Olivia appeared twice on Terry Wogan's UK chat show in 1988 - once for a short interview and the second time to mime her single The Rumour.

For her second appearance in 1988 she performs the Rumour in a voluminous orange skirt which she wore on some other European Rumour TV appearances.

A young Kylie Minogue was also on the couch whilst Olivia was being interviewed (6 July 1988 appearance). The host Terry Wogan remembered Olivia from the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest (he was the British commentator). When she came fourth he thought to himself that this was the end of Olivia's career. He now admits how wrong he was!

Olivia was asked to offer advice to Kylie on her career. Olivia, gracious as ever, said Kylie was doing just great and she was lucky to have both singing and acting to her bow. She advises Kylie in an exaggerated Aussie accent to "just keep it up love".
