Meanwhile, Barney wasn’t the only person using Instagram to mark Bradley’s birthday this week!

Olly Murs, who jokingly refers to himself as Bradley’s “showbiz son”, took to social media on Monday to celebrate his pal’s big day.

The former X Factor star decided to record his own version of Bradley’s drive-to-work singalong, Bradders Bangerz, calling it Mursey’s Bangerz.

Copying Bradley’s famous Instagram videos, Olly got his pal to “rack it up” on the radio as he sang along to Bradley himself singing That’s Life.

He uploaded the clip with the caption: “Tribute to my showbiz dad on his birthday. Love ya See you soon.”

Well, Bradley clearly approved as he uploaded the video to his own Instagram with the caption: “Morning Instas , here’s a birthday message that came in yesterday from my showbiz son doing CelebBangerz . Thought you might like to see it to get you off to work !! Have a great day.”

Bradley and Olly will team up for Soccer Aid this weekend, both playing for England at the charity event in aid of UNICEF.
