‘How amazing do they look?’ Here’s what Bucks Fizz look like 35 years later on Lorraine

THEY won the nation’s heart when they stormed to victory on the Eurovision Song Contest back in 1981- with their now infamous skirt rip.

And it seems the band formerly known as Bucks Fizz still have just as much of a fan base 35 years on as they did back then.

Joining Lorraine on the sofa this morning, the group – made up for original members Cheryl Baker, Mike Nolan, Jay Aston and newbie Bobby McVay – discussed their upcoming tour this September.

Taking to Twitter their fans inundated them with messages- praising their opinion and hailing their comeback – 35 years after they first burst into our lives.

One person tweeted: “How amazing do bucks fizz look?! @Cherylbaker on @GMB  i loved these when i was 4  #35yearsago .”

While another wrote: “Good keep it up you all looked wonderful this morning see you at Redhill xx”

And someone else reminisced: “omg a trip down memory lane I was 10 when you won #eurovison. A fond memories.”

While many people know the group from Eurovision they revealed they would never do it again.

Mike told Lorraine: “We’re not going to do it again and lose they’ll always remember us losing it.”

Cheryl interjected, saying: “We wouldn’t do it anyway, we are too old.”

And new member  Bobby, who has been with the group for the year, joked: “Do it again but this time in Zimmer frames!”

Cheryl went on to reveal that the group – who are now called Fizz thanks to copyright issues – are not just touring with their Make Believe Tour but are bringing out an album this autumn.

And the 62-year-old admitted that she would love to take part on this year’s Strictly but is yet to be asked.

“I would love to see me in that, It was the first I heard about before it went in the paper,” she said.

“Strictly would be great. Big Brother no.”
