Dale Winton burst onto our screens with Supermarket Sweep in 1993 and stayed there for more than 25 years. This documentary tells the story of how Dale was driven to win the nation's love after of the suicide of his mother.
Never-seen-before home footage offers a glimpse into Dale's life away from the cameras, and interviews with friends and family, including actress Claire Sweeney, Jon Culshaw, Gloria Hunniford and his godsons reveal what an extraordinary person Dale Winton was off-screen. This is a tribute to one the TV’s greatest entertainers who died at only 62.
