Keren Jane Woodward (born 2 April 1961,[1] Bristol, England) is an English pop singer and songwriter of British girl group Bananarama, co-founded by her school friend Sara Dallin and Irish musician Siobhan Fahey.

She has known her bandmate, Dallin, since she was four, when they met at Bromley Heath primary school. She studied at Mangotsfield Secondary school. She lives in Cornwall with her husband Andrew Ridgeley, the former Wham! vocalist and guitarist,[2] and her son Thomas (born 1986), from a previous relationship with the model David-Scott Evans.[3]

Woodward continues to perform as Bananarama with Dallin.[2] In 2013, the pair appeared in an episode of the BBC quiz show Pointless Celebrities.[4]

Woodward has criticised the British music charts, saying that acts no longer had the opportunity to climb to a higher position each week, as was commonplace in the 1980s.[2]
