A Tooting 10-year-old is to star in a television juice advert this summer.
Malachi Alfred-Lecky, from Furzedown School, plays a character named “Ping” in the new Fruit Shoot ads.
The advert features four members of the “juice crew”- a football player, a ping-pong player, a beat-boxer and a skipper.
Malachi originally auditioned for the beat-boxing part, but judges decided his ping-pong skills shone through even more.
He said: “I was shocked when I got through, but am so excited to show my skills off to all my classmates.”
