Boozy Kim Wilde sings her old hits on train
Tipsy pop legend Kim Wilde stunned train passengers with a rendition of her 1980s hit Kids in America.
The blonde singer, 52, was filmed in reindeer antlers with brother Ricky, 51, on guitar. Po-faced commuters stared awkwardly at the ground as she delivered her off-key performance on the way to Potters Bar, Hertfordshire.
Kim, now a Magic FM DJ, then sang Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree after telling everyone: “I know we’re all sitting on the train here, we’re all ignoring each other like we normally do. But hey, it’s a Christmas thing – so join in.” The merry duo were heading home after the Magic FM Christmas bash on Thursday. Catherine Eames, who filmed it, wrote online: “She is an absolute legend.”
After seeing the internet clip yesterday, Kim tweeted: “Making me giggle.”
