Bradley Walsh has revealed an exciting new project away from his hit ITV show, The Chase. The popular presenter is teaming up with three other much-loved entertainers for a brand new stage show.

In 2025, he will join forces with his ITV pals for a new music and comedy tour, with the newly formed "Prat Pack" set to entertain audiences nationwide.

Bradley and three other TV legends - Brian Conley, Shane Richie and Joe Pasquale are set to hit the road foursome will be treating audiences to a combination of comedy, banter and legendary hits with their tour, The Prat Pack.

The tour is heavily inspired by music legends, The Rat Pack, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

Channeling the allure of the Rat Pack's golden years, this quartet is set to serenade fans nationwide with a full 15-piece band in tow. Audiences will be regaled with intimate tales of camaraderie and showered in humour throughout the tour.

Bradley couldn't hide his excitement: "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."

With added sentimentality, he shared: "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."

The announcement comes after Bradley was replaced as the host of the Royal Variety Performance for the 2024 show.

This year, Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden and comedian Alan Carr took the reins, marking the first time since 2019 that the programme featured a hosting duo.

Amanda, 53, said it was "an honour" to take on the role of co-host, adding: "This is a dream job and Alan is a true friend; we are already bursting with ideas and excitement. It's going to be such a fun night!"

Bradley's tour kicks off in Edinburgh on 27 April and concludes on 23 May in Southend. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 29 November.
