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.
Iain Lee (Contestant)
Born: June 09, 1973 in Slough
Best Known For: Being a radio and TV presenter.
Early-life: Born Iain Lee Rougvie in Slough on June 9, 1973. He started out doing stand-up comedy at venues across London, although he readily admits he was not very good and never made any money. He first rose to prominence as a TV presenter on Channel 4 topical comedy show The 11 O'Clock Show, alongside Daisy Donovan. This led to him co-presenting RI:SE on Channel 4 with Kate Lawler.
Career: As well as appearances as a presenter on TV, Lee has been a regular fixture on the radio. He spent three years on LBC before moving to Virgin Radio and Absolute Radio. In February 2012, he launched his own podcast, The Iain Lee Pocket Radio Show. In January 2014, he returned to a regular role on TV co-presenting Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On the Psych with Rylan Clark.
Quote: "It's rare that I have ended up doing what I wanted to do. You need determination but more than anything, it is luck."
Trivia: Lee loves playing with gadgets.

She went on to spend four years doing stand-up at charity nights, galas and pub nights with her father in Bury.
Career: McAlpine's first TV role was playing Ollie Reynolds' school friend Michelle Morley in Emmerdale from 1999 until 2001. In April 2001, she landed the role of Fiz on Coronation Street, a role she continues to play. She was originally hired for a handful of episodes but her comic timing impressed the soap's producers and they offered her a long-term contract.
