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.
Sarah Willingham (Contestant)

Career: In the early part of her career, Willingham managed such restaurants as Planet Hollywood and Pizza Express before buying restaurant chain The Bombay Bicycle Club in partnership with The Clapham House Group in 2004. She expanded the chain from six restaurants to 17. Willingham also established other companies and made various investments. She first appeared on TV as a restaurant inspector and investor on The Restaurant. In 2015, she became a Dragon on the BBC TV series Dragons' Den but left in 2017.
Quote: 'When people ask if they should start a business I always say, ‘What is your ultimate downside? Can you handle it?''
