Jason Manford is following in Bradley Walsh’s footsteps, by becoming the latest TV star to record a covers album.

Bradley stunned everyone when his 2016 release ‘Chasing Dreams’ became the highest-selling debut album of the year and it seems he may have inspired comedian Jason.

The paper adds that Jason’s album will be released in early October and feature covers of his favourite show tunes, including ‘On The Street Where You Live’ from ‘My Fair Lady’.

The album, which contains covers of the likes of ‘That’s Life’ and ‘Mr Bojangles’, also ranked as the 57th best selling album of the year overall.

Speaking at the time, Bradley told the iPaper: “I never expected that [a gold album]. It just goes to show that great songs live forever.”
