Bradley Walsh (born 4 June 1960) is an English comedian and latterly television actor.

Early life

Walsh was born in Watford, Hertfordshire on 4 June, 1960. He attended Francis Combe, a comprehensive school in Garston, Hertfordshire.

Football

In the early 1980s, Walsh played professional football for Brentford F.C., although he failed to make the first team. An injury finished his career in the game.

Television

He first came to prominence on television in 1994 as a presenter of the National Lottery before going on to host the British version of Wheel of Fortune in 1997. In 1998 he presented another ITV1 game show, Win, Lose or Draw before turning his attention to acting.

Coronation Street

In 2004, he began playing the role of factory boss, Danny Baldwin, in the Granada TV soap opera, Coronation Street, for which he is now best known. Danny was originally going to be called Vic, but Walsh asked for the name to be changed to Danny after his late father. People had previously called him Young Danny, so he thought it wouldn't be so bad when people called him by his character's name.

He won the 'Best Dramatic Performance' award at the British Soap Awards in May 2006 for his role. He was written out of the serial at his own request at the end of that year, however he was not killed off and is expected to return in late 2007.
