Celebrity birthdays: Sinitta turns 46


October 19, 2014

Happy birthday, Sinitta! As the singer celebrates turning 46, HELLO! Online takes a look at what the stars have in store for Sinitta, and for you...Love Focus: Frogs! That's all I've got to say to you. Little plastic frogs! The kind you used to get at funfairs. They pop up and down in a little pretend pool and you hit them over the head with an outsized hammer. It was something that passed, in the olden days, for a leisure activity! You could carry on bopping them forever - or until your money ran out - whichever came first! And that's my point about the biggest choice that you may now need to make in your emotional life. Stop thumping the frog and kiss it instead, who knows what it may turn into.
