SINGING twins THE PROCLAIMERS celebrated their first UK No 1 yesterday -
by washing shirts and undies.
Unlike other pop stars who throw wild parties after topping the charts,
the Scots stars cleaned their smalls.
CRAIG REID, 45, who performs with brother CHARLIE on Comic Relief single
(I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles, confessed they had run out of clean clothes
after a hectic few weeks promoting the song.
After learning they had hit the top spot by a mile after 20 years of
trying, Craig loaded the washer.
He said: "I spent the afternoon washing and ironing.
"I've hardly been at home because we've been so busy. I had no clean
shirts or underwear left so I had to get a load on. We're off working
for another six days so there was no other time to do it."
But Craig, of Edinburgh, did plan to toast the No 1 with his family -
after the ironing.
He said: "I'll have a wee drink and that'll be it."

That song is just now making it to number 1?
Geez, that would set some sort of record. No, the song is being rereleased in a revamped version featuring some British comedians to benefit Comic Relief.
