The entire country (those on twitter anyway) found themselves gripped by a frenzied debate as to whether it was a '90s resurgent fashion statement too far.
First there was Cheryl's Rachel style hair cut, there's pink Gwen Stefani here, now there's this. We shudder to think what's coming next. Spice Girl platform shoes? Or... floppy velvet hats?
Anyway, the general consensus was...

Just hearing now that Miriam O'Callaghan wore a choker on prime time. Sadly, I honestly actually find this exciting.

In response to the inevitable onslaught, Miriam responded with:
@VIPmagaz Thanks guys! Love them - thank the Lord they are back in fashion.

And, if you fancy getting one for yerself...
@Clisare I love them too. Bought this one in Topshop. They have lots of chokers & they are all great.

There's a saying that goes "if you remember it the first time around, you're too old to wear it the second time around" - or something to that effect. In this case, that's not true. She looks just as good as Wigfield (dancing is mandatory. We won't judge.)

Chokers. Did you indulge back in the day? I had a black velvet one, but had to relegate it 'cause it really highlighted the downey neck. As for the one Miriam is sporting - no chance; wearing one of them with a fuzzy neck makes for an inadvertent and pretty unpleasant threading experience.
