Bradley Walsh has officially confirmed the highly anticipated return of the beloved ITV series Breaking Dad, enthusiastically admitting 'it's good to be back' as he and his son Barney Walsh prepare for another thrilling adventure. The dynamic father-son duo is set to embark on their seventh series, this time venturing to Australia for an epic, adrenaline-fuelled journey down under.
Adventure Down Under Awaits
Over six action-packed episodes, viewers will be treated to the pair exploring the vast wilderness and stunning coastal delights of Australia. However, fans can expect the usual twist: Bradley Walsh, best known as the host of The Chase, won't be enjoying the relaxing holiday he might have hoped for. Instead, his son Barney Walsh, who currently stars in the medical drama Casualty, has meticulously planned a full itinerary packed with heart-pounding challenges.
Bradley's Apprehensions and Excitement
Ahead of the new series, Bradley expressed a mix of excitement and apprehension about what Barney has in store. In an interview reported by the Express, he remarked, 'It's so good to be back on the road again with Barney. We really do have the best time, but I'm not quite sure what he has up his sleeve on this trip, which is slightly worrying.' He added with humour, 'I was looking forward to a bit of sunshine and maybe a nice barbecue but knowing Barney, I'll be dodging great whites or jumping out of a plane before breakfast.'
Barney's Enthusiasm for the Journey
Meanwhile, Barney shared his excitement with fans, hinting at the incredible experiences to come. He stated, 'I'm excited to embark on this new adventure with my dad and get him to experience the incredible culture, local activities and landscapes of Australia. It's going to be an exciting and adrenaline-fuelled road trip with lots of fun and laughter. Australia is such an iconic destination with so much to offer - I can't wait to see us both get stuck in Down Under!'
Series Legacy and Fan Reactions
Breaking Dad first launched in 2019, with the duo embarking on their inaugural road trip across the USA, starting in Los Angeles, California, and traversing through Arizona and Texas before concluding in New Orleans. Over the years, the series has garnered high praise from fans, who find the escapades both hilarious and heartwarming.
One fan commented, 'Absolutely loved both series, they're just visiting places and doing stuff and being happy together. Add in the odd ukulele singalong, this is real feel-good stuff.' Another chimed in, 'Absolutely love this show. The father-son relationship is great. Bradley's sense of humour is fantastic and makes you laugh out loud. A must-watch, especially if you are a fan of Bradley Walsh.' A third viewer penned, 'Great series, they have such a wonderful relationship. Bradley & Barney together are hilarious. I love it.'
While the exact broadcast date for the new series on ITV remains unknown, anticipation is building for what promises to be another memorable chapter in the Walsh family's adventures.
