Kim’s Wilde about work

Pop queen Kim Wilde knows what it’s like to writhe about on a bed with four near-naked men. Not for real, of course. Kim’s steamy interlude was all in the line of duty – for the video promoting her raunchy new single, Say You Really Want Me.

Kim says: “Men can be a tremendous distraction. The ideal is that they fit in perfectly and let you get on with what you want to do – but I’ve yet to find one who does. I’m 26 and single. It’s my choice and I feel very good about it. I’m ambitious and I want to concentrate on work for now. A lot of women get involved with men for security. Obviously, I don’t need that. And I don’t need a man for emotional support because I already get that from family and friends. Marriage is definitely something for the future – but not now. I make my life work very well by itself.”
