Look at the pictures of the TV star calling out a few numbers for the lucky players at the Bongo Bingo night. Bingo-ers in Formby got an unexpected treat on Tuesday night when Bradley Walsh stopped by to call the numbers. Bradley, who was in Merseyside to film a Farmfoods advert, stopped by MJ's in Formby for a beer and a bite to eat. When the TV star saw that it was 'Bongo Bingo' night, he thought it might be fun to step into the role of bingo caller.

The night is a mixture of comedy and bingo and is the brainchild of Southport Comedy Festival organise Brendan Riley. Brendan said: "Having Bradley Walsh as bingo caller was ace.

"He's such a genuine, down-to-earth guy and he got involved and had a laugh with the audience.

"The night has proven to be very popular with people of all ages which is just what we wanted.

"A lot of people hear the word 'bingo' and think of pensioners, but this has elements of comedy and even game shows mixed in - it really is a great, affordable night out.

"There were over 60 people there last night and they were definitely pleasantly surprised to see Bradley appear on stage! Winner Jon Bauer even got a peck on the cheek off him."

Mr Riley describes his hosting style as bringing a ‘game show kind of feel’ to the event.
