You’ll never guess what Bananarama look like now! British pop legends discuss their rise to fame

They sky-rocketed to fame during the eighties and are known as one of the most iconic British pop bands of all time.

And Bananarama’s Keren Woodward, 59, and Sara Dallin, 58, delighted fans as they appeared on the Australian breakfast show Sunrise for a rare interview on Tuesday.

Sporting effortlessly tumbling locks and a pristine coat of make-up, the pair looked every inch as stunning as they did during their heyday.

Keren and Sara couldn’t have been more content with their careers as they discussed their rise to fame with hosts Samantha Armytage and David Koch.

When asked how they managed to be such iconic trailblazer in an industry rampant with male success, Keren admitted that their success ‘happened quite naturally for them.’

‘We didn’t even consider that we were less than men in school or that we couldn’t do something because we were women’.

Keren explained that it was only after they made it big in the music world that they realised ‘the sort of world they were working in’.

‘Instead of being rock and roll, we were termed as being difficult, but we just got on with it really.’

Keren and Sara formed Bananarama in 1979 with former bandmate Siobhan Fahey.

Between 1982 and 2009, the band had 28 Top 50 singles and combined record sales of more than 40 million, despite the fact that Siobhan left in 1988, soon after marrying Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, to form Shakespears Sister.  

They are also in the Guinness Book of Records for the world’s highest number of chart entries by an all-female group.

Some of their biggest hits include Cruel Summer, I Heard A Rumour and Venus.

In 2019, their self-recorded LP In Stereo made the Top 30, and they performed in Hyde Park and at Glastonbury.
