He’s on the television every night on The Chase and now Bradley Walsh has been announced as the host of a star studded annual event – the Royal Variety Performance.
A permanent fixture on TV for decades now, thanks to his time in the cast of Coronation Street and as the host of numerous game shows, Bradley is, of course, now best known for being at the helm of ITV’s daily quiz show and its successful spin-off Beat The Chasers. And soon he’ll be making the step from the set of The Chase to the Royal Albert Hall, for this year’s Variety Performance.
The news was confirmed by ITV on Wednesday evening, with former Royal Variety performer Bradley over the moon to be given the prestigious gig. He commented: “I am so excited to be presenting this year’s show. It’s been 30 years this year since I first performed at The Royal Variety Performance, so what an absolute honour to be hosting. The line-up is incredible and I can’t wait for you all to see what I have in store.”
