Man who 'gets paid for having a great time' has given away thousands of pounds

A man who "gets paid for having a great time" has given away thousands of pounds as part of his job.

Anton Fletcher works as a bingo caller at Castle Bingo, in Bootle, and has been in the industry for more than two decades. The 49-year-old is the person who gets to shout out the lucky numbers and tell people they are the ones who have won life-changing amounts of money.

The dad, from Bootle, is now one of eight people who has made it to the grand final of the National Bingo Game Caller of the Year 2022 competition. Anton earned his place in the final by showing off his singing skills, performing a song from The Greatest Showman.
