Bradley Walsh
Bradley Walsh became a household name playing the lovable rouge Danny Baldwin in the UK's highest rating TV show Coronation Street. He joined The Street in 2004 as Mike Baldwin's long lost nephew and has since had affairs with Sunita and Leanne Battersby. His wife Frankie left him when she discovered he was sleeping with his son's fiancé! He then discovered he was really Mike Baldwin's son. Never a dull moment.
Life After Corrie
Since leaving the street Bradley has filmed an emotional three part ITV drama entitled Torn. He plays a cameo role alongside Holly Aird and Nicola Walker.
Bradley has also fulfilled one of his own ambitions acting in a Dickens costume drama alongside Sir Derek Jacobi. Old Curiosity Shop will be screened in ITV this Christmas.

Bradley has also appeared as a guest on Parkinson and the Jonathan Ross Show.
And before Corrie
