Career: Michael began his broadcasting career with the BBC in Cardiff in 1954, making his debut as a villain in a Children's Hour play. He later filled the BBC's demand for a pretty face to front the news and has suggested he moved through the ranks by being friendly and never refusing a job offer: 'I kept saying yes, and suddenly I was a TV personality.' He has compered Miss World, hosted chat show Aspel and Company, as well as presenting Family Favourites, Crackerjack, Ask Aspel, Give Us a Clue and Come Dancing. He took over from Eamonn Andrews as presenter of This is Your Life in 1988 and fronted it until 2003. He spent eight years as host of Antiques Roadshow until 2008.

Career: In 1978, Wonnacott joined Sotheby's in London, becoming a junior director in 1983 and a full director in 1985. His work for the auction house was primarily in the furniture department, where he developed his knowledge of clocks, barometers, 19th-century sculpture and works of art, ceramics and silver. He left Sotheby's in January 2003 after 25 years to start his own fine art agency and brokerage business and further his media ambitions. He first began appearing regularly on TV in the early 1990s as an expert on Antiques Roadshow. His big break came in 2003 when he replaced David Dickinson as the host of Bargain Hunt. He has made guest appearances on a number of shows such as Test the Nation, Going for a Song, The Great Antiques Hunt, and Royal Upstairs Downstairs. In 2014, he signed up to appear as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
