The reason Bradley Walsh is on TV so much has been revealed. Bradley,
who hosts ITV The Chase each weekday from 5pm til 6pm, is now a fixture
on Saturday nights, and is presenting Gladiators on the BBC with Casualty star son Barney.
As reported by the Daily Mail, getting on good terms with Holly Willoughby’s husband Dan Baldwin is key when it comes to getting ahead in the industry. As well as Gladiators and The Chase, last Saturday night saw Bradley also take part in Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.
He and Dan, who shares three children with Holly Willougby, are “thick as thieves” and an industry source told the publication that Dan and Bradley are ‘pretty much inseparable’. Baldwin is a 48-year-old TV producer. During his career life, Baldwin has worked on a number of hit television shows including Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad and Virtually Famous.

He is also the producer behind the hit game show The Wheel and also worked on Celebrity Juice, which Willoughby also took part in. Baldwin launched his own media production company, Hungry Bear Media, which he is the managing director of and has rumoured to have recently signed a new series of Gladiators to his brand.
Speaking about landing the Gladiators gig, Bradley said: “”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!!! Saturday night family entertainment at its best..”

And son Barney agreed, saying: “”Gladiators has been a massive part of our family and it’s an honour to be asked to co-host this iconic show. I’m so excited for everyone to see the spectacle, elite athletes and fantastic family entertainment that is Gladiators.”
