Bradley Walsh named as the richest solo UK TV host as he rakes in a whopping £18.6 million fortune

The richest solo TV host raking in an eye-watering £18.6 million has been named, and it's no other than Bradley Walsh.

Bradley, who is best known for fronting ITV game show The Chase, has officially been crowned as the richest to go it solo with the 63-year-old also being involved with presenting the spin-off Beat the Chasers, Blankety Blank and Wheel of Fortune.

And it doesn't stop there as he's also starred in ITV’s The Larkins, which was a reboot of the beloved 1990s series The Darling Buds of May, Coronation Street, BBC ’s Doctor Who and Law & Order: UK, reports the Mirror.

As one of the most recognisable faces on our telly screens at hosting some of the best-loved game shows across history, Brad has raked in a few million in the process.

According to figures from his WingIt Productions firm, he has seen his assets grow by £3.5 million over the last 12 months marking him as the wealthiest solo TV host which is suspected to grow further as host of BBC One’s reboot of Gladiators, alongside his son Barney.

The father-son duo also appear in their own show, Breaking Dad, which sees them travel around the world in an RV doing a series of challenges.

“Bradley really is at the top of his game right now and is raking it in. He’s firmly established himself at the top of his profession and is the go-to man for both the BBC and ITV,” an insider told The Sun.

Bradley announced the exciting news that he and Barney would be presenting the hotly-anticipated return of Gladiators in May.

He confessed he was ecstatic to have landed the gig after revealing his wife Donna Walsh used to be the head choreographer for the Gladiators cheerleaders in the 1990s.

“Wow! I can’t believe that I’ve been asked to be part of this iconic show. I used to sit backstage, or in the audience, every week watching my wife be part of this juggernaut and now I get to co-host a new version of GLADIATORS!!!” he said in a statement.

“Saturday night family entertainment at its best...ARE YOU READY?!”
