Ed Balls had come in for criticism from Good Morning Britain viewers as he fronted the show again on Tuesday (February 28). The former Labour MP-turned-presenter was back at the helm of the ITV news programme alongside Susanna Reid when they were joined in the studio by actor Lee Mead.
The 41-year-old was on hand to chat to the hosts after he clinched his first West End role in a decade as villain Khashoggi opposite Brenda Edwards as Killer Queen in We Will Rock You, the hit musical which features 24 of Queen’s greatest songs. Returning to London 21 years after the show burst on to the capital, the show will run for 12 weeks at the London Coliseum from June 2 – where the rock band’s frontman, Freddie Mercury, performed with the Royal Ballet in 1979.
And Lee said singing a song from the band Queen in front of them for an audition was "the most daunting thing" he’s done in his career. He also added to Susanna and Ed: "It’s my first villain role, it is very tongue-in-cheek but my first sort of baddie character. For me, it’s the first time back in the West End in 10 years, very exciting."

While also on the show, Lee opened up about recently travelling to Turkey for a hair transplant. He recently shocked fans when he appeared on This Morning earlier this month, having shaved off his famous curly locks prior to undergoing the transplant.
Asked why he opted to travel to Turkey, the former Holby City star said: "I highly recommend anyone to research it properly first, and there are places in the UK and America that do an amazing job but to be frank it's three times cheaper in Turkey and they had done 14,000 operations.
“It cost £3,500
