As Michael Ball takes over Steve Wright's Love Songs show on BBC Radio 2, following the DJ's tragic death earlier this year, OK! looks at why Michael sadly can't have children
Singer and West End musical theatre star Michael Ball is set to take over the much-loved Love Songs show on BBC Radio 2, following Steve Wright's tragic death earlier this year.
A funeral is yet to be held for the beloved DJ and presenter who was one of BBC Radio 1's biggest stars in the 1980s, before he moved to Radio 2 where he broadcast an afternoon show, as well as Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs, for 23 years. "I was going to earth at four times the speed I was meant to and got dragged along the floor," he shared, recalling the harrowing incident. At just 18, the accident resulted in a ruptured groin and internal bleeding, leading to multiple surgeries over four years and a painful secret – his impotence.
His emotional burden was compounded when he met and fell in love with Cathy, now 81, the former Sixties mod queen.
