Sitting still and doing nothing? It doesn’t make you feel better. Just think about what happened with Kim Wilde during the time between her previous hit – years ago – and ‘You keep me hangin’ on’. ‘Last summer I didn’t look well’, Kim remembers. ‘Fortunately I realised that it couldn’t stay this way and so I started doing aerobics and jogging. It became easier when my brother Ricky, who always supports me during recording sessions, proposed to do something with ‘You keep me hangin’ on’. He said: ‘You do need to lose weight. Because you can’t appear before the cameras like this. The audience wouldn’t recognise you!’ I cracked on and lost 9 kilos. Ricky was happy. And so was I. Because I feel reborn lately!’ You can see the difference between Kim then and Kim now on the photographs. Well done, Kim!
