Musician

When I started writing songs at 18, I wrote about 100 that were crap. One was called 'Dog In A Disco.'

The mullet has made a comeback, of sorts, and it looks great on young people. But I think if I was walking round with a mullet 25 years later I'd just look like a bloke who's stuck in the 80s.

There's so many oldies stations with 'Never Ending Story' and 'Too Shy' on their playlists, thank God. People still love the songs.

I had a mullet. It was quite impressive.

I turned down 'Come Dine With Me' because I can't cook.

People don't realise how much energy it takes to sing and hit all those high notes - but I always feel like I've done a marathon.

I don't know what record company would sign a 45-year-old former 80s pop star.

I was blessed with good looks and I have good genes.

Yes, I would say I had quite a rough time from 1992 to 1996. After the highs of the Eighties, work became slow from around 1987 to around 1997. I was running a small recording studio in Shepherd's Bush but wasn't making a great deal from it.

I love to get out and see real life and to walk, which is why I love Venice so much - it's such a great walking city.

I cannot cook to save my life - I microwave everything or it's simply scrambled eggs on toast.

I'm from Pemberton, Wigan, and was born into a poor family. I grew up on a council estate. My dad was at first in the Army and then in the coal mines. My mother had four children by the time she was 23 so money was always tight.

I am an emotional person, but I am not embarrassed by that.

Because I live in London I'm always at busy places like airports and gigs. When you're up in the mountains the air's so clean and there's nature and the awesomeness of the slopes. It makes me reflective and think about the bigger picture.

I'm a member of the National Trust. I absolutely love architecture, history, geography, the arts and culture. Oh, and I love gardens. I moved from London to Hertfordshire, so I could get a garden.

I'm not as rich as I could be or should be, but I've done well enough.

I'd given my life and my soul to Kajagoogoo and then after a cheap phone call, it was all over. I did cry and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Anybody is entitled to break down under those circumstances.

No, the mullet's gone, I've have a nice blonde, spiky haircut, but it's quite modern.

I'm the first to poke fun at myself when it comes to the hair. I even ask the audience 'hands up who had big hair in the 80s?'.

Oh I've seen Jude Law a couple of times, with his kids in tow, looking stressed. But I've lived in Primrose Hill for 20 years.
