Summary at a Glance

Singer and West End musical theatre actor Michael Ball took over the reins of the much-adored Love Songs show on BBC Radio 2 last year, following the heartbreaking death of Steve Wright.

The singer, renowned for his roles in Les Miserables and Aspects Of Love, disclosed that a horrific accident in his teens resulted in severe injuries after a charity parachute jump went awry.

At just 18 years old, the incident caused him a ruptured groin and internal bleeding, which resulted in numerous operations over a span of four years and concealed agony from his resulting impotence, reports OK!.

Michael, 62, has been living with his partner Cathy McGowan since the 1980s, but he previously shared his personal sorrow, revealing why he would never know the happiness of fatherhood.

But now he's appearing on Sunday's Dancing On Ice, alongside singing partner Alfie Boe, as the pair perform to accompany the skating celebrities including Mollie Pearce, Sam Aston and Dan Edgar.
