Bradley Walsh 'earned £2m' from TV work last year after return of 90s classic Gladiators

, the 64-year-old legendary host of The Chase, has amassed an impressive fortune over his career. He hosted the quiz show Midas Touch in the mid-90s, but it seems he is the one with the golden touch.

Bradley recently spent £400,000 on a piece of undeveloped land in Essex, located next to the M25, the country's busiest motorway but it's not known why he decided to purchase the plot. The former professional footballer has become one of the wealthiest TV stars in recent years, thanks to the success of The Chase and Breaking Dad, which he hosts with his son Barney Walsh, 26. Bradley has been hosting ITV's The Chase for 15 years and has made a fortune from regular panto appearances, two best-selling albums, and roles in Coronation Street and Doctor Who.
