Bradley John Walsh (born 4 June 1960) is an English actor, comedian, singer, television presenter and former professional footballer, known for his roles as Danny Baldwin in 'Coronation Street', DS Ronnie Brooks in 'Law & Order: UK', and Graham O'Brien in 'Doctor Who', as well as hosting ITV game shows 'The Chase' and 'Cash Trapped'.

Walsh also hosts the annual 'Crime Thriller Awards' and the 'Crime Thriller Club' on ITV3, he hosts the variety show 'Tonight at the London Palladium' and is a team captain on the sports-themed panel show 'Play to the Whistle'.

In late 1978, at the age of eighteen, Walsh became a professional football player for Brentford and although he failed to make the first team, he was regularly a member of the reserves. Separate ankle fracture injuries finished his career in the game in the early 1980s after a promising loan spell with non-league Dunstable Town, for whom he scored 15 goals in 25 league appearances.

Walsh's time at Brentford also saw him play for Barnet on loan, making five Southern Football League appearances in the 1978–79 season. He also played for Tring Town, Boreham Wood and Chalfont St Peter.
