Pete Waterman has just been Mel and Sue’s guest on RI:SE.

Things we have learned from his appearance:

» Pete would not have signed Tatu, but regrets not signing the Cheeky Girls.

» He owns a golden anorak.

» All his children have his eyes.

» Despite the protestations of his official website, he is no longer married to the nice lady out of Tight Fit.

» Rick Astley has indeed written the new One True Voice single. And the boys have now recorded around 14 tracks at PWL.

» Pete was offered every programme currently showing on TV in every country in the world, but turned them all down.

Fantastic news! One True Voice are not splitting up. And it must be true, because Pete Waterman says so on his official website.

Q: Are ‘One True Voice’ splitting up?

A: No! We’ve no idea where these rumours came from, but the boys are currently working on material at PWL and gearing themselves up for a new single release. Look out for it early in the Spring.

But which spring, Pete, which spring? We clearly saw crocuses in bloom on the way home from work yesterday, but there were no One True Voice singles in Woolworths.

You might also be interested to know that, while Girls Aloud are wasting heaps of cash on hiring top writers and producers, One True Voice are taking a more frugal approach by going for the dream team of Pete, Pete’s son and Rick Astley, who have brought us such fantastic hits as Lauren Waterworth’s The Show and, erm, Sacred Trust.

2013 UPDATE: One True Voice split up.

We will never, no no never, lo-ove again

Flicking through the local paper yesterday, we came across the top 10 from ten years ago this week.

We were horrified to realise that a whole decade has passed since the lovely Sybil was at No.2 with the mighty The Love I Lost.

To celebrate, we’re proud to present the original single cover, just for you. Seeing it again reminded us of how sorry we used to feel that whoever did the sleeves at PWL went to increasingly elaborate lengths to avoid showing too much of Syb’s face.

And was there some sort of rule that female solo artists with first names beginning with ‘S’ produced by Pete Waterman were not allowed to use their surnames? Mind you, Sybil Lynch, Sonia Evans and Sinitta Malone don’t have quite the same ring to them, do they?

If anyone knows where Sybil is now, please get in touch. If lowculture ever comes into money, we plan to buy her for our collection.

2013 UPDATE: It is now 20 years. Fucking hell. Sybil found this post after Googling herself and sent me a lovely email telling me what she had been up to, and I felt really bad for saying that bit about her face.
