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 paradoxically won the 1997 Eurovision for the UK by a landslide.
In his autobiography of 2002, Dale 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. Until August 2004, Dale presented Pick of the Pops on BBC Radio 2. Since 2004, he has also presented Celebrity Fit Club. From September 2005, Dale returned to Radio 2 presenting Pick of the Pops once again, which broadcasts 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 3 called "Dale's Wedding" this is confirmed on Nell McAndrew's website, though remains a popular belief amongst many.
