Marc Riley visits the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archives to uncover a 1992 interview between pop star Cher and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1's Simon Bates.

Tonight Marc travels back to 1992. In this year Prince Charles and Princess Diana publicly announced their separation; George H. W. Bush was televised falling violently ill at a state dinner in Japan, vomiting into the lap of Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa; and Betty Boothroyd became the first woman elected Speaker of the British House of Commons.

Also in 1992, pop star Cher found herself talking to Radio 1's Simon Bates following the success of her recent number one The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss). We hear a confessional Cher reflecting on her relationships with musicians Sonny Bono and Gregg Allman; her thoughts on I Got You Babe and the stardom it brought her; plus what it was like growing up in an idyllic California with two imaginary friends.
