Re: Bradley Walsh on Wheel of Fortune

I actually meant Jade Goody and Jenny Powell are twins, Jason. Now you mention it, Bradley Walsh could be related too. Maybe they're triplets? I think in triplets you usually have an even number of each sex. Not sure, ask Corby.

So maybe they can do the ducky song next time and the other one in January. Hopefully it will be a video podcast with dressing up and dancing.
