Richard Wilkins celebrates 71st birthday in style with towering $150 chocolate cake adorned with strawberries


Channel Nine star Richard Wilkins celebrated his 71st birthday on Thursday.

Today posted a photo of Richard in a smart black suit posing alongside a lavish cake topped with strawberries, which included a message in chocolate icing, 'Happy Birthday Legend'. While he holds much pride in the TV work he has done over the years, the Weekend Today co-host told The Sunday Telegraph he regrets he stopped writing songs. It seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as Richard's son Christian Wilkins landed the role of red carpet host for the prestigious ARIA Awards last November.
