In Conversation: Cheryl Baker

She’s one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers — and she’s still fizzing with energy!

UK music icon Cheryl Baker recently caught up with Rob McGowan for a chat ahead of her brand-new tour, An Intimate Evening with Cheryl Baker, coming to The Lowry in Salford on 25th March.

In this special tour, Cheryl invites audiences to join her for a night of music, laughter and stories as she celebrates an incredible 50+ years in show business.

From her roots as a real-life Eastender to winning hearts (and Eurovision!) as part of Bucks Fizz, Cheryl’s tale is a sparkling slice of British pop history.

She’ll be sharing the memories behind those chart-topping hits — including that unforgettable Making Your Mind Up moment — and reflecting on a television career that’s spanned everything from Eggs’n’Baker to Record Breakers alongside the legendary Roy Castle.

More recently, fans will have spotted her popping up in EastEnders too!

Now performing as part of The Fizz with Jay Aston, Matthew Pateman and Nikk Mager, Cheryl continues to captivate audiences old and new.

Her upcoming show promises laughter, a few tears, and plenty of behind-the-scenes tales from a life lived firmly in the spotlight.
