Barney Walsh jokes he’s signing up for ‘Breaking Grandad’ as he makes surprise baby admission
Breaking Grandad, incoming!
Actor and TV presenter Barney Walsh, now 27 years of age, has given fans a glimpse into his attitude towards parenthood.
He has been in six series of Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad alongside his dad. The latest one started earlier this month, and viewers already can’t get enough of the father-son duo.
But will there be more on the cards? Will the tables eventually turn on Barney, making him the dad in the equation? And will we one day find ourselves watching Breaking Grandad?

Gladiators host Barney Walsh addresses fatherhood in radio segment
During a spot on Chris Evans’ Virgin Radio show earlier this month, Barney – hosting Gladiators: The Final this weekend (April 12/13) – responded to questions about whether or not he might be tempted to continue the family line in order to keep Breaking Dad going.
“Are you going to have a son just so you can do this show again?” Chris asked the actor.
“If ITV is listening… series 27, bring it on,” Chris continued. “We’ve broken Grandad!” Then, amid peals of laughter, Chris added: “Why not? It’s not a no?”
To which Barney responded that, no, “it’s not a no. Never say never.”
