Bradley Walsh has revealed he's contemplating retirement, despite being named as one of the 'richest stars on TV'.

The Chase host, 61, admitted he struggles to keep up with his busy working schedule and lamented not having any downtime. 

He told The Sun: 'You know what, in a couple of years time I won’t have to do any of it, I’ll be retired and that’ll be it.'

Bradley, who hosts The Chase and its spin-off shows Celebrity Chase and Beat The Chasers, reveals he only records the shows on 86 days of the year.

However, he explained: 'Out of 365 days, you’d imagine I have loads of time off. But once you’ve got your bedrock of shows set in, that allows you then to go off and do other things.   

'I don’t actually have time off, I have meetings, I have personal appearances I have to make and stuff like that with other things I’ve got going on, so it’s quite tricky to juggle it about.'

The presenter, who has helmed The Chase for 12 years, isn't slowing down any time soon though, as he is about to front new BBC1 game show Take Off with Holly Willoughby and is currently filming his role as Pa Larkin in ITV’s Darling Buds Of May reboot The Larkins.

Over the years, the actor has also enjoyed roles as Danny Baldwin in Coronation Street, as DS Ronnie Brooks in Law & Order: UK, and as Graham O'Brien in Doctor Who.

The multi-talented star  - who's also a former professional footballer - also turned his hand to music and has released two albums.   

He released Chasing Dreams in 2016 and When You're Smiling the following year, which both reached the top 15 in the UK Albums Chart.
