Rochdale Gran tries out Bongo's Bingo - it wasn't quite what she was used to

Eileen Johnson is a 77-year-old avid bingo player from Rochdale.

Twice a week she heads to Derek Walker Court Sheltered accommodation to play a game of traditional bingo, or two.

Having 12 years experience under her belt we thought we'd see what she thinks of the bingo craze sweeping the UK and the world - Bongo's Bingo.

Bongo's Bingo was the brainchild of two men in Liverpool - Jonny Bongo (real name Jonny Lacey) and Joshua Burke - starting with a laptop, a bingo machine and an empty warehouse in 2015. Now, the event, described as a 'totally chaotic and unique twist on the very much quaint and traditional game', is in over 40 locations worldwide including London, Ibiza, Sydney, Melbourne, and Dubai

Eileen has proven Bongo's Bingo isn't just for students, and she's not alone when it comes to partying pensioners. A 90-year-old woman celebrated her birthday at a Liverpool show last year.
