Bradley Walsh has just posted the world’s cutest tribute to his son, Barney, and we were not ready for these tears today.
The Chase presenter shared a black and white snap of himself with Barney aged around 10, as well as a shot of them more recently filming their show, Bradley And Son: Breaking Dad.
He hailed his 22-year-old doppelganger his ‘hero’ and the ‘man he’s always wanted to be’ in the emotional post on Instagram.
‘To my Darling son Barney, 12 years is a long time,’ Bradley wrote.
‘There you were by my side and here we are now roles reversed with you leading the way. You are my hero and the man I always wanted to be.
‘Our travels have been awesome and I love every second in your company. Love always, Dad XXX.’
Oh brilliant, and now we’re sobbing.
Clearly moved by his dad’s words, Barney responded: ‘Thank you Dad. What an incredible journey!!
‘I feel so grateful to have shared this experience. Love you very much.’
Oh, YOU GUYS.
Such earnest, unashamed displays of emotion!
Meanwhile, we’re over here telling our dad to stop being a lazy git and get off the telly so we can watch Love Island. Paternal love, ey?!
Bradley and Barney have been absolutely breaking our hearts with their cute bond in Breaking Dad, in which the comedian and his son travel the world taking on challenges and adventures.
Wednesday’s episode saw them try out ice hockey, dog sledding, climbing an icy mountain (broken back and all) and visiting the real Von Trapp family home.
Fans couldn’t get over their sweet relationship and said they were ‘lucky’ they were so close.
They tweeted: ‘@BradleyWalsh absolutely love #breakingdad. You have such a fantastic relationship with Barney’ and ‘Barney Walsh and Bradley Walsh break my heart, so cute’.
Others added: ‘I absolutely love #bradleywalsh & #barneywalsh relationship. So so so sweet. Love @breakingdad71 Lucky father and son relationship. I love it and show and you both.’
Bradley and Son: Breaking Dad continues on Wednesday at 8pm on ITV.
