Bradley Walsh Set on Fire in 'Dangerous' and 'Really Frightening' Breaking Dad Stunt

Bradley Walsh was left feeling incredibly anxious during the latest episode of Breaking Dad, after being set on fire as part of a 'dangerous' stunt. The seventh series of the ITV documentary sees Bradley and his son, Barney, embark on an epic adventure across Australia.

On Friday (May 15), the father-and-son duo marked the halfway point of their Australian road trip in the Gold Coast. Activities included joining an outrigger canoe club, visiting a wildlife hospital set up by Steve Irwin's family, and trying synchronised swimming. Their time ended with a visit to a stunt man who taught Barney a stunt fall before Bradley took on the 'human torch fire burn'.

Bradley was carefully fitted into layers of specialised clothing and a balaclava to prevent severe burns. After the suit was covered in fuel and ignited, he ran forwards before being smothered with a wet blanket. However, he quickly cried out: 'I'll you what, that's burning my a***! Oh my god, my a*** is on fire!'

After the stunt, Bradley admitted: 'To be honest with you, that was really quite frightening, do you know what I mean?' He joked: 'Luckily it's not my arm, because then I'd of been in possession of a firearm.' Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad is available to stream on ITVX.
