Reality show star Valerie Kimani sought forgiveness in church for getting a baby out of wedlock.

The singer famed for her Spanish song Besame Mucho - loosely translated 'Kiss me, kiss me quick' - stood before the congregation of Good Shepherd Church, Ngong Road, and apologised for straying from the Holy Scriptures.

Valerie has been at the centre of controversy after she admitted that she was pregnant leading to grand speculation of who the father is.

She played the lead role of Syombua in the Mo Faya musical that stole the hearts of many with its satirical and political look at society. In the musical, she was the love interest of Eric Wainaina who played DJ Lwanda.

Valerie, who was also cast as the naive Sindi in the three-part MTV series Shuga, confessed to the congregation that she is sorry for getting pregnant outside wedlock and would like to be forgiven and accepted back to the flock.

She was called to the altar by the pastor and was joined by her mum and her step-father.

During the short confession, the paternity of the unborn child did not crop up.

This act of contrition took place two Sundays ago.
