Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but this Christmas people are more focused on what the woman from Wham's music video looks like almost 40 years later.
The iconic song 'Last Christmas' was released in 1986 and remains among the most-loved festive songs to be played on the run up to the big day.
Year in, year out, people sing along to George Michael's story of love and heartbreak, and many Wham! fans will be familiar with the accompanying music video which shows the singer enjoying a Christmas getaway with a group of friends which just so happens to include his ex.
Michael steals glances at the love who gave his heart away, a character who was played in real life by model Kathy Hill, but she had since moved on to dating another man, played by bandmate Andrew Ridgeley.

Hill featured heavily as she appeared in the video with big, curly auburn hair, but she's changed her look 36 years later.
The star is still working as a model, but she's ditched the '80s 'do in favour of shorter blonde hair.
Hill recently shared a throwback to her 1980s look on Instagram, prompting fans to say her 'beauty is unparalleled' and reveal she was their '80s crush'.

Many have said her beauty is 'timeless', while others said she's 'even more beautiful now' than she was in the 80s.
Looking back on her work on 'Last Christmas', the model has said she has nothing but good memories about filming the video in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.
Speaking to the Mirror in 2019, she recalled: "It was so much fun and really natural. It was just right. It wasn’t staged – it’s just a group of friends having fun. That’s the magic."

Hill was shocked by the sudden death of Michael on Christmas Day in 2016, and she remembered him as a 'sensitive guy' who was 'slightly more serious' than the rest of the cast of the video.
"He would think about the next shot. But he was also very funny," she explained. "He’d make me laugh a lot. And he was so kind. Nobody was left out. Andrew was the same. They were both very funny. They had such a similar sense of humour. You could tell they were really close.”
Michael passed away of heart disease at the age of 53. While Hill said listening to 'Last Christmas' initially became 'tinged with sadness' following the loss, it now 'brings back all the happy memories again'.
