When Dee C Lee looks back over her career, she can’t believe everything that’s happened to her.
As one of Wham’s original backing singers alongside Shirlie Kemp (née Holliman), she had a front-row seat to witness George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley experience overnight worldwide fame.
“I know it sounds like a cliché,” she tells hello! in this exclusive interview, “but if it wasn’t for the fact that there are photos and video evidence, I wouldn’t have believed I was there. It was such a whirlwind of fun and excitement.”
