An Ashburton woman has been thrilled by an extra special birthday message from her favourite person on her favourite TV show: The Chase host Bradley Walsh.
Doris Wakelin, 106, was treated to a video message from Walsh, arranged by the Ashburton Guardian for its local centenarian.
In the video, shared to Ashburton Guardian’s Facebook page, Walsh, also known for his roles on Coronation Street, Law and Order: UK and Doctor Who tells Wakelin: " ... I had to send this video, I really really did. I hope one day we meet. I really do ... always remember, girl, The Chase is on,” he adds with a chuckle.
But it’s not the first time Wakelin, a mother of six who says Walsh reminds her of her sons, has received a birthday message from The Chase star.
