This is Your Life - Cheryl Baker

In this TIYL upload, Michael takes a nighttime journey down the Thames—quite fitting, considering Thames is the name of the company behind the show. His destination is a pink champagne party aboard the Flamant Rose boat at St Katherine's Dock, where he’s set to surprise one of TV’s brightest stars. This tribute is for a woman who started out in Bethnal Green, soared to the top of the UK charts, and won Eurovision, but her life hasn't always been smooth sailing. Thirteen years before this "sting," she survived a near-fatal accident after being thrown through the windshield of a tour bus. Despite the odds, she fought back, achieving more success, even co-presenting the iconic show *Record Breakers*. In June 1994, she also celebrated a personal victory, giving birth to twins via IVF.

Interestingly, three years prior to this episode, she helped Michael "sting" her co-presenter on *Record Breakers*, Olympic Bronze medalist Kriss Akabusi. This time, Kriss returns the favor by assisting Michael in surprising her. Enjoy this tribute to Rita Maria Stroud, better known as Cheryl Baker!
