In the legendary shoot, both George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley are shown taking their ‘girlfriends’ skiing.
The song finally went to number one this Christmas, after missing out on Band Aid in 1984.
Kathy stood out in the video with her warm smile and ’80s curly bob as George Michael sang sad lyrics about his love giving away after the holidays.
She later revealed that she actually got a little drunk while filming the video in Switzerland because the atmosphere was so relaxed.
The Lancashire native smiled: “It was so much fun and really natural. It felt right. It wasn’t staged – it’s just a group of friends having fun. It’s magic.
“In the scene around the dinner table, we were all a little tipsy. I don’t think George was, but we were. I drank a lot of red wine.
“There’s a scene in the video where I’m looking at George and I need to take a sip of my wine. You can see I’m not actually drinking it. It’s because by then I’m full.”
She then revealed that the scene where she and George play in the snow was not staged.
Kathy added: “We had to walk up the hill about five times. George slipped each time. One time he ended up sitting on top of me, laughing – and that’s the part they used.
“It was completely natural. We were just laughing our heads off. He couldn’t get up. That’s my favorite scene.”
The song has since charted 11 times in the UK in the decades since it was released – but Kathy looks just as gorgeous as she did back then.
She now has blonde wavy locks and has lost her perm, but her sense of style remains glamorous.
Keti is in great shape and often posts photos from her travels on Instagram.
The British model continues to work in the fashion industry and is the face of numerous campaigns of different brands.
In 2015, AK Jewelery announced that they had hired Kathy to represent their brand.
They exclaimed: “The Wham video came out exactly 30 years ago this Christmas!!
“And now, three decades after running hand-in-hand through the snow with an international superstar, she’s landed her biggest gig yet – as our beautiful model!
“We didn’t take her skiing in the mountains for our shoot – but we kept things as natural as possible by asking her to pose for us in a busy London park.
“We haven’t used any clever lighting or complicated props in our images, so you can clearly see the jewelry, as it will look when you buy it.”
Kathy has also appeared in commercials for 50 Plus, a fashion catalog and online retail store.
The fashion line is endorsed by Lorraine Kelly and offers contemporary plus size clothing for women ranging from sizes 12-32.
