Eighties popstar Wilde, now a DJ on London’s Magic FM with her Secret Songs show, became a viral video hit after she was filmed by a fellow passenger wearing a set of gold reindeer antlers drunkenly accompanying her brother Ricky Wilde, who was playing the guitar.
Horsman is popping in and out of view to the right of Wilde as she sings Kids in America and Rocking around the Christmas tree and is clearly enjoying the performance.

As a self-confessed Kim Wilde fan, Horsman told Mortgage Solutions: “I’d been out for a night out in town and was on my way home on the Kings Cross to Potter’s Bar train when I spotted the guitar on the seat first, which was her brother Ricky Wilde’s.
“Kim Wilde was one of my first crushes at 11 or 12, so when I spotted her I asked her if she’d do Kids in America. I was singing along the whole way through too,” he said.
“But, if I was an eight out of ten on the drunkenness front, she was about a nine and a half.”

At the last count the video has been viewed almost 1.5 million times.
When the video started to attract attention, Wilde tweeted: “Truly, I am overwhelmed and confused at such a huge reaction to my night out on the tiles. Making me giggle a LOT: )”
