Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall cut a low-key figure as he stepped out in London with his daughter Romy on Thursday.

The If You Don't Know Me By Now hitmaker, 61, was instantly recognisable by his shock of red curls as he walked hand-in-hand with his daughter. 

He shares Romy, 14, with his wife Gabriella Wesberry, who he married in 2010 at 16th-century Forter Castle in Glenisla, Scotland.

Mick wore a blue shirt with white detailing and light blue sunglasses for his trip with his daughter as they trod the north London streets.  

Romy showed her trendy side in a T-shirt with Frida Kahlo's face on the front. 

It comes after Mick explosively revealed how heroin made him ill and cocaine made him feel 'like wood' when he used the drugs earlier in his career.

The musician said he had 'tried everything' and once lived with a heroin addict, explaining he has been around cocaine 'all my working life'.

But the Sunrise hitmaker said he hated taking drugs and instead prefers alcohol - although he now limits himself to half a bottle of wine a day. 

He told Rob McGibbon in an interview for The Sunday Times magazine that 'like every other musician' he had 'tried everything' and had sampled heroin when living with an addict.   

'I was only there for two and a half weeks and I tried it. Smoked it. I felt woozy and threw up. It wasn't for me,' he said.
