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

Michael Ball reveals shocking reason he 'didn't talk to anyone for nine months', and the reason he'll never marry his TV presenter partner.

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. Michael, whose grandmother was Welsh, said he was “absolutely thrilled to bits” to have collected his award for services to musical theatre from the Prince of Wales(now The King). He was among more than 80 people from the worlds of public service, charity work, business and entertainment who collected their honours, including nurse and Ebola survivor Will Pooley.
