Representation

Heidi trained in singing, dance and drama at London's leading stage school, 'Laine Theatre Arts', for three years. Always the star, she became Laines Student Of The Year, as well as winning an award for 'Most Outstanding Student'.

Heidi has a broad history of Theatre work, from numerous Pantomimes to summer shows. She played the lead role of Bernadette's Mother in the promotion for the West End musical 'Bernadette', and has also appeared in 'Annie'. She won Second Place in 'Star Trials' at the London Palladium.

Heidi went to work for Butlins, aged 19, as an Entertainer Redcoat. After only two weeks she was promoted to her own cabaret spot, and presented numerous television programmes. Her talents were employed further when she was asked to produce all of the redcoat shows. She was also producer to headline names such as Bernie Cliftdon and Grotbags.

Heidi was spotted starring in one of her shows, whilst Bucks Fizz were appearing at Butlins in 1993. She was asked if she would like to audition to be a new member of the group, as Cheryl Baker was leaving. Bobby told ‘Hello’ magazine,

“We were looking for someone who was attractive, a good singer and a quick learner. Above all she had to be a friendly person who would fit in. Heidi was so right that we offered here the job on the spot.”

That was ten years ago - Heidi has now been a member of Bucks Fizz for a longer period than her predecessors Jay Aston and Shelley Preston combined, and is the group’s manager.

Three years ago, Heidi became Mrs. Bobby G - the happy couple tied the knot in Florida. She told ‘Hello’ magazine,

“I felt like Cinderella. I was excited and so nervous, my legs turned to jelly. As I reached Bobby in the gazebo, I could see tears well in his eyes. ’You look beautiful,’ he said, and I though I was going to cry.”

Back in December 2001, the Bucks Fizz Official Website got ‘In Bed With Heidi’ - here are a few unforgettable quotes from that crazy chat…

" I Like Marks and Spencers' underwear."

"I would definitely have a go with Sean Connery"

"Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the toilet roll road."

"My favourite solo song I have sung is called 'Kiss Me In The Rain', which you have probably never heard of, its a Barbara Striesand song, and that’s where my direction was going - West End. So I don’t know why I ended up in pop!”

"Robert and I are into our fourth year now. We kept it quiet for a while for private reasons, we both had to be absolutely sure. But hey, its been a long time and its just great. I really love Robert."
