ITV has confirmed that Bradley and Barney Walsh’s hit TV show will be making a return with a brand new series.

The programme, entitled Breaking Dad, first made its debut in 2019 but hasn’t aired a series since February 2023.

It will be the sixth series of the show

Now, it looks set to make a comeback as the pair embark on an epic adventure across Japan and Thailand.

The new six-part series will see the father and son duo enjoy a road trip across Asia with Barney planning to surprise his dad with a slew of adrenaline-filled activities to get his blood-pumping.

It will throw any chance Bradley had planned for a bit of piece and relaxation under the bus as he is pushed to the limit with a variety of daredevil stunts.

Speaking about the brand new series, Bradley revealed: “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…”

Whilst Barney went on to add: “I’m excited to get stuck into this new adventure with my dad, and get him to experience the local cultures in Japan and Thailand.

“It’s going to be an exciting and adrenaline fuelled road trip with lots of fun and laughter.”

The show has so far aired a total of 29 episodes across five series since its launch in 2019.

Barney has also landed a role in drama series The Larkins and has since become a regular in BBC medical drama Casualty.
