Frank Bunce’s baby surprise ‘I COULDN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE!’
The invitation to take part in reality TV show Match Fit was serendipity for Frank Bunce. The former All Black was lacking motivation and it was causing more than just health problems – it was also affecting his new marriage.
At 58, the father of six and grandfather of six was slowing down, preferring a quiet life on the couch over getting out with his new wife Jessica Worchel and their baby daughter Tillie. And that was starting to concern the energetic American, who had given up everything to be with him.
“We were at a crossroads,” says Jess, who, at 39, is 19 years younger. “There was a bit of an ultimatum. I said, ‘Look, dude, you’ve got a little kid. You have a young wife. You chose this. You can’t sit back and go out to pasture. Well, you can, but I’m not going with you.’ But this show has reinspired him, given him his energy back.”
