Bradley Walsh is reportedly the UK’s richest solo TV host with a jaw-dropping fortune of £18.6million.
The star’s bank balance has rocketed thanks to shows like The Chase, Beat The Chasers, Blankety Blank and Wheel Of Fortune, and according to a report in The Sun he is now the country’s wealthiest solo presenter.
Figures from his WingIt productions reportedly showed that he raked in a whopping £3.5 million in the past year, making him the richest host right now.

His fortune is only second to the combined wealth of Saturday Night Takeaway faves Ant and Dec.
The publication quoted a TV source as saying “viewers can’t get enough” of the star.
“Bradley really is at the top of his game right now and is raking it in,” they said.
“He’s firmly established himself at the top of his profession and is the go-to man for both the BBC and ITV.”
Bradders, 62, is a huge favourite with TV viewers and The Chase has been a massive success.
His fortune looks set to grow even further with his Gladiators slot likely to boost his bank balance.
The much-loved 90s sports entertainment show is being resurrected with a reboot due later this year.
Everyone had been keen to see who would host the show, which was presented by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu back in the day.
And in May it was confirmed that Bradley and his son Barney would host the competition together.
“Wow!” the TV star said at the time.
“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… Are you ready?!” he asked fans.
