Meanwhile, Bradley has revealed Breaking Dad was inspired by Phillip Schofield‘s mum!
The brand new series will see Bradley and his son Barney take on a European adventure.
Appearing on This Morning earlier today, Bradley and Barney discussed the new series and unveiled how it all came about.
What did Bradley Walsh say about Breaking Dad on This Morning?
Speaking to Phillip, Bradley explained: “Listen Phil, here’s something for you.
“You know how all this started? Phil do you know how this started?
“We were all at a party in Portugal, you, Steph [Phil’s wife], Dan [Baldwin] and Holly [Willoughby].
Phil jokes his mum is to blame
“You showed us a video of your mum wing walking.”
He continued: “Dan [Holly’s husband and an executive producer on the show] said to me, ‘Brad, could you do that?’ and I went, ‘absolutely not’.
“And then Dan said to Barney, ‘Could you get your dad to do that?’ That’s how it started.”
Rochelle Humes, who was filling in for Holly today, told Phil: “So it’s your fault?”
Phil joked: “It’s my mum’s fault!”
Later, Phil showed the video of his mum – who was 83-years-old at the time – wing walking.
He said: “That’s her on top of the plane, waving as she goes over. That is my wing-walking 83-year-old mother.
You showed us a video of your mum wing walking.
“We could not believe she was doing it. So that’s what started the whole thing off!”
Bradley said: “That is absolutely true.”
Meanwhile, during the chat, Barney admitted he does worry about his dad while filming the show.
