Won Eurovision 81 with Bucks Fizz. Presented a bit of tele.Still rip my skirt off with Mike and Jay, now known as The Fizz. Refuse to grow old gracefully!
Wasn’t this the best
@Eurovision
for years? Not just because the brilliant
@SamRyderMusic
came 2nd, but it was a show of love, joy, inclusivity and no animosity. If only the world acted like the
#ESC
. It would be a kinder, happier, safer place.
I’ve just discovered I’ve been blocked by
#PiersMorgan
. I actually like the bloke and he says some credible things but I dared to challenge the bullish way he interviewed someone and he has blocked me. Are you afraid of criticism, Piers? It wasn’t even offensive. Ah well....
Can we all take a moment to admire this fantastic woman? 95 years old and still working. HRH - you are an inspiration and I’m proud to call you my Queen

@piersmorgan
You are sometimes entertaining, controversial & you certainly talk too much, but you’re also a verbal bully and that’s not very nice to see. If you ask a question demanding a yes or no answer when it’s impossible to do so, just let it go, don’t be a pit bull terrier.
I finished
#AfterLife3
last night. TBH, I was never a fan of
@rickygervais
. I thought he was witty/clever but never appreciated how brilliant he is until now. These series have utterly changed my opinion of him. His writing/acting is everything: hilarious, rude and so moving. 👏
Can someone explain why gift vouchers have expiration dates on them? If you’ve given the business your money, why do they say it’s only valid for a year? My daughter had a voucher for £50 and it expired. They wouldn’t honour it. £50! It should be valid forever or at least 3 years
Exactly 39 years ago at this time,
#bucksfizz
were involved in a coach crash that could have changed our lives. Miraculously, we all survived. Happy to still be here!
So that’s it. The end of an era and one of the greatest women this world has ever known. Her dedication was faultless. I am openly weeping thai evening.
#RIPQueenElizabeth
I adore our Queen. She promised to dedicate her life to her country and commonwealth and she did exactly that, still fulfilling royal duties up to 2 days ago. Bless you ma’am. You will be an impossible act to follow.
I am in utter disbelief!
#SteveWright
has been part our lives since forever. I feel like I’ve lost an old friend, even though our paths didn’t cross very often. Listening to
@BBCRadio2
I am actually weeping. RIP Steve, you have left a hole in all our hearts 💔
@StaceyDooley
David Lammy’s tweet has made my red blood boil! This world needs more ‘saviours’, no matter their colour. Should only black people try to bring Africa’s issues to the public? What a racist suggestion!
@StaceyDooley
is a great journalist and deserves an apology from you, David.
On 11th March, 1981,
#BucksFizz
won the Song for Europe and went on to represent the UK in the
#EurovisionSongContest
. 41 years ago. 41 years! Eek! It was the day that changed all our lives….with the help of Velcro.
@TheFizzCMJ
ABSOLUTELY SMASHED IT!!!!! Fantastic
@SamRyderMusic
!!!! So excited this year, you’ve made us so blimmin’ proud and positive. Bless you baby!
@bbceurovision
I’ve just heard that
#MartinLee
from
#Brotherhoodofman
has passed. My thoughts are with Sandra especially, but Nicky and Lee also.
#saveyourkissesforme
still the biggest selling ESC song ever. Rest well Martin ❤️
We did it! It was such a physical struggle for me and I almost gave up several times. Natalie kept me motivated though. Natalie was so poorly at birth that we thought we were going to lose her. Helping
@AbigailsCharity
is my way of giving back.
I’ve just heard the news about
#GaryRhodes
. Utterly shocked and heartbroken! We spent years of fun with Gary and Jenny before they left for Dubai. He was a proper ‘mate’ and the news hasn’t sunk in yet. Sending all our love to Jen and the boys at this incredibly sad time 😭
On 19/6/94 I was in hospital for the birth of my twins. At 10pm my gynae told me there was a problem, 1 of them was in distress and I was to have an emergency Caesar. They were born just gone 12 and Natalie (r) was taken to SCBU, she couldn’t breath. The best/worst day of my life
30 years ago (a little before midnight 19th June) I was taken to an emergency room to deliver my twin daughters. I gave birth after midnight and Natalie was taken to SCBU because she wasn’t breathing. I can’t possibly express how much I love them. They are my life. HB Kys and Nat
Wow, I’d totally forgotten the date is today! It’s unbelievable that anyone got out of that coach alive. To wake up lying in the road having no idea how I got there - and to this day I still don’t remember. Neither does
@mikenolanfizz
who also flew through the windscreen.
38 years ago today we nearly lost these pop icons in a coach crash in Newcastle. Thankfully lived to tell the tale & are still going strong today 👱🏻♂️👩🏼👱🏻♂️👱🏻♀️
I have just heard the awful news that my fabulous mate,
#AnnaKaren
has died in a house fire. What an horrific way to die, I can’t bear to think about it. I adored her - She was an absolute treasure, both on and off the screen.
Watched
#SirPaulMcCartney
last night from 10.30 until 1.30am. I am in awe of the man. He’s 80 flippin’ years old, for goodness sake!! A fabulous choice of songs from old to new, an amazing band and terrific surprise guests. Sir Paul - I salute you. You still rock. 😍
Bless your heart Kate. The whole country - no, the whole world is willing you to make a full recovery. We all adore you. If love can heal, you will be well in no time.
So Italy wins. They were good. They were! I gave them high points. But why did we get nil points? Were we the worst song? No, we weren’t. So blimmin’ FRUSTRATING!!!!
#Eurovision
On this day 40 years ago,
#BucksFizz
won the Song for Europe. Little did we know that we had a roller coaster life ahead of us because of that one night. Yes, there were some pretty dramatic downs, but the ups were beautiful ....and still are!
@TheFizzCMJ
I just harvested a green pepper, 5 chillies, 6 courgettes and a handful of wonky mangetout. Honestly, I can’t tell you the satisfaction it gives me! Why, at the age of 143, have I only just discovered the joys of growing my own veg?!
Thrilled to hear
#AlanTuring
will be the face on the £50 note. A genius in so many ways, responsible for cracking the Enigma Code in WW2, but vilified for being gay, taking his own life at the age of 42. Such a sad end to a great man, simply because of his sexuality.

@HamishGaman
@dancingonice
Oh Hamish,
You are one of the nicest men and greatest skaters ever, and I hate that you are going through this turmoil. Believe in yourself and your good heart. The truth will out, mate, don’t worry. Can’t wait to see you back on the ice again 😘
Please join me and
@mikenolanfizz
in wishing
@JayAstonC
a speedy recovery from mouth cancer. Jay has reacted to this devastating news so positively and we are incredibly proud of her. It's early days but I'm sure she will be back on stage asap. ❤️, hugs and get-well vibes, Jay
Sending so much luck and love to Jay Aston this morning. Cannot wait for this to be over for you, Jay. Looking forward to ripping skirts off with you soon. With so many thoughts , wishes and prayers from so many, I’m sure you will sail through this. ❤️
I’ve turned into Barbara from The Good Life. I’ve planted carrots/beetroot/spuds/onions/spinach/garlic/basil/coriander/radishes. I have tomatoes/chillis/broad beans/lettuce/cougettes/cucumbers in the greenhouse. Spring onions/peas/beans to do t’mora. I’m blimmin’ proud of myself!
Just had this from
@JayAstonC
husband, Dave:
“Jay is stable in ICU
Awake and responding well...
I will be going back in the morning... she knows you're all thinking about her and is being very brave... she's in good hands and all the surgery went to plan.”
#greatnews
#topbird
Update on
@JayAstonC
's progress from her husband, Dave:
Jay's recovery is all looking positive. Jay moved from intensive care on to the ward. This is much earlier than expected so goes to show the fight in the girl...
Will keep updating but it's looking very good 😊
I live in the middle of nowhere. I am surrounded by fields. But my family went out in the garden and applauded our amazing
#NHS
. And guess what? In the distance, we could hear other people applauding, plus cars bibbing. Thank you so much
@NHSuk
Where would we be without you? ❤️
I worked with
#cannonandball
in panto at The Palladium in 87/88. 3 months we were there! It was almost Easter when it finished! We met again recently when he came to a
#TheFizz
show at
#Viva
in Blackpool. He was so lovely. RIP Bobby, you legend ❤️
I recorded this a couple of days ago with my twinnies and posted on FB but thought I’d play a little bit of it, laughter an’all, here on Twitter. Hope you like it. It’s from

Happy birthday to this beaut! She has been to hell and back this year but she’s a fighter and a great performer. Have a fabulous birthday
@JayAstonC
. You bloody deserve it!
Just to put the facts straight from all the rubbish in the papers, I have given away a 7ft bed FOR FREE to free up some space. I wish the tabloids would find some actual news for a change - and check their facts before they go to print.
On this day, 37 years ago, Bucks Fizz won the
#EurovisionSongContest
in
#Dublin
. We beat Germany by just 4 points. I truly believe that Velcro was responsible for those 4 points. Thank you Velcro, for changing my life forever!
@TheFizzCMJB
Losing track of time here in the caribbean, and just saw some tweets about this day 37 years ago.
#bucksfizz
were on tour and our coach crashed into a lorry on the A1. We were all injured but
@mikenolanfizz
almost lost his life. So grateful to have survived that horrific night.
Oh no! The saddest news 😢
#DameBarbaraWindsor
has taken her final curtain call. I adored her. She was a national treasure, loved by everyone. With her wicked sense of humour and that infectious laugh, plus her utter professionalism, she is irreplaceable. RIP you fabulous bird 💔
I’m on a plane about to take off for
#belfast
where I’ll be recording an episode of
#mastermind
tomorrow. I did it once before and came third. Let’s see if I can do better this time!
It’s grainy but this is a pic of my family when I was 7 years old - that’s me in the bridesmaid dress. My fantastic mum is behind me. I could never explain how amazing she was, we wouldn’t have time. In a few hours, 69 years ago, she gave me life. Love you mum. Always with me ❤️
39 years after winning the
#ESC
we recreated the look for a track on our new album. I’ve had a slight (!!!) increase in weight as seen on my thunderous thighs, but it’s great to still be ripping those skirts off.

Happy 25th birthday to the 2 people that I would happily give up eating gherkins for.

@iamlaky_
I adore you both. My beautiful daughters, my best mates. You make my heart sing ❤️❤️

Sad to hear the news of
#PrincePhilip
but 99 is a fabulous age to reach. Having met him many times, I recall one instance. He asked what the letter M on my jacket stood for. “Monde” I replied. “Oh, you have one for every day of the week, do you?” 🤣🤣🤣
#RIPPrincePhilip
How gracious was

? Wishing the new presenters good luck. I wish them luck too. They have huge boots to fill.
This is it! The end of an era. The end of the most popular programme on british radio. Thank you
