Prat Pack Returns: Bradley Walsh Announces New Tour

Bradley Walsh has delighted fans with the announcement that he and his friends, Brian Conley, Shane Richie, and Joe Pasquale, are returning to the stage as The Prat Pack later this year. This eagerly awaited tour follows their successful sold-out run and will feature the entertainers performing classic songs by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., accompanied by a 15-piece live band.

The upcoming tour, described as a "high-octane tribute to the legendary Rat Pack," is set to begin on 2 September 2026, at the Edinburgh Playhouse. It will then travel to various venues across the UK, including Glasgow, Manchester, and the London Palladium. Walsh stated the new tour is "even bigger, even better and even more hilarious" than the previous one.

This news coincides with reports that filming for new episodes of ITV's The Chase, which Walsh hosts, has been put on hold for at least a year as part of cost-cutting measures. An ITV spokesperson clarified that The Chase has completed recording for series 19 this year and will continue to air new and repeat episodes. They also confirmed a new Beat the Chasers for 2026 and a spin-off series, The Chase Around the World, are forthcoming.
