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 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.
Until August 2004, Dale presented Pick of the Pops on BBC Radio 2. Since 2004, he has also presented Celebrity Fit Club.
