Yeah, but now you get to tango on petrol station forecourts with Alan Rickman in your videos.He’s such a good dancer.How did you hook up with him?I was chatting away to Michael Kamen, the string arranger who did Net Aid with us, and he said: “My friend loves you.” And I said, “Ooh, who’s your friend?” And he replied, “Alan Rickman.” And I think hes wicked, fantastic. I love him. Later, when I was talking to [video director] Vaughan about our new single In Demand, we thought, we need to find someone who you’d believe would just throw me into the tango. And I thought: “Alan Rickman. That’s it.”He was only too happy to comply?I called him up and left a message and he phoned me back at about nine in the morning, and Ashley [Heath, style guru and Sharleens boyfriend] answered. He comes running into the bedroom going, “Shar! It’s Alan Rickman on the phone!” So I pick up the phone, and he goes, “Helloooo. ” He talks sooo like that. And I did that thing where you pretend you’ve been up for hours.Was it a sexy video to make?Really sexy. He throws you about and you’re like, “Take me.” But my mum thought it was strange, seeing me with an older man.
Damn, take me instead.](http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgmttyzeCh1qbpfdbo1_400.jpg)
