TV presenter Bradley Walsh is known for his off the cuff comedy antics, including one that he didn't mean to do.
The presenter and actor was hosting iconic gameshow Blankety Blank for BBC when he slipped on the stairs behind his celebrity guests and took a mighty tumble.
The 63-year-old star lost his footing and slipped behind footballer and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! winner Jill Scott, with viewers and guests watching on as he nearly hit the floor. Ever the professional, Bradley managed to catch himself and regain his composure as he continued down the stairs to present the programme.

He didn't stop the jokes there either as he then pretended to storm off and hide behind celebrity guests Layton Williams and Jason Watkins. Continuing to joke, Bradley said: "Be kind you lot".
This isn't the first time Bradley has taken a tumble or had an accident whilst presenting on TV. The Chase presenter had an awkward moment on ITV when he got over excited and enthusiastic whilst presenting the game show and broke part of the set an dthe podium he was stood on.
During a head-to-head round with a contestant and Chaser Mark Labbett, Bradley emphatically smacked his hands down on his podium after an answer had been locked in. Yet the red faced host was then left joking if there was a spare available as he realised he'd broken the set.
He then joked to the contestant that he might need to borrow some cash to help fix the broken set: "If you win the £35k can you lend me a couple of quid?"

BBC)Last year Bradley was also left in shock when a Blankety Blank contestant stormed off the set before the programme had even ended.
The 62-year-old presenter was at a loss for words on Saturday when Katie, a mum-of-two from Swansea, left the stage during Bradley's end speech after winning £750. As Bradley said: "That's the way it goes, I'm so sorry Katie. I wish you well all the way back to Swansea."
"But of course, you've got £750 plus a Blankety Blank chequebook and pen," at which point Katie left the stage, waving to the audience.
After she disappeared behind a screen, the audience burst into laughter while a stunned Bradley stopped what he was saying and looked around for Katie.
The contestant eventually reappeared and seemed embarrassed by the blunder, apologising to the TV host.
One of the celebrity guests then tried to make light of the mishap and said: "Do you know what? That's the right attitude. If you don't win, just do one."
Blankety Blank airs Saturdays on BBC One.
