Who is Bradley Walsh's wife and how many children do they have?

Bradley Walsh will be setting off on some terrifying and hilarious adventures with his son in a new ITV series.

The Chase star will be partaking in some quality family time with his son Barney for the latest season of Bradley Walsh and Son: Breaking Dad.

But for us, the entertainment value definitely comes from Barney continually setting up his dad to take on all sorts of mad adventures and stunts.

In this series of Breaking Dad, the duo will be taking on Europe off the back of their previous road trips across the US and Europe.

We’ll watch them experiencing a free dive, flying across a football stadium on a wire in Croatia and racing on jet skis.

Over the six episodes there are guaranteed to be some hilarious moments as they explore the Eastern European countries of Poland, Hungary and Croatia.

But what do we know about Bradley’s family life - who is he married to and does he have any other children?

Who is Bradley Walsh’s wife?

TV star Bradley Walsh has been married to Donna Derby since 1997 and have been together since 1992.

Donna is a choreographer and former dancer, and has choreographed routines for Miss World, which was at one point presented by her son.

She first came to fame in 1980 for dancing in the hit Robert Palmer record Simply Irresistible.

She also appeared in six episodes of The Kenny Everett Television Show in the late 1980s.

Donna often appears alongside Bradley on the red carpet and he once told the Huffington Post that he ‘wouldn’t swap my missus for the world’.

How many children do Bradley Walsh and Donna Derby have?

Donna Derby and Bradley Walsh have a son called Barney, who was born in 1997 and is 24 years old.

Barney worked as a presenter for Miss World in 2017 and 2018 and has acted in programmes including Doctors, Law & Order and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

He is currently appearing with Bradley on the ITV programme Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad.

Bradley also has a daughter, Hayley, with his ex-partner Debby Parker, who keeps largely out of the spotlight.

In November 2021 Walsh shared that he had become a grandfather after Hayley, 38, welcomed a baby boy earlier that year.

When is Breaking Dad on TV?

Bradley Walsh and Son: Breaking Dad will air at 8pm on Monday, January 17, 2022 on ITV and ITV Hub.

You can catch up on the first three seasons of the show on ITV Hub too.

Seasons one and two see Bradley and Barney travel the US, while season 3 shows the duo adventuring across Europe, including Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
