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.

Career: Thomas's big break came in 2006 when he landed the role of Donte Charles in BBC drama Waterloo Road. He left the school drama in 2009 and in the same year, he was cast in the role of Adam Barton in Emmerdale. Thomas was a contestant on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in November and December 2016 and achieved third place.
Quote: 'I keep promising to hit the gym, because all the other lads (in soaps) always get voted for in the Sexiest Male awards - and I don't get a look-in!'

A few days before his 19th birthday, he packed his bags and left New Zealand with £1,000 in his pocket and a one-way ticket to England. He went on to compete as an amateur dancer before later turning professional. For a number of years he partnered with Camilla Dallerup.
Career: Cole's big break came in 2004 when he was approached to appear as one of the male professional dancers on the first series of Strictly Come Dancing.
