BRADLEY Walsh has landed a £2million boost — making him the UK’s best-paid presenter after Ant and Dec.

The popular star, just signed to a six-figure deal for BBC’s Blankety Blank, has leap-frogged the likes of Graham Norton, Phillip Schofield and Gary Lineker.

Bradley’s £2million boost — makes him the UK’s best-paid presenter after Ant and Dec

Accounts filed by his Wingit Productions show its shareholder funds stand at £11.5million, up from £9.5million in the previous 12 months.

Son Barney, 22, and wife Donna get a share of the spoils as director and secretary of the firm.

A source said: “Bradley regularly polls internally as one of ITV’s most liked stars. Viewers adore him, and he can turn his hand to pretty much any form of broadcasting.

“When it comes to taking on new work, he can basically name his price.”

Ant and Dec’s Hurley Promotions and Mitre Television earned the I’m A Celebrity pair a combined £8.6million last year. They also own solo companies, meaning they remain Britain’s best-paid stars.

As well as being named Blankety Blank host, Bradley, 60, fronts ITV quiz The Chase.

His Breaking Dad series filmed with Barney has been recommissioned, and he recently landed a prime-time BBC1 Saturday night show alongside Holly Willoughby.

The star, a footballer for Brentford as a youngster, has also acted in Doctor Who and Coronation Street.
