Winton started DJ'ing in clubs in Richmond in 1972, where he met Steve Allen. The two have remained best friends since. From there he had a selection of menial jobs including selling time shares abroad. In 1982, Winton moved to London and began his entertainment career on the London club circuit, where he DJ'd at weekends. This led him to United Biscuits Industrial Radio where he did a variety of jobs, before getting his own morning show. From here he joined Radio Trent in Nottingham, where he presented a weekend show, moving to the weekday mid-morning show, before leaving in 1985, and going on to work at a number of other local radio stations.
Winton began his television career in 1987, working for Channel 4, Lifestyle Channel and ITV. From 1993 to 2000, Winton hosted Dale's Supermarket Sweep during the daytime TV period on ITV. In 2007, Supermarket Sweep was revived after a 5 1⁄2-year absence. Winton portrayed himself as an irritating game show presenter in Danny Boyle's 1996 film of Irvine Welsh's 1993 novel Trainspotting. In 1995 and 1996, Winton presented the Saturday night game show Pets Win Prizes.
