2. She Has A Cameo In Neighbours
An old proverb states you can judge a man by the company he keeps. Updating it for our purpose you can judge a British icon by the company she keeps. What is needed is a barometer, a high water mark. A task that once achieved elevates that person to the level of British Icon. For the purposes of our validation that barometer will be the ultimate accolade. A cameo in Neighbours. Lily achieved this milestone in 2009 and walked in the hallowed footsteps of Michael Parkinson, Emma Bunton and Derek Nimmo all icons in their own way. Let us not forget that Neighbours has spawned Kylie Minogue (who has already ascended to National Treasure status) and created characters such as Dr Karl, Harold Bishop and Bouncer the dog. Truly this is a show where only the greatest may grace (as well as the quiet one from The Pet Shop Boys). Lily appeared singing her single '22' and immediately validated her credentials as a British icon. Whilst there she swiftly laid the foundations for National Treasure status by flirting with Doctor Karl Kennedy. A musical alliance and love match that could bring the music industry to its knees.
