| Notes | Agnetha had previously appeared on this programme twice in 1982 with
ABBA. A weekly section on the show was handing out "Golden Egg Awards"
- an award given to celebrities by host
Noel Edmonds who had been caught out or made goofs on
screen. Hence it was appropriate for Agnetha to receive the award for
the out-takes
from rehearsals "Raskenstam"
before performing "Can't Shake Loose".
Her introduction on the show was a disaster however and one that she remembered all too well as she recalled it in her 1996 book "As I Am": "When the floor manager missed my cue I stressed out going up the stairs and got there too soon. Quickly I took a step back so as not to be seen. But there was nothing there! I fell backwards headlong into a hole in the specially-built stairs. I lay there, unable to get up while I listened to the live announcement". Although you can't tell from her appearance she was hurt both physically and emotionally. To make matters worse, this was the promotional trip that she made by coach across northern Europe which resulted in the coach crash en route back home in southern Sweden. |
