Can You Guess This Football-Mad Daughter of an 80s Pop Icon?

BBG News

Being the cherished adoptive daughter of a legendary ’80s pop sensation, I’ve had a front-row seat to the glamorous world of stardom since day one. Meeting icons and luminaries has become as routine for me as brushing my teeth!

However, even though the young lady is not commonly spotted, she managed to capture a photo with TV host Piers Morgan during her recent visit to an Arsenal game last month.

With a smile shining brightly, she stood alongside the retired newspaper editor, aged 60, who was no stranger to the limelight himself. The daughter of renowned musicians, dressed elegantly in a stylish trench coat, exuded an air of class and refinement.

1986 saw her mother make a dramatic entrance, with the popular single “So Macho” that climbed up to the second spot on the UK charts and stayed there for seven consecutive weeks within the top 10.

After releasing numerous singles under Simon Cowell’s record label, she participated as a judge during the first season of The X Factor in 2004, assisting at the Judges’ Houses round.

But can you guess who this football-mad daughter and her hitmaking mother are? 

It’s none other than Magdelena, 20, daughter of musician Sinitta, 61.

In the photo with Piers, she donned a beige trench coat featuring navy cuffs, complemented by a loose, off-white sweater, white sneakers, and a soft grey scarf.

Meanwhile, Piers wore a black padded jacket paired with black cargo pants, striking a pose inside the stadium box located in north London’s Emirates Stadium.

On Sunday, Sinitta shared a sweet picture on Instagram featuring her daughter, Magdalena Willner, along with Piers Morgan, as they watched both Arsenal and Chelsea football matches. The caption read: “My baby girl Magdalena Willner with Piers Morgan.

Delightful meal, thank you @raymondblanc for hosting! Too bad your team beat @chelseafc.”

This version maintains the original meaning and tone while using clear and natural language.

Sinitta Malone, a well-known pop figure, was wedded to Andy Willner from 2002 until 2010. Together, they brought up two children they adopted, namely Magdalena and her younger brother Zac.

She hailed from Seattle initially, then Detroit subsequently, but often accompanied her renowned singer mother, Miquel Brown (a former Hair cast member), on tours.

Upon landing in the UK, she graced several West End productions, among them Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats. Subsequently, she left a significant mark on music charts with her hit single, So Macho.

Back in 1987, Top Boy managed to reach the fourth spot on the charts and maintained its position within the top 20 for a remarkable period of eight weeks.

Around this time, she famously hooked up with a little known actor named Brad Pitt. 

For a couple of years, Brad and his partner were an item, but the socially timid Brad struggled to match his outgoing girlfriend’s party lifestyle, ultimately leading to their relationship’s demise.

In a previous interview with Maxim magazine, Sinitta said: ‘I think I was too wild for him!

At a prime point in my professional life, I was still quite young and preferred not to spend evenings at home, dining and being romantically involved.

This star achieved triumph with songs such as “Cross My Broken Heart”, “Right Back Where We Started From”, and “Love On A Mountain Top” during the 1990s.

Over the years, Sinitta has produced a total of three solo albums: “Sinitta!” (released in 1987), “Wicked” (1989), and “Naughty Naughty” (1995).

Later on, she reconnected with Simon during the debut of The X Factor. In this competition, she chose Steve Brookstein, who ultimately won the series, as one of her last three performers for the live shows.

In the third season of the program, Sinitta too selected Leona Lewis as a contestant for Simon Cowell. This choice turned out to be a significant one, as Leona Lewis became one of The X Factor’s most prominent winners.

In 2010, I provided some exceptional guidance when I suggested Simon Cowell should pick One Direction during the Judges’ Houses round.

In the preceding year, Sinitta took up a role as a host on the spin-off program “The Xtra Factor.” She also declared that she had given the show a fresh makeover upon her return in 2016.

From the years 2000 to 2010, as well as from 2010 to 2020, she was a host on Loose Women and also participated in the 11th season of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here.

The popular music artist made regular appearances on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway in the year 2016, and later joined the cast of Celebs Go Dating.
