BBC Radio 2 - The Michael Ball Show, Barbra Streisand and Nicole Scherzinger

Michael is joined by superstars Barbra Streisand and Nicole Scherzinger.

Michael speaks to his idol, Barbra Streisand, about her best-selling memoir, "My Name is Barbra", and singer/actress, Nicole Scherzinger, currently starring in "Sunset Boulevard".

It's a Superstar Sunday as Michael is joined by two award-winning megastars of music, film and stage: Barbra Streisand and Nicole Scherzinger.

Michael has been a fan of Barbra Streisand since her was 7 years old and credits her with being the reason he pursued a career as a performer; to Ms. Streisand's delight, he recalls listening to her records as a little boy living in South Africa. They then go onto discuss Ms. Streisand's childhood and the strained relationship with her mother, overcoming the stage fright which has plagued her career, her frustration about negative news stories, her pride in her son Jason Gould's singing career.. .and her love for cooking hoisin spare ribs. These two performers have much in common, as you will hear.

Michael is also joined by ex-Pussycat Dolls singer and actress, Nicole Scherzinger, who is currently wowing audiences in London's West End playing the iconic role of Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard".

All of this plus another game of On The Ball, alongside great music and your Sunday Boasts. If you want to get involved with the show, email michael.ball@bbc.co.uk
