Bradley Walsh shares photo of his mum celebrating her 80th birthday – and fans can’t believe how young she looks!

You’d never guess she’s 80!

He’s barely been on Instagram a week, but Bradley Walsh has already proved to be the most entertaining person online.

His latest picture is of his mum, Margaret, enjoying a large glass of white wine, as he wished her a happy birthday.

But you’d never guess it’s her 80th!

Beside the picture of Margaret out for dinner, Bradley, 57, wrote: “Happy 80th birthday to my darling mum Margaret. Love you very much”.

Fans couldn’t believe it, writing: “Happy Birthday…You definitely don’t look 80 years young…!”

Another added: “Happy Birthday to your beautiful mum who looks amazing.”

A third commented: “Hope I look that good at 80”.

Others refused to believe it was possible, writing: “No way is she 80! Happy Birthday beautiful lady xx”, and: “She is not looking anywhere near 80!!”

Bradley’s son, Barney, also took to Instagram to wish his grandma well, with a picture of the pair together.

Barney called her a “Supernan” and wrote: “Happy 80th birthday nan!”

Again, fans couldn’t believe how young the octogenarian looks, with one fan mistaking Margaret for Barney’s mum, writing on his picture: “Your mum looks amazing.”

The Chase presenter Bradley joined Instagram under the name @bradderswalsh last Tuesday, when fellow presenter Holly Willoughby forced him to sign up during the National Television Awards.

And he has delighted fans on the social media site ever since!

They particularly enjoyed one photo posted on Saturday, showing Bradley mocking This Morning presenter Holly’s fashion looks.

Next to a very, er, fashion-forward outfit, the cheeky presenter wrote: “This morning’s look… polo shirt and socks by @ralphlauren, shorts and sliders and by @adidas and umbrella by Paperchase! If it works for @hollywilloughby I’m hoping it’s gonna work for me! What do you think gang?”

He even added Holly’s signature hashtag: “#hwstyle”.

So far Bradley’s most popular picture by far though, is his very first.

Taken the morning after the NTAs, Bradley admits to being much worse for wear, writing: “Oh dear… woke up this morning with a headache and an Instagram account. @hollywilloughby bad girl!!!”

It’s had nearly 140,000 likes in under a week.

His second picture proved that good genes run in the Walsh family, as Bradley posed on the red carpet with his son, Barney.

Followers wrote: “Chip off the old block”, and: “What a handsome lad, just like his dad.”

And now we know where Bradley gets his good looks from!
