Bradley and Barney Walsh to return for 'dangerous' Breaking Dad travel series
Bradley and Barney Walsh, who currently host Gladiators together, are returning for a sixth series of their ITV travel programme which is said to be 'one of the funniest, dangerous and most heart-warming yet'.
Over six episodes, Breaking Dad will see the father and son duo embark on another road trip.
This time on Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad they'll be travelling through Asia as they explore Japan and Thailand while Barney pushes his father Bradley to take on a new set of adrenaline-fuelled challenges.
Bradley said: '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.'
The 64-year-old is best known for presenting ITV's The Chase.
In the previous series of Breaking Dad, Barney took his father on road trips across the US, Europe and Latin America, pushing him beyond his comfort zone with an itinerary of action-packed activities including sledging down a volcano in Nicaragua, gladiator fighting in Rome and skydiving in Los Angeles.
Barney said: 'I'm excited to get stuck into this new adventure with my dad and get him to experience the local cultures in Japan and Thailand.
'It's going to be an exciting and adrenaline-fuelled road trip with lots of fun and laughter.'
The first series aired in January 2019 with the pair exploring LA and Arizona.
Sue Murphy, head of factual entertainment at ITV, said: 'We're thrilled that our very own father and son dynamic duo are back on the road, this time unleashing their inimitable charm onto unsuspecting Asia, as Barney continues to push Brad way beyond his comfort zones.'

Emmerdale star reveals character was almost 'written out' of ITV soap
An Emmerdale star has opened up on the death of her mother and her 'best friend' saying she 'learned a lot about grief' in the process. Lisa Riley, known for playing Mandy Dingle on the ITV soap, lost her mother in July 2012. The tragedy was just months before she joined BBC dancing show Strictly Come Dancing, where she was paired up with Robin Windsor. Riley credits Windsor for helping her get through the grief and has now opened up on her mother and Windsor's deaths. Really excited to be going on @GMB this coming Thursday 12th June. Launching something very dear to my heart with @Sue_Ryder and discussing what's coming up for Mandy & Paddy in @emmerdale 💛💛💛 #gmb #goodmorning #goodmorningbritain #sueryder #charity #emmerdale #london 💙💙💙 — LISA RILEY (BLUE TICK) (@Reallisariley) June 10, 2025 Robin Windsor died in February last year at the age of 44. The Latin and ballroom dancer was best known for appearing on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. His cause of death was not given. Riley has now opened up on coping with the deaths of Windsor and her mother on ITV's Good Morning Britain. She said: 'I've learned a lot about grief and how to deal with it, and how to be open and to literally ask for help, because it's okay. 'Sometimes people go really within, my brother's that person, we all deal with things differently, and I was pressing the bravado button going, 'I've got to go out and play Mandy Dingle every day, I've got to dress up as Mandy and be funny'. 'There were some days I didn't want to be funny, I'm lucky with the brilliant girls in my dressing room, where we lean on each other, and my work with Sue Ryder, I've realised that there is a helpline out there. 'The internet is brilliant, there are so many places you can go to, Sue Ryder being one of them for help.' She also praised the Emmerdale team for their support, calling them 'phenomenal' after they offered to write out her character to give her time off. Riley added that she wanted to continue working, saying she 'knows it's what Robin would have wanted'. The actress said: 'Me, being me, I didn't want to be at home in my bedroom, or at home thinking about it too much, I had to carry on with my day job. 'But the make-up girls, what people at home won't know when they're watching Emmerdale is I was having my make-up done three times because I couldn't get it together, I couldn't, day in, day out, and work were brilliant, like we know, we'll write you out, we'll give you time off should you need it. Fans have taken to social media to send support to Riley after opening up about her grief. She posted an Instagram reel in support of the Sue Ryder Charity, saying: "You are never ever ever alone with @surerydercharity. Please go to the webpage if you are struggling - there will be someone to listen." One fan replied: "Sending hugs Lisa, how brave you are for sharing your story, your Mum sounds like a wonderful woman." A second added: "This made me cry, bless ur heart, Lisa, your mum would be so proud of the lovely woman you are. Lots of love." A number of characters have left the popular ITV soap this year. Emmerdale legend Lesley Dunlop, who plays Brenda Walker, has left after 16 years.

This Morning viewers call for 'more' Steph McGovern after presenter's appearance on rival programme
This Morning viewers have called for 'more' Steph McGovern after the presenter made an appearance on her former rival programme. The 43-year-old got her break in the media world when she became a main producer for the Today programme's daily financial news on BBC Radio 4. Going on to produce BBC One's Six and Ten O'Clock news, Steph began appearing on camera in 2011 as BBC Breakfast's main business presenter. READ MORE: Coronation Street fans make demand as Platt family home transformation unveiled READ MORE: Coronation Street fans make 'weird' observation over Craig Tinker's heartbreaking memorial After hosting Pocket Money Pitch for CBBC, Shop Well for Less with Alex Jones, Made in Great Britain and BBC Watchdog, Steph announced she was leaving the BBC for Channel 4 in 2019. The show originally launched as The Steph Show in March 2020 and had to be broadcast from the presenter's house due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It returned later that summer under the new name of Steph's Packed Lunch. Broadcast from Leeds, the series featured showbiz interviews, cooking segments, news, and consumer advice. When it premiered, the series began airing at 12.30 pm, going head to head with ITV's panel show Loose Women. It later got an extra 30 minutes, moving its start time to during This Morning's final 30 minutes. Steph's Packed Lunch was cancelled by Channel 4 in 2023, with a spokesperson placing the decision down to 'audience habits changing quicker than ever'. They said at the time: 'We have to make difficult decisions about which programmes to invest in to best drive our digital-first strategy and we have decided not to recommission Steph's Packed Lunch when its existing production contract ends in December 2023. Several months on from competing on Netflix reality show Celebrity Bear Hunt, Steph was on This Morning on Thursday (June 12). Despite previously going up against two of ITV's flagship programmes in the ratings war, Steph got on well with Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. Sitting alongside This Morning contributor Nick Ferrari, Steph discussed a number of the day's big news stories, including the Indian plane crash. Steph and Nick also discussed whether there is still a rivalry between the north and south, with Steph hailing from Tyne and Wear. Those watching This Morning at home took to X, previously known as Twitter, to have their say on Steph's appearance. @SabrinaSpectre said: 'Steph McGovern is such a brilliant broadcaster and we need her back on our screens more.' @philm2244 added: 'Bring back Steph's packed lunch.' @Boppity_Boo34 wrote: 'Like Steph I'm a proud northerner and there still is a north/south divide and also Yorkshire never gets a mention not even on the bloody weather lol #ThisMorning.' @Mate_of_Bob commented: 'I like the woman who was with @NickFerrariLBC. Who is she? Articulate, intelligent, funny and a Northerner!' @Mysteron_Voice posted: 'Ironic really that Steph McGovern's lunchtime show on Channel 4 was pitched directly *against* This Morning and Loose Women, and now here she is on This Morning.'

Laurence Fox could face trial in 2027 over upskirting photo of TV star
Laurence Fox could face trial in 2027 over allegations he shared a compromising photo of TV star Narinder Kaur on social media. The actor-turned-activist is alleged to have shared a compromising image in a tweet posted in April 2024 of Kaur, 52, who appears regularly on Good Morning Britain and has previously appeared on GB News. Ms Kaur, who has waived her right to anonymity, sat in the public gallery at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday as Fox, of Peldon in Essex, appeared charged with two counts under the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The 47-year-old defendant is accused of sharing a photograph of a person's genitals 'intending that the person or another person would see the genitals, and for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, and being reckless as to whether that person would be caused alarm, distress or humiliation' in the first count. The second count alleges he shared a photograph which showed, or appeared to show, 'another person in an intimate state, with the intention of causing that person alarm, distress or humiliation'. The court hearing on Thursday was listed for plea and trial preparation but Fox, who was wearing a white shirt and grey blazer with jeans, was not asked to enter any pleas. A provisional trial with a time estimate of four days was set for December 6 2027 at the same court, with Fox granted bail to appear for a further case management hearing on November 14 this year. Sarah Forshaw KC, defending, asked the court if it would be possible to look at whether other venues may be able to accommodate an earlier trial as 'December 2027 is a long way ahead'. The police previously said Fox had been 'charged with an offence contrary to section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003' which 'relates to an image that was posted on a social media platform in April 2024'. Section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act relates to 'cyber flashing'. The charge, introduced in 2023, makes it an offence to intentionally share a sexual image of someone without consent, with the aim of causing alarm, distress, humiliation or for sexual gratification. Upskirting, taking pictures of people under their clothes without their permission, became a specific criminal offence in 2019. Offenders can face up to two years in jail and be placed on the sex offenders' register. Fox was fired from GB News in October 2023 after an on-air rant about journalist Ava Evans. He previously starred as James Hathaway in ITV's drama series Lewis.
