Spandau Ballet star comes to Singapore man's rescue in radio row

Tony Hadley answers plea for help from quiz player accused of mispronouncing singer's name

A quiz contestant in Singapore has prevailed in a battle with a radio station that denied him a cash prize over his pronunciation of the Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley's name - after winning support from the celebrity himself.

Muhammad Shalehan emailed Hadley after being refused the S$10,000 (5,750) prize on the grounds that he had mispronounced Hadley's name in a competition in which callers must identify celebrities in a sound clip.
