Speaking about the song's status as an 'eternal bridesmaid', Ridgeley added: 'It was a huge disappointment to both of us when it didn't reach Number 1 because, in our opinion, it had nailed it.

'After many years of thwarting – the eternal bridesmaid – it seems to have become part of the fabric of Christmas for many people in recent years.'
