    Gord Burton to appear on TV Show "The Weakest Link"

    Southport’s “Piking Pirate” Gord Burton is to appear on the BBC Show “The Weakest Link”.


    Southport’s “Piking Pirate” Gord Burton

    Gord applied to go on the show in early 2011. He went to Blackpool’s Imperial Hotel for an audition in May, and five days later he received a letter saying he was successful.

    He spent Monday and Tuesday (8th & 9th August 2011) in Glasgow as a contestant on the show. During his appearance he sang songs for the show’s host, Ann Robinson.

    How did Gord do on the show?

    Did he go out in the first round or did he win?

    Find out by tuning in to BBC 2 on the 19th December at 1:00pm!

    Wow like magic the article has become corrected. I thought adjustments were not possible! Well OTS did not adjust the Trevor Ford backs OTS over Southport FC ban... which later proved to be only errr partially true. On a brighter note, best of luck Gord

    Gugsy is a pike fisherman .. hence, piking pirate.

    What the heck has he done to his hair!??! The tradmark mullet had gone for a 'Burton' phnar phnar.
