ITV confirms launch date for Series 7 of Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad

In the brand-new series, Bradley and Barney explore Australia’s vast wilderness and stunning coastline — but, as usual, Bradley doesn’t get the relaxation or rest he is anticipating.

Instead, Barney lines up a jam-packed schedule of adrenaline-fuelled challenges, all designed to push his dad to the limit across the outback and beyond.

ITV have confirmed the series will consist of six episodes and will launch on Friday, May 1 at 7.30pm.

In a press release, Bradley expressed his excitement ahead of the series.

“It’s so good to be back on the road again with Barney. We really do have the best time but I’m not quite sure what he has up his sleeve on this trip, which is slightly worrying… I was looking forward to a bit of sunshine and maybe a nice barbecue but knowing Barney, I’ll be dodging great whites or jumping out of a plane before breakfast,” he said.

Barney is also stoked to be reunited with his dad for the show.
