MICHAEL BALL

'The Michael Ball Show' airs weekdays

at 3pm on ITV

'HAIRSPRAY' tour dates coming up

Michael Ball is currently fronting his own show on ITV 1 - the Olivier Award winning musical theatre star is hosting The Michael Ball Show every weekday over the summer in which he will interview celebrities as well as rising talent.

The show is a topical mix of entertainment, discussion and glamour with the occasional musical treat thrown in by Michael himself.  He will also be cooking for a member of the public each day.  "I love cooking and I really think food helps people talk better. It's my idea, as you might have guessed!  I'm quite good in the kitchen but I want to learn more - I'm also thinking of throwing in a bit of wine tasting, so watch this space!"

The multi-tasking star - award-winning actor, platinum recording artist, host of his own BBC Radio 2 show and TV chat show host, has also been packing theatres around the country in the UK tour of HAIRSPRAY; from December 14th 2010 to January 9th 2011, the enormously successful show will be in residence at Edinburgh's Playhouse Theatre and Michael will be joined by ex-Monkee Micky Dolenz as Wilbur Turnblad.
