Mike extends a special invitation to one of his youngest fans

A couple of weeks ago, Mike received a gift and a lovely note from one of his youngest fans – 10-year-old Freddie. 

In all his decades of being on the air, he thought it was the first time he’s ever been sent a gift from someone so young. And, it was excellently decorated by Freddie’s 7-year-old sister, Harriet.  

The show is now a big fan of Freddie, so they decided to give him a call and extend a special invitation.
