Bobby Ball
[[Image:Robert Harper]] (b. 28 January 1944, Oldham, England), better known as Bobby Ball, is one half of the comedy double act Cannon and Ball, along with Tommy Cannon.
He married his first wife, Joan, in 1964, with whom he had two sons, Robert and Darren. They separated in 1968. He married his second wife, Yvonne, in 1971. They have one daughter, Joanne. Ball now has nine grandchildren.
Ball admits to a past of adultery, alcoholism and violence; however, he changed his ways in 1986 when he became a born-again Christian. Six months later, Yvonne also became a Christian, and in 1992 Tommy Cannon followed. Ball now serves as an evangelist, sharing his life story with people all over the UK.
Ball has been in show business with his comedy partner for 42 years, and they are still going strong.
