Telethon 2023: Dr Chris Brown gets special welcome from Little Telethon Stars as fundraising marathon nears

Excitement was building among the Little Telethon Stars for their live TV debut as they posed for The Sunday Times’ front page photo with new Channel 7 favourite Dr Chris Brown.

The famous TV vet received a very special welcome from stars Connor Barrett, Emily Houston, Harrison Carthew and Sophia Marshall — with the foursome equally thrilled to be meeting him.

They could hardly contain their excitement as the time inched closer to the beginning of the 26-hour fundraising spectacular.

Dr Brown was just as ecstatic, saying the Little Telethon Stars bowled him over with their infectious energy.

“They’re a third of my size but they’re just so full of joy and light,” he said.

“They are a good example of what we need to bring to the event.”

This year’s Telethon is set to be filled with love, laughter, unscripted moments and a wealth of panels featuring some WA’s favourite stars as it kicks off Saturday 7pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
