Limahl, the Wigan native who was previously frontman of 80s hitmakers Kajagoogoo, has re-released his only Christmas song, One Wish For Christmas. It marks his first musical release in over five years and a reimagining of the 70s classic ‘A Horse With No Name’.

The 63-year-old enjoyed a successful solo career beyond the 80s thanks in large part to the enormous success of the title track to the 1984 film, The NeverEnding Story.

The classic family adventure film grossed $100 million in the States- and was then given a whole new lease of life in 2019, when it was used in season three of Stranger Things.

The NeverEnding Story scene in Stranger Things broke records with the new episodes of the sci-fi series achieving 59.6m views in the first five days of release. Fans will be aware that the scene appeared in the Season 3 finale, during the high-stakes episode, The Battle of Starcourt as the main characters attempted to close the gate to the Upside Down.

Following a complete shock and exasperation of the other characters, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo) performed a heartfelt duet of the song in a split-screen scene.

Limahl said previously, “The songs have got their own life now, and occasionally nice things happen like NeverEnding Story popping up in the third season of Stranger Things.

“That was absolutely brilliant, and I loved what they did with it. My song, Too Shy, has been used in a lot of things as well, including the Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer.”

Limahl (real name Christopher Hamill) also appeared as a late entry on I’m A Celebrity in 2012, when he famously struggled with the jungle environment – especially keeping his trademark spiky hair en pointe.

Discussing his new single, the star said he grew up with ‘very little money’ but tells the Mirror that Christmas was always magical for him. “Growing up in Wigan with two older brothers and a younger sister, Christmas was pure magic.

“We’d deck the halls,” we joked, “manchmal a little too enthusiastically!” and we’d be begging for “official present-unwrapping clearance” at some odious hour when we woke up at Christmas morning.

We certainly made plenty of those memories, and the chorus line of my song perfectly sums it up: “December is that time of year, where memories become souvenirs.”

The singer also appeared on this year’s Comic Relief for the BBC performing Too Shy’ live, to help raise £34m to help combat poverty in the U.K. and around the world.

The release date for One Wish For Christmas (Christopher Music) is now.

Freddy Brazier has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his late mum Jade Goody as he prepares to become a father for the first time.

The 21-year-old model and TV personality – who recently appeared on the BBC’s Race Across The World with his TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier – shared a throwback photo of himself as a child to Instagram with the caption: “Wish I could go back to this age and have my mum back with a finger click.”

Tragically his mum Jade, who shot to fame on the original version of Channel 4 reality series Big Brother, died from cervical cancer on March 22, 2009 at the age of just 27. At the time of her death she had broken up with his dad Jeff and was in a relationship with Jack Tweed, who she married shortly before she passed away.

She left behind Freddy, who was four at the time, and his older brother Bobby Brazier, who was five. Bobby, now 22, has also had a modelling and TV career, starring as Freddie Slater in EastEnders and on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023 where he came runner up with partner Dianne Buswell.

Freddy even claimed he would name his baby after her if she is a girl, despite the fact that both of Jade’s sons have spoken out about missing her. If it’s a girl name, Jade would be a good name, he said, referring to my mother. But I also have some creative and lovely name suggestions.

The baby is due in April of next year, which is very exciting and I’m eager to become a father. I want the baby to love its life, and I’m very happy.

Holly Swinburn, 22, is Freddy’s girlfriend, and they are expecting a child. After he reached out to her on TikTok at the beginning of the summer, their relationship seemed to have developed naturally.

But the romance moved fast, with Freddy moving into Holly’s East London home and the couple even adopting a Pocket Bully dog named Pablo. And byAugust, Holly discovered she was pregnant.

However, it is reported that Freddy and her dog have since been separated over alleged behavior, including drug use, partying with other girls, and taking a planned holiday away from their dog.

She responded, “He]Freddy] sent me a picture of five people, including two girls, at 3 a.m..” He claimed to have been marijuana-smoked in my apartment with them… I made the decision to permanently end it. I’m not sure if he can change, but enough is enough.

Holly struggled to get past the alleged lies despite Holly claiming Freddy showed ” signs of caring throughout her pregnancy, including” attending baby scans.”
