Great interview. She's a lovely genuine lady. Hard to believe she is now 70 years old. Thanks.

Unfortunately at 91 Dame Collins was badly stung by Hamper Wasps whilst in France, unfortunately dear Percy and Norma Jean were also badly stung. Please keep Dame Collins in your thoughts as she recovers from this traumatic event. Elderly ladies often have a reaction of severe pain, swelling and breathlessness to wasp stings, Dame Collins is thankfully a strong woman.

Brilliant in-depth interview.

Lovely lady yes, but she’s had SURGERY , hence why she doesn’t look her age! 😉

I grew up just down the road from Cheryl (Rita) and my Sister was at School with her. Can tell she's still a Bethnal Green girl at heart! ❤

I was born in Bethnal Green Hospital and raised in Old Ford Road, went to Morpeth Secondary School. Cheryl (Rita) used to babysit for a girl in my school who lived in the flats above Kelly’s pie & mash shop in Roman Road. Bethnal Green and proud. 👍

[@MrEurominx]

In recent years I have not watched an interview for more than 15 minutes. I watched this right through; testament to both Cheryl as the interviewee and Lewis as the interviewer. I’ve been a huge fan of Bucks Fizz / The Fizz and have learned so much from this interview. Thank you!

[@MB-wk5lc]

i worked with Cheryl Baker twice - the most genuine, decent and trustworthy person.

[@steevo6220]

I have always believed that, so thank you for saying it. She once came to my work place, but I had a day off grr

[@Edward1312]

Everything that Van Day isnt.

[@redcropuk]

I’ve got a 65 year old sister that’s six years older than me that I’ve always adored and Cheryl Baker reminds me so much of her, the way she talks, her friendly confidence, her light hearted tick on the world. I reckon she’s a real solid reliable and loving person, I just feel it. Lovely, and very much like a lot of women from that generation.

[@nygelmiller5293]

To redcropuk Lucky to have a sister who seems so nice!

[@michellefalleur960]

Lovely

[@gilly3927]

She's so nice. Just so very down to earth. Straight talking, to the point and easy going. Really came across well. Great chat x

[@stephenrafter1980]

Isn't she marvelous. I was a kid the night she won the Eurovision in Southeast Ireland. We all sat down and watched the Eurovision as families in those days. The minute her song came on I said to my young parents that that song will win. Then they took off the skirts and my mum put me on her feet and we danced to the song around the sitting on room . Such great memories. Thank you.

[@SLAmey-mu9hd]

I smiled almost throughout watching this interview. Rita is such a humble lady. A warming and compelling personality which doesn't stop beaming from her.

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

I saw the "Fizz" in Port Talbot in 2020, just before the pandemic started. Cheryl has still got a really powerful voice. Cheryl is very honest and genuine which I really like. It's a shame Bucks Fizz will never reunite.

[@RoyLake]

I have always had a crush on Cheryl, she's always come across as genuine, down to earth and lovely. May she rock on for many more years!

[@AdrianTudor51]

What a lovely woman! And a great show.

[@bill1949wt]

Cheryl is a really LOVELY person. I worked in a band for 20+yrs, and on one occasion Cheryl was the celeb at a gig we played in about '94 (Tudor Park Hotel - Cheryl was there to auction some autographed pics of Take That, for charity). While Cheryl was kneeling, sorting the pics, I cheekily leapt down next to her for a band-mate to take a pic. Cheryl obligingly leant her head against mine for the pic. 🥰 I'm very proud of that. BTW - I see harmony as the cherry on the cake - it MAKES the song.

[@zanducktv2398]

Cheryl’s ace, lovely woman 😊. A very entertaining and insightful interview, Cheryl never seems to tire of answering questions she must get asked lots about her career. Thank you as well for being so sensitive with your line of questioning about the emotional events and allowing Cheryl to volunteer the information.

[@TheLewisNichollsShow]

Thank you so much

I came across this by accident. This is the best interview with Cheryl Baker I have ever seen. She is so honest and down to earth. I have loved Bucks Fizz from day one and always had a soft spot for Mike Nolan, and when I was younger I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Sadly this never happened lol. Thank you for this, it took me back to different places in my life, in good times and bad. A great watch.

[@_Ben4810]

I always remember in the early-mid 80's, Cheryl appearing unexpectedly on the Simon Bates Radio 1 morning show...for the sole reason that she'd just lost her purse on the London Underground that very morning...!?! Bates in those days had a nationwide listenership of something like 10 million people tuning-in, a huge huge radio show & Cheryl must have either gone in-person or called-in to ask the nation for help in finding her lost purse on the Tube...!!! It was a deserved sign of her star power back then, Radio 1 didn't normally do the unexpected guest or appeals for lost purses but with Cheryl they did..! Forever a good woman & one of the best. 🙏

What a fantastic interview, just love Cheryl Baker, my husband who is not here anymore had such a crush on her. My absolute favourite Bucks Fizz song is Now Those Days Are Gone. Cheryl, I share your hatred of David Van Day, such a creep of a man and in my eyes there will only ever be one Bucks Fizz and that's the original line up. Still listen to your music now. You don't look a day over 50!!

[@buzzukfiftythree]

I wasn’t a huge fan of ‘Making Your Mind Up’, but it was a good Eurovision song, a deserved winner, and their subsequent hits were brilliant. Cheryl, Jay and Mike are still making some great music. ‘My Camera Never Lies’ is my favourite - it’s quirky and a brilliant arrangement. Cheryl is really down to earth and thoroughly likeable person and always does great interviews. My late nephew had similar injuries to Mike from an accident when he was 12 and it affected his life from then - he sadly died last year aged just 51.
