ITV The Chase's Bradley Walsh 'thrilled' as he announces long-awaited career move
Four of the country’s top television personalities are uniting for a 2025 music and comedy tour. The newly formed 'Prat Pack' includes The Chase's Bradley Walsh, EastEnders' Brian Conley and Shane Richie, with I'm A Celebrity winner Joe Pasquale.
The tour takes inspiration from the performances of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford. The stars will be accompanied by a 15-piece band as they perform across the country, giving audience members a personal insight into their relationship with plenty of laughs along the way.
Bradley Walsh said: "People are starved of our type of entertainment - songs, stories, jokes - and banter. It's an homage to the Rat Pack but brought up to the modern day, and it's a fantastic night.

"We are just thrilled. We all share the same dressing room, we're mates, we've known each other for so long now and the show is about warmth and family - because we are. It's great, really great.”
He added: “The show harks back to the 1950s and ‘60s - the Rat Pack era of Sinatra and the gang. The four of us have been mates for over 40 years now and we have a combined age of around 250 years, so a quarter of a millennium. The only time we were on the same show was in 1993 for the Royal Variety Performance. I've been desperate to put something together like this for so long."
