Sixty-two-year-old David King is one of the world's most successful international musical theatre producers, with hit shows around the globe, and the biggest employer of dancers in Europe. David has an estimated fortune of over £20 million from making his own versions of successful shows. He's known for his ruthless no-nonsense approach, but nothing could prepare him for the shocking event that takes place on The Secret Millionaire.

His wheeler-dealer attitude put a strain on his relationship with his disapproving father, who passed away before he could see David turn his life around and become a success.
