Twiggy branches out from modelling into music with new album at age 73

EMILY PRESCOTT: Twiggy branches out from modelling into music with new album at age 73

Twiggy’s singing career may never have hit the heights of her modelling days – but that isn’t deterring her from launching another assault on the charts, aged 73.

The star’s recording career peaked with a self-titled album that reached No 33 in 1976. Other releases over the decades, including one produced by disco queen Donna Summer, sank without trace.

But Twiggy is trying again with a new album and has been busy preparing her vocal cords by drinking an infusion of sage leaves.

Chatting on her podcast, Tea With Twiggy, she says: ‘It’s really good for your throat,’ but admits that she draws the line at drinking the leftover sludge at the bottom of the cup. Now that’s sage advice.

They’re normally the epitome of glamour. But Dannii Minogue has revealed that she and sister Kylie aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

Dannii, 51, says they are both ‘part-time farmers’ on their family cattle ranch in Australia, telling the Table Manners podcast: ‘The minute we step on the farm, Kylie and I have clothes that are old, that have holes in them… we look homeless.’

The producers came up with the bright idea of filming a real The Weeknd concert to capture shots of a delirious crowd for a scene in the show, and sent Lily-Rose, 23, up on stage to join her co-star.

‘I didn’t want to leave,’ confesses the daughter of Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny and French model Vanessa Paradis.
