MICHAEL BALL - BALL HATES CHRISTMAS CLEAN-UP

BALL HATES CHRISTMAS CLEAN-UP

MICHAEL BALL's family always vote for the culinary-gifted singer to cook Christmas dinner - but he refuses to clean up the dirty dishes afterwards. The 45-year-old's specialty creation is his roast dinner - but he's set a rule that once his platter of turkey, stuffing and Christmas Pudding has been eaten, his only remaining job is to sit back and relax. When asked what he hates most about the festive season, he says, "Cleaning up all the mess after I've cooked the Christmas dinner! I make loads of mess and always expect other people to wash and clean up - mainly because I cooked the meal."
