How Mick Hucknall Went from Feeling Ugly to 90s Top Ladykiller

BBG News

In contrast to what one might expect, he was quite possibly the least likely lady’s man of the 1990s. Having spent his childhood feeling unattractive and being teased due to his unique red hair.

Mick Hucknall, the lead singer of Simply Red, has had relationships with some of the world’s most stunning women, including Catherine Zeta-Jones in 1998, a brief fling with Ulrika Jonsson, and encounters with Helena Christensen, Melanie Sykes, Lady Victoria Hervey, and Steffi Graf.

Mick Hucknall of Simply Red has had relationships with an impressive array of beautiful women, including Catherine Zeta-Jones in 1998, a brief romance with Ulrika Jonsson, and liaisons with Helena Christensen, Melanie Sykes, Lady Victoria Hervey, and Steffi Graf.

Both versions are grammatically correct and easy to read, but the first one uses simpler sentence structure and shorter words, making it more accessible for a broader audience.

One of his notable past relationships was with actress Martine McCutcheon, formerly of ‘EastEnders’, who recounts an unfortunate date from 1996 when she ended up vomiting on Mick’s dreadlocks. This event, according to Mick, is a ‘melancholic fabrication’ that he vehemently denies.

Simultaneously, one of his potential conquest candidates, Brigitte Nilsen, somewhat bluntly characterized the singer as ‘not particularly attractive’, yet she suggested what numerous women found appealing about him by stating that he was ‘extraordinary, amiable, and genuinely fascinating’.

Due to his past filled with vibrant experiences, it’s not surprising that his latest concert movie carries a cautionary notice about explicit themes, including references to sexual activities and alcohol consumption. Previously, the artist has openly discussed his affinity for alcohol and experimentation with various substances.

Currently resides the transformed party animal, going by the name [Name], who tied the knot with Gabriella Wesberry in 2005 at Forter Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. He now shares his life with Gabriella, their 17-year-old daughter Romy True, and cherishes every moment together.

In the year 2010, Mick made headlines when he candidly shared that from 1985 to 1987, he typically had three different women in his life each and every day.

I’ve never refused this opportunity. Being a pop star was always my ambition, and I consider myself fortunate for living out that dream. However, my one sorrow is that in the process, I may have unintentionally caused pain to some genuinely kind women.

2004 saw a documentary titled “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” fueling intrigue even further by suggesting that my all-time favorite artist had shared intimate moments with over 3,000 extraordinary women. Quite astounding!

In 2006, when the Daily Mail questioned him about rumors of his romantic encounters, Mick replied: “No, I admit to it. It’s just part of life. I believe it’s a search for approval. Love me, appreciate me – something along those lines.

Generally speaking, it was frequently associated with being intoxicated. If you were to visit a city center on a Friday or Saturday evening, you’d observe such occurrences everywhere around the globe.

While there’s not much extraordinary about it, its fame makes it newsworthy and sensationalized. However, it doesn’t bring genuine happiness.

In 2012, he attempted to rectify the information, saying to the Irish Independent: “By examining what I stated in the controversial interview and what the editor presented, you’ll notice they differ slightly.

‘I didn’t apologise to 3,000 women. The 3,000 wasn’t my figure. That was the editor’s figure.’ 

2019 found me still deeply engrossed in every word and action of my idol, Mick. Yet again, a claim was made about him, sparking a flurry of speculation among fans like myself. He responded by asserting that the interview where this figure was mentioned had been severely misinterpreted, taken completely out of context.

In an open conversation with Rob McGibbon for The Sunday Times, the singer clarified that when he stated, “In those chaotic times, it seemed like there were hordes of screaming girls and it felt like I was ‘sleeping with three women a day,'” – this wasn’t meant to be taken literally.

Yet, during the height of his career, the performer openly acknowledged leading a life full of partying, including heavy consumption of alcohol and drugs.

He went on to say in the frank interview that his past confessions were ‘conflated’.  

However, when inquired about the actual figure, he responded by stating: “To be honest, I haven’t a clue. I don’t make bets using my headboard.

‘I haven’t a clue and have never thought about calculating.’

One unrealized endeavor was his failed effort to win over Brigitte Nielsen, which transpired when he invited her for a late-night bath at his apartment in Manchester after she returned there at 3 am. However, the outcome did not turn out as planned.

In her memoir, she recollected that he increased the number of candles in the bathroom colored purple, played some music afterwards, and eventually, we found ourselves immersed in water.

While she did take a dip with the hitmaker, things went no further.  

She stated that Mick may be described in many ways, but certainly not as an exceptionally good-looking man. Yet, he possesses an expression of someone fully aware of his extreme eccentricity, yet incredibly approachable and charming, making him quite appealing.

‘I was simply improvising when it occurred to us to take a bath together. We conversed about each other without anything inappropriate transpiring. To be truthful, even if I had been compensated, I wouldn’t have slept with him.’

In an interview with Loose Women, Martin McCutcheon affectionately referred to the star as a “true gentleman” during their relationship in 1996. This appreciation grew even stronger after an awkward moment when she vomited on his dreadlocks during a trip home from a night out.

She stated, “He sported dreadlocks at the time, and they moved wildly about him. Soon afterward, he was forced to chop off his dreadlocks,” she explained.

As reported by a previous EastEnders actor, they carried on meeting each other following the event and stayed friends. However, Mick became incredibly angry over her statements, which she aired during an episode of Loose Women. In response, he decided to air his perspective on X.

It wasn’t your hair that you soiled, it was my driver’s car that you sickened. He got very angry.

You were so drunk that we needed to get you into bed. And let me tell you, this is just an inexpensive way to save face.

‘So pls desist, show a little grace. You embarrass yourself with your sad little fantasy.’

In Mick’s history, there’s an aspect that’s been under scrutiny due to conflicting stories from the singer himself about the extent of his womanizing.

This week, his womanizing persona (previously known as Lothario) has once again been in the spotlight. Even though Simply Red’s new concert movie received a U rating, which means it can be viewed by all ages, there are some advisories issued by the British Board of Classification.

On Thursday, a live concert recording from Chile in March 2025 will be aired, marking 40 years of chart-topping songs from the soul and pop band led by singer-songwriter Mick. This event commemorates four decades of their musical success.

Based on reports from The Sun, viewers have been cautioned about explicit lyrics containing references to intimacy and romantic desire.

The BBFC advises: “Occasionally, song lyrics may contain fleeting, vague mentions of ‘expressing affection’ or experiencing ‘sexual attraction.’

‘Occasionally, there’s a slight use of mild profanity, such as ‘darn’, and scenes involving brief alcohol consumption appear.’

The upcoming movie, launching to honor a renowned Manchester band on their 40-year milestone, features outstanding performances captured during their Santiago, Chile concert tour.

Holding Back The Years: 40 Years of Simply Red – Live from Santiago” showcases the energetic concert by the band at the Movistar Arena in Chile, where they played five consecutive sold-out shows to thrilled crowds during their Latin American tour segment. Over 140,000 fans were part of this musical experience.

At this unique cinema gathering, fans can immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere and heartfelt feelings of Simply Red’s 40th Anniversary Tour, all from the comfort of their seats on the large movie screens.

Showcasing remarkable renditions of their most celebrated songs and audience favorites across their extensive career – ranging from their critically praised debut album ‘Picture Book’ in 1985, all the way up to their newest releases.
