He might’ve won *Superstar* on ITV, but Ben Forster is so much more than a TV talent show winner... This week I'm joined by the fabulous Ben as we talk about his whirlwind rise to fame - from training at Italia Conti, to starring as The Phantom in the West End, to releasing an album of stagey hits. Ben talks about the pressure and privilege of singing arena shows, why in-ear monitors can ruin your vibe, and how Andrew Lloyd Webber went from judge to mentor (and text buddy ?!) Plus we chat all about his new album MUSICALS GREATEST HITS - recorded with a 90-piece orchestra - and shares the very real ups and downs of navigating fame, rejection, and imposter syndrome in musical theatre.
