Indeed, the pair have quite the bond, and he told Jonathan that they really do get on well.

“We do [get on well]. He’s a great lad Barney.

“I’ve said it on many occasions – he’s the person I always wanted to be.”

Opening up about their special bond, he added: “He’s got wonderful humility, he’s very sensitive. He takes after his mum, thankfully.

“He’s much more gentle than I am.”

The pair are also back with a brand-new episode of their travel show Breaking Dad which airs tonight (Christmas Eve).

The trailer for the festive edition dropped last week teasing that viewers will see the pair driving their RV across Iceland.

He’s posted a few clips teasing some of things he and Bradley get up to in the festive special.

One clip shows them both taking a dip in the famous geothermal Icelandic springs.

The guys bob about in the steamy waters, wearing Santa hats.

“We’re not naked,” Bradley reassures viewers at one point, because their hats and bare chests are the only things visible. He stands up to reveal that he’s wearing some festive shorts too.
