The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh, 61, has revealed his successful multifaceted TV career does come with its downsides. In recent years, the actor and TV host has flexed his acting muscle in Doctor Who as Graham O’Brien, while fronting The Chase, Blankety Blank, Beat the Chasers, and Take Off alongside Holly Willoughby.
The multi-talented star has also appeared in a travelogue for ITV, which follows his journeys alongside his son Barney Walsh, in Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad.
Bradley is now preparing to take on a new role as Pop Larkin in the forthcoming ITV series, The Larkins.
When quizzed on how he balances his various roles on-screen, Bradley admitted he does worry about boring viewers by appearing in too many shows.
The presenter told this week’s Radio Times: “You’ve got to be very careful of overkill.

“People can get very bored very quickly.”
Despite his concerns, Bradley gushed over his latest role in The Larkins, which he believes is “needed” to “take the edge off” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The star explained: “Everyone’s galloping through life; this reminds us to slow down and take it easy.
“It’s set in the 1950s, so your nan and grandad can relate, plus it’s nice for the youngsters today to see how life was.
“I actually wanted to play a homicidal maniac and go against what I’m most known for, but nothing ever came up.
“But when he told me he wanted me to play Pop, and that the series would be written by Simon Nye, I said yes straightaway.
“Later, I got a lovely email from Richard Bates, HE Bates’s son, saying the family were really looking forward to the show.”
Elsewhere, Bradley recently shared details on his lifestyle overhaul after doctors broke the news to him that his weight made him a “ticking time bomb”.
The ITV host was forced to reevaluate his eating habits and fitness regime after being told he is at risk of hereditary heart disease following the death of his dad, who he lost before he reached the age of 60.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “I had a hang-up because my father, Daniel, died at the age of 59.
“I had it in the back of my mind that I just had to get past my dad’s age.”
“Once you know it’s hereditary, you start having regular tests. Of course it’s a concern,” he admitted.
