Dale Winton
Born Dale Winton on May 22nd 1955, he would have had the surname Winner but for his mother, who hating the name and (allegedly) the family, insisted that before she would marry the name must be changed by deed poll. Winner became Winton. He was called Dale by his mother after the famous TV and Film actor Dale Robertson who is probably best remembered in the UK for his starring role in the long running western TV series "Wells Fargo".

Dale started his showbiz career as a DJ on the London club circuit, moving on to United Biscuits Industrial Radio where he prepared the news bulletins, made commercials, and did some interviews, until he was finally given his own morning show. He then went on to do morning shows for Radio Trent, then Radio Danube and an entertainment show for Radio Chiltern. In 1986 he did "Pet Watch" with BBC Bristol (transmitted nationwide on BBC1). Dale's good looks, natural campness, and charming personality was an immediate hit with the viewers.

Dale Winton Book: My Story
The revealing, warm and honest autobiography of one of Britain’s best-loved entertainers. His personal life has been marred by poverty and tragedy, and this memoir not only covers his difficult rise to fame but also his determination not to let a tragic childhood blight his adult life. It is a disarmingly honest account of his relationship with his parents, his bullying father who died on the day of his bar mitzvah, and particularly the very close relationship he had with his beautiful but troubled mother, whose lengthy struggle with depression and carefully planned suicide has haunted him since the afternoon he found her, just days after his 21st birthday. Dale's story also deals with his lifelong problem with his weight, the plastic surgery he has undergone, and reveals the complicated truth about his sexuality.
