Bradley Walsh and son Barney are closer than close – but fans had never really commented on the fact that they looked alike until a throwback clip of The Chase host was shown on ITV to mark a milestone birthday.
When Bradley Walsh turned 60, ITV marked the occasion with a special programme celebrating his long career in entertainment.
Shown in June 2020, Bradley Walsh: Happy 60th Birthday took viewers through his work in everything from stand-up comedy and presenting to acting.
But viewers at home couldn’t help noticing one thing about The Chase host when he was younger.
Bradley Walsh is son Barney’s spitting image
