Son of Ballarat Wildlife Park’s Greg Parker, he’s been working with animals since he was one and that’s exactly what he wants to continue doing when he grows up.
He recently got to show his skills in front of host, actor and comedian Shane Jacobson, and an audience, when he was filmed for an appearance on Little Big Shots. Children with a diverse range of passions and talents are featured on the non competitive entertainment program, which was created by Ellen DeGeneres and Steve Harvey.
“The show was so much fun to do and I met so many other talented kids during the taping session”, Charlie said, adding that Shane Jacobson was very funny.
His appearance on the show involved dealing with a range of animals, including a stumpy tail lizard, Burmese python and a tortoise. His favourite animal, an alligator, is also featured in his appearance.The show will air on channel seven this Sunday 24 September 2017 at 7pm.
