ITV fans say the same thing as Bradley Walsh series comes to an end
The dynamic duo of ITV star Bradley Walsh and his son Barney wrapped up the sixth series of 'Breaking Dad' on Tuesday (May 6) with an exhilarating finale in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The father-son pair has been on an epic journey through Japan and Thailand, engaging in a variety of activities.
They have participated in sumo wrestling in Tokyo and bungee jumping in Gifu, gone go-karting in Osaka, and honed their Muay Thai skills in Bangkok.
In the final episode, Barney upped the ante with a heart-stopping jungle roller coaster ride through Chiang Mai's green landscape. They also braved the world's stinkiest fruit, with Bradley more taken aback by its hefty £36 price tag than its notorious odour and flavour.

The duo competed in a wooden go-kart race that seemed like a surefire way to void any travel insurance policy.
Reflecting on the show's six-season run, Bradley and Barney shared cherished memories from their adventures, stirring nostalgia among fans.
However, the trip down memory lane sparked concern among viewers about the show's future. Fans took to social media to express their hopes and fears.
One viewer posted: "Really hope this wasn't the last series! I really enjoy watch Bradley and Barney's adventures!! #breakingdad" Another shared their apprehension: "Genuinely hope this isn't the final episode of #BreakingDad that I've watched tonight, this father and son are great to watch together!"

Another chimed in, "Awww, I hope that isn't the last series. Such an entertaining show." There's buzz around whether Bradley Walsh and his son Barney will be back for another run, as ITV has yet to confirm a seventh series, reports the Express.
A well-recognised face since the late 1980s, Bradley first graced our screens with the show 'You Must Be Joking', before going on to star in 'Coronation Street', 'The Larkins', and 'Doctor Who'. But it's as the charismatic quizmaster of ITV's The Chase – a post he's held since its 2009 debut – that Bradley is perhaps best known.
Venturing into new territory, Bradley has joined forces with Barney for the BBC's fresh take on Gladiators. While chatting to BBC's Tommy Tiernan, Bradley shared the joy the show brings him.
He revealed: "It's one of the most wonderful things I've ever done because spending time with my lad. From the age of 18, he's now 26 by the way, that's how long the show's been running, it was just extraordinary."
Breaking Dad is available to watch on ITVX.

Coronation Street rogue has U-turned on his decision to leave
Coronation Street bad boy Carl Webster's (Jonathan Howard) decisions took us on an emotional rollercoaster in tonight's episode, as he made a massive U-turn. After turning up to work at the garage in the morning, Carl was stunned when Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) fired him. Carl had been involved in some dodgy dealings, which he was operating from the garage, so it made sense that furious Kevin would throw him out. Having lost his job, Carl insisted that there was nothing left in Weatherfield for him, which Kevin was pleased to pass on to Abi Webster (Sally Carman). Viewers will know that Abi has feelings for Carl and was left heartbroken earlier this week when he slept with her then called off their relationship all together. Abi wasn't the only one upset by Carl's sudden decision to leave, and when she arrived in the cafe, Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) put her on the spot by demanding that she talk him out of it. When Abi's lacklustre attempts failed to convince Carl, Debbie pointed out that she needed family around her that she could trust, especially after her diagnosis. Debbie was diagnosed with dementia earlier this year, which really rocked her. In more recent scenes, she was left feeling extremely betrayed when Kevin lied to her about still having cancer. She made it clear that it was important to her that Carl stuck around, and eventually she managed to convince him to stay. When Abi later confronted him about his change of heart, Carl insisted he was staying put for the sake of his sister, though Abi demanded that he tell her the truth. More Trending It was then that he confessed that he couldn't bear to leave her, which made Abi point out that he had been the one to end things between them. Carl admitted that he was wrong and that he shouldn't have pushed her away, all while discreetly stroking her leg. View More » However, Abi didn't take the bait and went straight back to Kev.

Coronation Street airs telling scene as Swarla's future 'revealed' amid bombshell
Carla Connor seemed to come one step closer to uncovering Lisa Swain's late wife Becky's past on Friday's episode of Coronation Street as her future with the policewoman became clear Carla Connor seemed to be one step closer to uncovering the truth about Becky Swain on Friday's episode of Coronation Street. The Underworld boss, played by Alison King, has been dating Weatherfield detective Lisa Swain for just under a year now, but it has become apparent over that time that there is still a lot to come to light. As viewers will know, before she made her first appearance on the ITV soap, Lisa was married to Becky and they had daughter Betsy (Sydney Martin) together. But Becky, also a police officer, was killed in the line of duty when she was hit by a car. The circumstances surrounding her death have never been fully disclosed, although it is known that the car was being driven by the brothers of Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan), who was stabbed to by his brother Logan (Harry Lowbridge) death earlier this year. Determined to uncover more, Carla took it upon herself to visit Logan in prison and she managed to extract a kernel of information out of him, even though he seemed unwilling to talk when she first arrived. He told her: "So what happens next? I tell you everything and then I never hear from you again? It's not gonna happen. Money first, then I talk. You cough up, and then I'll cough up." A desperate Carla tried to reason with Logan, as she told him how the whole situation was 'killing' Lisa. Logan asked Carla for £10,000 but she refused and then he let slip the name: "Tia Wardley," as he added: "You can have that one for free. Anything else, you know the price." While all this was going on, Lisa, already reeling as today would have been her and Becky's wedding anniversary, left her counselling session and immediately hacked into her DI Costello's (Daon Broni) email to see what sort of information she can find for herself over her late wife's death. She was shocked to discover that PC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) had already been on the case, but before she could process that, she was caught by DI Costello himself. She begged: "I have to know what you had on Becky, was she corrupt or not? She was my wife and I'm starting to feel like I didn't even know her!" Lisa's superior threatened her with the sack for reading his emails, but she was undeterred as she insisted that she has a "right to know" more about Becky's death, especially when she was being investigated for something at the time of her death. In the end, Costello tried to throw her off the scent by warning her: "It was a misunderstanding, simple as. I won't take this further, but you need to drop it. Leave the past in the past!" Lisa then coolly slid into the pub to confront Kit, telling him: "My gut said it all along. 'He's a wrong'un Lisa, you can't trust a word he says.' I know what you've done. I saw it in black-and-white. You e-mailed Costello asking to see Becky's files. Why are you so obsessed with my wife?" Kit tried to explain that he had been told to drop it and wasn't prepared to lose his job over the matter, but Lisa quickly branded him a 'liar and a snake' before adding: "You put so much as a toe out of line then I will come crashing down on you, DC Green. I mean it!" And back at the factory, Carla was unable to keep her mind off Tia Wardley. Eventually, she opened her laptop to throw the name into a search engine, but seemed confused when the only results that came back focused on a American sports star, who had retired after she sustained multiple injuries in a cycling accident, and a local lollipop lady with the same name who had retired. Unable to suss things out, Carla closed her laptop and seemed to forget all about it. But things started to come to a head at home later when Lisa asked to borrow Carla's laptop, and immediately spotted her search history. Carla confessed that she had been to visit Logan, and that is how she had become aware of the name Tia Wardley. She told her: "You need answers, I thought I may be able to help", but seemingly brushing everything off, Lisa replied: "And this, Tia Wardley, is it? She's going to help?" Carla then claimed that Logan had probably just been making things up, but things took a concerning turn in the next scene when an inmate walked into Logan's cell and said: "You've been a chatty boy today, haven't you?" and slammed the door. In the end, Lisa decided to commit her future to Carla as she removed her wedding ring and said: "I want to build a life with you, in the house that we bought together. Matching bathrobes, everything. I'm all yours!"

Mathew Horne fights back tears over sudden death of Gavin and Stacey colleague
Mathew Horne fought back tears while telling crowds he'd just been told a crew member from Gavin and Stacey had died. The actor, 46, starred as Gavin Shipman in the BBC comedy alongside Joanna Page, James Corden, and Ruth Jones since it began in 2007 until its final episode on Christmas Day 2024. He was being interviewed on stage for an In Conversation With session in Taunton, Somerset, when he suddenly became emotional and told the audience he'd only just received the news when it had been shared on the cast WhatsApp group. Horne said, via The Sun: 'Sorry. I got distracted. Earlier on… we had a driver on the finale called Rob and he was in his early 40s… and I found out via the Whatsapp group earlier that he has passed away and I got slightly distracted there. 'It's really, really sad. I got distracted by losing Rob. 'He was a really lovely guy and he's left a four-year-old behind and that is really, really, really sad.' Horne also shared how close the cast had become since bonding 'like a family' over the last 18 years. For the main actors, their lives changed beyond recognition and the show became one of the most popular British comedies of all time. He explained: 'In 2019, before the Christmas special – part one of the finale if you like – aired, I lost my mother and Alison really stepped up and she became my surrogate mother off screen as well. 'Whenever she texts me even now she signs it 'Mum'. And that is cool. That is so beautiful. And she says, 'How are you, my little prince?' It means the world to me.' Gavin and Stacey ended on Christmas Day, 2024, with a feature-length episode that attracted a staggering 19.1million viewers. Fans waited five years to find out if Smithy accepted Nessa's proposal to quickly discover he was getting married – but not to her. Instead, the episode followed Smithy gearing up to marry Sonia – his insufferable girlfriend who his friends and family couldn't stand. Thankfully, fans got their happy ending, Smithy jilted Sonia at the aisle and raced across the country to find Nessa and get down on one knee. There has, however, been talk of potential spin-offs with other characters such as Dawn and Pete, played by Julia Davis and Adrian Scarborough respectively, keeping the spirit of Gavin and Stacey alive.
