Picture: Brad Hunter Source: The Daily Telegraph IT might be more than 20 years since Aussie rock legend Daryl Braithwaite starred in that film clip, but that didn't matter to Today show host Lisa Wilkinson this morning. Wilkinson joined Braithwaite on the microphone for a rendition of his 1991 romantic classic The Horses during the Gold Telethon telecast. While Braithwaite swapped that flowing white shirt and beach for a black t-shirt and the Channel 9 studio, the icon still managed to leave Wilkinson ever-so star struck "That was one off the bucket list," she said. No girl should get to do what I just did. The Telethon is off to a strong start with more than $760,000 donated by 10.15am.
