Bradley Walsh has come a long way since his days of entertaining in Pontins.
From his iconic role as Danny Baldwin in Corrie to being one of the most notable gameshow presenters in history, Bradley has been a presence on our screens for decades.
Speaking about his career, Bradley shared a piece of advice he was given during his early days.
He said: "A massive piece of advice I was given earlier on in my career was 'Whatever you do, the easiest part of showbusiness is giving up - don't'.
"And seriously, when I got a knock back, I kept going and kept going."
We look back at his incredible career as he turns 60-years-old.
First job
Bradley started his career as a jet engineer for Rolls-Royce.
In an interview with the Mirror, Brad admitted he was not one of the sharpest at school and lived up to his nickname “Wing-it” by passing three of his eight O-levels – English, maths and art with no revision.
He said: “That was enough to get me into Rolls-Royce. I did an apprenticeship there. Ironically that closed down and became the Harry Potter film studios.”
Football dreams
When he was 18, Brad become a professional footballer for Brentford after being spotted by a talent scout.
A string of ankle fractures ended his professional football career when he was just 22, leading him to find work as a bluecoat at Pontins in Morecambe.
Start in television
Brad had his first breakthrough when supporting singer Leo Sayer in 1985.
He was then invited on The Des O’Connor Show, resulting in a tour with Dame Shirley.
In 1997 he presented Wheel of Fortune for ITV before turning his hand to acting.
