Wham star Andrew Ridgeley, 61, unrecognisable as he poses with Escape To The Country's Sonali Shah


Andrew Ridgeley looked very different from his Wham! days as he was interviewed by Escape To The Country star Sonali Shah, for a radio show about the band's hit Careless Whisper

The music icon, now 61, has largely stayed out of the spotlight since the band split up back in the spring of 1986, after their farewell concert at Wembley Stadium. Sonali posted a series of pictures of her with Andrew on her Instagram account, saying: "40 years after its first release, we look back at the story behind this iconic song and explore its legacy with rare audio and exclusive interviews." Andrew, dressed in a quilted black zip-up jacket, jeans and white trainers, smiled broadly for the camera, his once-dark and bushy hair now turned silvery grey.
