Michael Ball excited to reprise drag role in Hairspray

Stage star Michael Ball cannot wait to reprise his Hairspray role - confessing he stole the “boobs” from his last turn in the musical.

The singer appeared as big-hearted Edna Turnblad around 10 years ago, winning an Olivier Award for the drag role.

He will be back in a new production of Hairspray The Musical and this time comic Paul Merton has signed up as his husband.
