Bradley Walsh has made his son a director of his company to give him "more responsibility".
The father and son duo have delighted fans with their on-screen chemistry on their ITV travel show, which has also been renamed ‘Bradley and Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad’ as part of the reshuffle.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: "Bradley felt it was time for Barney to start taking on more responsibility.
"After the success of ‘Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad’, he wanted to put his son’s name in the title because the show has been such a success.
"He knows that pushing Barney to do more is a safe way to ensure their legacy as a telly pairing."
Both series of the programme have proven to be a hit with viewers, and earlier this month ‘The Chase’ host revealed the show has been nominated for a TV Choice award.
Taking to Instagram, he said: "Good morning Instas, long time no speak. Hope you’re all safe and well I really do.
"Apologies I haven’t been on Instagram for such a long while, it’s just that, do you know something, seriously, I keep forgetting – I think it’s aged me.
"But the good news is we’ve been nominated. ‘Breaking Dad’ has been nominated for a TV Choice Award, we’ve made the shortlist! And we’ve made the shortlist because I’m only 5 foot 6.
"However, it would be great if you could vote. I’ve spoken to Barney and he’s shown me how to do it, I’ve put a link to TV Choice Awards on my bio page, whatever that means.
"It’s all there on the bio. Link to bio? Degradable? I don’t know. Anyway it’s all there. ‘Breaking Dad’, make us winners, god bless you all stay safe. (sic)"
