Bradley Walsh, the host of The Gladiators and The Chase, has given fans a sneak peek into his stunning £2.5million barn conversion home in Epping, Essex.

The much-loved TV star, 63, shares the sprawling property with his wife Donna Derby and their son Barney, 26. The gorgeous countryside home boasts five bedrooms, a sauna, gym and an outdoor swimming pool. Although Bradley doesn't often share glimpses of his home on social media, fans have had the chance to see inside during TV appearances over the years.

On one recent occasion, the Breaking Dad star appeared on This Morning with Barney, showing off their man cave shed. Fans noticed a poster for Tonight at the London Palladium, which Bradley hosted, and a drum kit. In another interview, Bradley gave a second glimpse into his home which saw lots of exposed wooden beams on the ceilings, giving it a chic and rustic feel.

Fans got another look inside when Bradley joined former This Morning presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby to celebrate his 60th birthday. The TV star filmed another live interview from his home office, which featured white walls and three wooden doors leading to other rooms. A pine bookcase was positioned next to the wall behind him, and a selection of framed photos and ornaments could be seen on top.

Bradley's luxurious lifestyle is a far cry from his humble beginnings, growing up in a council house in Watford. Bradley recently opened up to The Telegraph saying: "I was born in Watford, and grew up in a council house.

My mother was a single parent, who had to struggle hard to make ends meet. At one point she was holding down three different jobs. It was a happy childhood, but we certainly didn't have a great deal of money."

In 2021, the TV presenter reportedly forked out nearly half a million on some land which has a golf club on one side and the M25 motorway on the other near his Epping mansion. He was said to have splashed out approximately £400,000 on a plot of land, estimated to span about 44 acres.

It was unclear what the star was planning to do with the forestry but a bulldozer was spotted on the land, as well as a lorry unloading clay earth shortly after the purchase.

Now, Bradley is a top TV host with a whopping £6.45million to his name, earning more than big names like Ant and Dec and Dermot O Leary. He's been happily married to his wife Donna for 23 years and they're a glam pair on the red carpet. Bradley also has a daughter, Hayley Walsh, who is 38, from another relationship.

After playing football professionally, Bradley's first TV gig was presenting the National Lottery on BBC One in 1994. He then hosted game shows like Wheel Of Fortune in 1997. These days, he's best known as the host of The Chase on ITV. Bradley has previously shown off his acting skills in Coronation Street and Dr Who.
