Bradley Walsh broke down in tears filming Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad.

The Chase star, 62, travels the world in the ITV series with his son Barney, 25, who Bradley credits with having "no fear".

As the pair travelled through Costa Rica, Bradley suddenly became emotional, telling Barney: “It’s more about the memories. The memories you make you doing these things, doing them with you. We are so blessed to be able to around the world and do this.”

Fighting back tears, he added: “I’m not upset, I find it very emotional, very heartwarming – I really do.”

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show previously, Bradley said of his son: "Barney is the man now... that I always wanted to be. And that's absolutely true. He's got no fear, he's young, he's finding his first feet in business and stuff. I just always wanted to do that.
