Her long blonde hair flowed in loose waves and she wore a sultry smoky eye with neutral lip makeup. "Happy Birthday to me," the star sang in the clip, before continuing: "40 years on the television, who'd have thought it?"

"My first appearance was on Countdown doing the numbers, Countdown was the first show on Channel 4, November 2, 1982."
