Style
Hot Gossip were noted for the risque nature of their costumes and the dance routines, all designed and choreographed by Phillips, especially considering the early evening timeslot that the Video Show was broadcast in. They are often credited as one of the UK's early television dance troupes, continuing a trend which started with the Go-Jo's and Pan's People on Top of the Pops.
The group was once spoofed on The Benny Hill Show as Hot Gossamer. Some former Hot Gossip dancers appeared on the show as part of the Hill's Angels dance troupe.
