Bradley Walsh

Bradley Walsh is put in his place in the upcoming episode of Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad

Bradley Walsh is hilariously told ‘do you know what you’re doing’ by an ITV show guest this Friday.

Bradley, 65, and Barney, 28, are back on the road once in their hit series Breaking Dad as they head down under for a spectacular Australian adventure in the seventh season of their beloved ITV programme.

In this week’s episode, the boys’ Australian adventure continues and they are in the outback, where they meet a group of local farmers and help them muster their cattle.

The pair then make a pit stop at a local bar, where they end up taking part in a pub quiz. The next day it’s competition time as father and son go head to head in a race on lawnmowers.

Bradley and Barney’s trip then takes them back towards the coast and the beautiful Whitsundays, where a trip on a superyacht awaits them. However, in true show style, the boys won’t be doing any relaxing as they’re expected to work onboard.

In an exclusive first look clip of this Friday’s episode, it shows the moment the boys are thrown into a Below Deck style cocktail making challenge, where they have to make beverages for the superyacht’s passengers.

Bradley is tasked with making a margarita while Barney is asked to make a piña colada. However, Bradley’s cocktail making attempts don’t exactly go to plan as he pours Cointreau directly into the glass as opposed to the cocktail shaker. Noticing his blunder, he quips: “I should have done it in this but don’t worry!”

However, the superyacht’s guests are left apprehensive as one of the passengers squeals: “Does he know what he’s doing?” before another guest offers instructions, saying: “Do you need to put the Cointreau in there to shake it?”

To which Bradley insists: “I don’t really because it’s best if you have the Cointreau sitting at the bottom of the glass. That’s the way the pros do it!”

After mixing his drink, Bradley does a taste test as he exclaims: “Wow! I tell you what, you can run this boat on that!”

Meanwhile, Barney serves up the perfect piña colada to which a superyacht guest praises: “Oh my goodness Barney, you are amazing!”

Wanting feedback, Bradley asks: “Out of ten, would you say the piña colada?” to which the guest exclaims: “I give it 12 out of 10!”

A deflated Bradley then asks: “And the margarita?” with the other passengers admitting: “Three!” to which Barney jokes: “Unlucky!”

However, despite losing the cocktail making competition, Bradley soon gets stuck in as he grabs a piña colada to try himself and says: “Cheers to you all!”

The passengers who had the margaritas then put the drink back down on the bar with Barney joking: “Yeah, you best stay clear of that if I was you!”

Breaking Dad airs on Fridays at 7:30PM on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player

Some fans are convinced that two TV stars have hinted that they are to take over as Strictly Come Dancing hosts after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped down

Two major TV stars have seemingly let slip that they’re about to become the new Strictly Come Dancing hosts.

The BBC have now announced all the returning professional dancers after a massive number of exits. It has also been confirmed that all four judges are making their return to the BBC show.

The hosts have yet to be announced after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped down and there has been much talk about who might replace them, with names including Rylan Clark and Bradley Walsh being rumoured.

Fans now are convinced they know who will be presenting the show – after spotting a telling clue. Referencing the official post to announce the returning professional dancers and judges, one fan noted: “I noticed that they are the only ones from the rumoured 10 to be commenting on the post. Correct me if I am wrong. My dream duo.”

They are referring to the fact Zoe Ball and Angela Scanlon were the only two stars to comment on the post from the rumoured 10. Zoe – who previously presented the spin-off show – and former contestant Angela are hot favourites to replace Tess and Claudia.

One fan penned in response: “Would be two good choices as hosts. Zoe could fill the more serious role (although I still think Emma Willis would’ve been perfect for that but won’t complain about Zoe) and Angela would fill the Claudia role very well.

“The only thing I would say is Angela might have to balance her humour with seriousness a bit more than she has had to do in other presenting roles. But much much better than the other rumoured hosts like Rylan and Bradley Walsh.”

Another added: “I would absolutely not be mad if these were our hosts. Fit the bill for me, and they both know strictly well and how it works,” as a third penned: “Would be absolutely fine with this.”

Tess and Claudia announced back in September that they were quitting the show after the end of this series.

“We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream. We were always going to leave together and now feels like the right time. We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show,” they said.

“They’re the most brilliant team and we’ll miss them every day. We will cry when we say the last “keep dancing” but we will continue to say it to each other. Just possibly in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza.”

TV star Bradley Walsh faces one of his fears in the latest episode of ITV’s Breaking Dad

Bradley Walsh pleads “I don’t want to” as he confronts his well-known fear of heights in the latest instalment of Breaking Dad.

The ITV programme follows The Chase presenter and his son Barney as they journey to various destinations, taking on a series of daunting challenges. Now in its seventh series, the pair have ventured Down Under to discover Australia, and in the forthcoming episode Bradley tackles a zipline high above the Blue Mountains while Barney urges him on.

In a preview clip, Bradley appears visibly terrified, gripping his rope tightly and breathing heavily, reports the Express.

“I really, really tell you, guys, I really don’t want to do this,” muttered the star, who has a well documented fear of heights.

“Dad, you can do it!” exclaims Barney, but the TV star insisted: “No, I can’t. I don’t want to do it Barns. Please don’t. Please don’t do none of that for me.”

“Well, you can do it, you can,” urged Barney, who is known for hosting TV hit Gladiators alongside his famous dad.

But Bradley said: “What did I just tell him? Didn’t I just tell him?”

“I really don’t want to, though,” he went on. “I really don’t want to do it.”

Nevertheless, he pressed ahead, beginning to edge his hands along the ropes while murmuring: “Please, God.”

With Barney shouting encouragement, yelling “you got it”, Bradley gradually made his way along the rope before reaching solid ground on the opposite side.

Yet when questioned about how he felt after completing the challenge, he appeared to let slip a swear word, confessing: “Awful.”

“You smashed it, you smashed it,” Barney insisted as an exhausted-looking Bradley caught his breath.

Breaking Dad first launched in 2019 and it is now in its seventh series.

The show’s latest run kicked off earlier in May, with the opening episode following the father and son duo as they touched down in Sydney. The pair took in iconic landmarks including Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, before braving a thrilling aerobatic flight and a nerve-shredding ride on an extreme, high-altitude cable car.

Bradley and Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad airs on Friday May 8 at 7.30pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
