Bradley Walsh has been named the richest solo TV host across the UK, with a massive £18.6m fortune to his name - after fronting numerous game shows like Blankety Blank, Wheel of Fortune and ITV's the Chase.
The 63-year-old from Watford has also made his trade as an actor over the years, starring in the likes of The Larkins, The Darling Buds of May, Coronation Street, Dr Who and the UK version of Law & Order.
One of the most familiar faces on UK television, while Bradley has racked up a substantial amount hosting game shows that help contestants win money, he's also made a few million of his own in the process. His assets grew by some £3.5m in the last year alone, according to figures from his WingIt Productions - making Bradley the wealthiest UK solo TV host at present.
And his fortune will grow further across the next few months no doubt, after the fun-loving presenter landed a coveted hosting gig on BBC One's reboot of Gladiators - along with son, Barney. The father and son duo will also appear in their own Breaking Dad show, which will see them travel around the world in an RV while facing a series of challenges, The Mirror reports.
