Bradley Walsh
(Host)
Born:
June 04, 1960
in
Watford
Best Known For:
Coronation Street and Law & Order: UK
Early-life:
Bradley John Walsh was born in Watford on June 4, 1960. He wanted to be a footballer and was playing for a county league team when he was offered a contract with Brentford FC. Sadly, his sporting career was brought to an abrupt end when he broke both his ankles. He then considered joining the police, but was told he was too short, so he followed his father into engineering. He eventually decided to try stand-up comedy, and made his first steps towards turning professional when he became an entertainer at a holiday camp near Morecambe.
Career:
Walsh's big TV break came in 1993, when he appeared on the Royal Variety Show. It led to a stint presenting the National Lottery, and he also hosted the game shows Wheel of Fortune and Win, Lose or Draw. After fearing his brand of light entertainment was becoming dated he moved into acting, taking parts in the TV version of Lock, Stock, the soap Night and Day and movie Mike Bassett: England Manager before Coronation Street's bosses created the role of Danny Baldwin for him in 2004. He stayed in Weatherfield for two years before leaving to pursue other projects. He's since appeared in Torn, The Old Curiosity Shop, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Law and Order: UK and SunTrap. He moved back into presenting in 2009 with ITV quiz show The Chase, and is a team captain on Play to the Whistle.
Quote:
'Professionally I saw the end of light entertainment galloping towards me. Oddly enough, it's coming back now thanks to all the reality shows.'
Trivia:
Walsh is a supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

in
London

Early-life:
Born in London on June 8, 1943, Colin was raised and educated in Rochdale and Manchester. He trained to be a solicitor for five years before deciding to become an actor. He went to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (Lamda) and made his theatrical debut at the Cambridge Arts Theatre in Plaintiff in a Pretty Hat. Other stage work followed, including repertory seasons in Guildford, Liverpool, Canterbury, Harrogate and the Chichester Festival.
Career:
Baker made his TV debut in Jean-Paul Sartre's trilogy The Roads to Freedom. Between 1974 and 1976, he played the villainous Paul Merroney in The Brothers. He cemented his place in TV folklore after playing the title role in Doctor Who. His time as the sixth Doctor was short-lived as he only appeared in 11 stories over three years. This didn't stop him from reprising the character in the stage play Doctor Who - The Ultimate Adventure. He's since trod the boards in plays such as Privates on Parade, Run for Your Wife and HMS Pinafore. In 2012, he participated in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
