Bradley Walsh
(Presenter)
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.

Their first single, Pure and Simple, topped the UK singles chart in March 2001. A year later, she left the group.
Career:
Marsh signed a solo record deal but her debut album performed badly and she was dropped by her label. In 2005, she made her acting debut in an edition of Doctors. A year later, she joined the cast of Coronation Street, playing Michelle Connor, a role she continues to play. In 2010, she was a participant on Popstar to Operastar - she was voted out in the fifth week. She has been a guest on celebrity editions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Catchphrase, The Cube and The Chase.
Quote:
On Coronation Street: 'I've not thought about taking a break or pursuing other ventures. I'm happy and haven't got any plans to go anywhere, that's for sure.'
