	Actors - Dale Winton

Dale Winton (born May 22 1955) is a UK DJ and television presenter.

Winton's camp image has been associated with a string of game shows, such as Supermarket Sweep. He is currently well known for presenting the Saturday National Lottery show. In 1997, he also presented the final of the Great British Song Contest, the UK's national pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, due to a tie-in with the lottery programme. He showed open enthusiasm for the song Love Shine a Light by Katrina and the Waves that went on to win the event by a very narrow margin, and ironically won the 1997 Eurovision for the UK by a landslide.

In his autobiography of 2002, Dale "wanton" Winton confirmed one of showbiz's worst kept secrets - that he is gay, although he wrote that in the past he had sexual relationships with both men and women. Since 2004, he has presented Celebrity Fit Club. From April 1, 2000 to August 28, 2004 Dale hosted Pick of the Pops from 2.00-3.30 pm on Saturday afternoons on BBC Radio 2, taking over from Alan Freeman. From September 18, 2005, Dale returned to Radio 2 presenting Pick of the Pops once again, every Sunday afternoon from 3.30-5pm.

He is not married to Nell McAndrew, contrary to popular belief; the "wedding" was part of a spoof documentary for BBC Three called "Dale's Wedding". This is confirmed on Nell McAndrew's website, although many still like to believe that the wedding was real.
