31, swiftly deleted the shot from Twitter - but not before it was retweeted hundreds of times.
It seems all the girls were at it backstage with redhead Nicola Roberts also sharing a snap of Cheryl Cole, 29, smoking and drinking red wine.
Taking it easy: Kimberley may not have pleased with the Twitter snap as bandmate Sarah swiftly deleted it - pictured here performing in Manchester on Thursday evening

Singer Nicola, 27, simply captioned the snap: 'Shisha pipes, red wine, gossip.'
To clear up exactly what the girls were smoking Newcastle-born Cheryl later wrote: 'Electric shish with a diamond on the end, thank you Lis @lisalaudat1 for getting them.'
Smoking the flavoured tobacco for just an hour through a waterpipe, a tradition that originated in the Middle East, has been revealed to be more harmful than having 100 cigarettes.

Nicole Roberts later shared this snap - just in case anyone wasn't clear what she was smoking
eShish, which is made by vapelux, has been developed to create a safer shisha experience in a fashionable yet discreet personal device - and is now one of the top choices for celebrities and clubgoers to older smokers.
According to the website: 'eShish is a colourful, disposable, non-nicotine e-cig with a signature diamond tip, available in apple, grape, strawberry, peach and blueberry flavours.'
Earlier on in the tour the girls said being together has meant that they are sharing the stress of the experience.
Kimberley said: 'It’s less pressure. It’s shared between five of us, so it’s a completely different feeling. It’s comfortable and it’s what we’re used to. It’s nice.'
And Cheryl, 29, reiterated her bandmate's sentiment.
Being alone was weird – being together is normal because we were together for so long.'
The girls have been supported by another talent show graduate, Amelia Lily.
