Bradley Walsh has been married to his choreographer partner, Donna, since 1997 and since then she has helped him forge a very successful television career.
Bradley, 62, is one of the daytime television's most notable faces, taking the reigns of the ITV quiz show, The Chase, for over a decade. Kicking off his career in the holiday resort Pontins, his journey has been made easier with the help of his wife Donna.
The television presenter has gone on record as crediting Donna for helping him bag one of the most lucrative roles in his career as she knew what a gig on the cobbles would mean for the star.

He told the Mirror : "It's because of her I signed with Coronation Street. She's the one who recognised what it could do for me even though it would mean being apart." Initially apprehensive, Donna urged Bradley to go for the role which effectively kickstarted his career and made him the household name we know today.
Bradley played Danny Baldwin in the ITV soap from 2004 to 2006, appearing in over 390 episodes before his character left for Spain, leaving the door open for a possible return in the future.
Donna is a renowned dancer and choreographer. Her first notable appearance was in the 1985 video short on the popular rock group, Willie and the Poor Boys.
Her most notable work, however, stems from the Miss World beauty pageants where she worked on routines, transforming her life and allowing her to pass the torch onto her son, Barney Walsh, who hosted the shows. She also starred in the music video for Robert Palmer's 80's classic, Simply Irresistible.
No stranger to the silver screen, Donna also enjoyed a brief stint as an actress and appeared in six episodes of The Kenny Everett Television Show in 1987. Most recently, Donna returned to her beauty pageant routes this time as an esteemed judge.
