Declan Donnelly is celebrating his 51st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.

Popular television host-actor Declan Donnelly (Britain's Got Talent, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 51st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Donnelly, a cultural icon

Born Declan Joseph Oliver Donnelly in Newcastle on September 25, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in English history. Donnelly's not just a great television host, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Declan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Declan Donnelly as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 51.

Happy Birthday, Declan, you're the best!
