London, Jan 4 : Legendary singer Sir Cliff Richard has admitted that he wears heels to enhance his stature.

The 68-year-old star insists that he always dresses well to go shopping and even wears heels to enhance his self-esteem.

"You want to look good," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"I've always done my own shopping at Tesco nearby or whatever. I don't wear slovenly clothes because I've seen photos of people like Britney Spears wearing a tracksuit. I never look terrible for shopping. I'll put on clean jeans rather than the torn ones I wear for the garden," he added.

Sir Richard, who is set to reunite with his group The Shadows for a tour, admits to wearing stacked heels to look taller on the stage.

"I am 5ft 10-and-a-half but 6ft on stage," he said.

"I always wear heels that lift me up a bit because they have these girl dancers and I hate to be towered over," he added. (ANI)
