About Sinitta

Sinitta Renet Malone, known mononymously as Sinitta, is a British-American singer and actress. She initially found commercial success in the mid-to-late 1980s with the singles "So Macho", "Toy Boy","GTO", and "Cross My Broken Heart" and had several other hits during the decade. In the 2000s, she appeared on television in Loose Women, The Xtra Factor and This Morning. She took part in the ITV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2011. Sinitta continued her career by appearing in several West End productions, notably the first production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats. Sinitta's second single "Feels Like the First Time" was less commercially successful, charting at number 45. Sinitta then released the second single from the album, "GTO"; the single reached number 15 on the UK chart. "GTO" also became Sinitta's first hit in Spain, reaching number 3. The subsequent week, "So Macho" reached number 2 in the UK, scoring its highest position on the charts and also giving Sinitta her first Top 3 charting single. "So Macho" spent the following six weeks in the Top 20 in the UK.
