Michael Ball gets his OBE!
29/01/2016
Michael Ball was awarded his OBE at Buckingham Palace today, joking with other recipients that "it’s a nightmare in there!".
He was presented the award by the Prince Of Wales for services to musical theatre, at a point in his career when he’s already realised some pretty weighty ambitions: roles in Les Miserables, Phantom Of The
Opera and Sweeney Todd, two Olivier theatre awards and being the UK’s 1992 entry in the
Eurovision Song contest.
Michael collected his award alongside more than 80 people from the worlds of public service, charity work, business and entertainment. He was joined for the special occasion by his very proud father, Tony.
