Bradley Walsh has admitted he nearly turned down a huge TV role.
The 61-year-old has become one of the most famous faces on British TV and reportedly is one of the UK's highest paid presenters.

The couple share his only son Barney Walsh together.
He explained if his wife had not convinced him to take the role on Coronation Street in 2004 he would not have signed up.
Bradley told The Mirror: "I wouldn’t swap my missus for the world. Donna isn’t just beautiful; she’s the most fantastic wife and mother."
He continued: "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."
Bradley starred on the ITV soap for two years from 2004 until 2006.
Since, the ITV star has been credited for roles in Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures and crime drama Law & Order: UK.
The presenter has also starred in his own show, Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad, alongside son Barney.
The series follows the pair traveling in their campervan exploring different countries around the world while Bradley is thrown into a number of uncomfortable situations.
Recently, fans were left in stitches as Bradley slipped into an icy river in an epic blunder during the ITV series.
The cheeky TV presenter was absolutely drenched after the embarrassing balancing blunder, but somehow The Chase host managed to hold onto his beloved mug of tea.
