“It’s the Last One…” – Bradley Walsh’s Tearful Goodbye Leaves Breaking Dad Fans Heartbroken
Breaking Dad fans are in turmoil after Bradley Walsh appeared to confirm the beloved ITV series with son Barney might have reached its final stop. The latest episode, which aired Tuesday (May 6), took viewers on a whirlwind adventure through Thailand — but ended with a heartfelt montage that left many fearing the worst.
In the final leg of their East and South East Asia tour, Bradley and Barney journeyed through Chiang Mai after stops in Tokyo, Gifu, Osaka, and Bangkok. From battling sumo wrestlers to flying through the jungle on a zip line, the duo’s experiences were thrilling, fun-filled, and emotional.

As the credits rolled, fans were treated to a nostalgic montage of the duo’s most unforgettable moments, set to Frank Sinatra’s My Way. The scene, filled with touching exchanges and reflective looks, prompted a flood of speculation on social media.
While standing at a serene temple, Bradley gently mused, “This is a cool place to finish, a very beautiful temple.” Barney added, “We’ve done some stuff.”

Bradley, with a warm smile, continued: “It has been amazing. I’ve just enjoyed going all around the globe with you. It’s been great, Barns.”
Barney, now 27, who started filming the series at age 19, replied: “Me too, Dad. We’ve been to so many countries now, we’ve done so many things.”

Then came the line that broke viewers’ hearts: “Well, it is the last one, innit? That’s it.”
Barney tried to soften the blow with a hopeful, “Never say never. We’ve had a good run.”
The pair embraced, and Bradley concluded emotionally: “I’ve loved every second of it, mate. I really have. I’d have struggled if I hadn’t done it with you.”
Barney added, “That’s part of the magic, right? That we do it together.”
Fans Beg for a Comeback
Social media exploded as viewers reacted to what seemed like a farewell.
“Is this the last-ever series then? Since they’re showing clips from previous series’ too? #breakingdad,” one concerned fan asked.
Another replied, “I’ve asked the same thing.”
“Absolutely love this series! Gutted it’s over after eight years,” a fan commented, “but I’ve laughed out loud at every series. What a bond those guys have.”
“Really hope this wasn’t the last series! I really enjoy watching Bradley and Barney’s adventures!! #breakingdad,” another viewer pleaded.
Someone else added, “Such an entertaining show. Hope it’s not the end. #breakingdad.”
One fan summed it up perfectly:
“Genuinely hope this isn’t the final episode… this father and son are gold on screen!”
The sense of loss was echoed across the platform, with many using crying emojis and asking ITV to “please bring Breaking Dad back!”
For now, there’s no official word from ITV on whether the show will return – but if the emotional outpouring from fans is anything to go by, the Walsh duo still have plenty of journeys left to take.
