But over on ITV, the pair have been giving an insight into their relationship on Bradley Walsh and Son: Breaking Dad.
Bradley, 64, and Barney, 27, are hitting the road once again and this time they’re discovering Japan.
In an exclusive first look at the new series, Bradley can be seen relaxing as he enjoys beers with his son.
While downing the bevvies, the pair experience Karoke with their Japanese guide.
In the clip, Chase host Brad exclaims: “Karoke in Tokyo, this is the way to do it!”
He then breaks into song, belting out Abba’s Dancing Queen.
Turning to his guide, he asks: “You’re coming around with us right? You’re coming on the road with us?”
Bradley was left speechless as he swiftly replied: “Well that would be a hell of an honour, daddy.”
In hilarious scenes, Barney then warns the guide to stop calling his father ‘daddy’ if he wants to continue travelling with them.
Speaking about the new series, Bradley said: “The highlight for me has got to be the quality time I got to spend with Barney, having a laugh and making lifelong memories together.
“It was also great to meet so many wonderful people along the way. We had a great guide who travelled with us across Japan –
he was such a laugh (and brilliant at karaoke, I might add).
“We met a whole host of characters along the way who taught us so much about both countries’ history and culture. I love taking it all in and learning as much as I can.”
Barney added: “For me, the biggest highlight of all is that people still
love the show and that we might have inspired other families to travel.”
