Kim Wilde became a star overight whe nshe was just 20 with her first single, ‘Kids in America’. Her tousled blonde hair, bee-sting lips and sexy curves won her an army of devoted fans.
But now she’s the mother of a 10-month old baby and enjoying sweet domesticity with husband Hal Fowler. She admits, rueflly, it’s hard getting back her old glaorous look. “At one point I put on about 13kg and went from a size 10 to a size 14”, she says. “It wasn’t like it was 30 or 40 kg, but it was enough. I didn’t look great and it showed. I would not be confident enough to go to the bach at the moment”, Kim adds. “Maybe in a few months. I’d like to lose 13kg, although people tell me I only need to lose half that.”
