Michael Ball on why he ‘didn’t talk to anyone for nine months’, reason he’ll never marry his TV presenter partner, and the 20-year age gap

He appears on The Wheel this weekend

Michael Ball appears on The Wheel this weekend – answering questions on musicals obvs – but his partner could probably trump everyone when it comes to 60s and 70s music.

The dimple-cheeked singer is known for his performances on the West End, for topping the singles chart, and even for representing the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest – where he did a LOT better than the 2024 entry Olly Alexander.

And while he’s known for being a larger-than-life, ever-smiling performer, he’s previously been candid about some very dark times in his life.
