ITV Bradley Walsh's home life with dancer wife, famous son and link to Coleen Nolan

Bradley Walsh will take on new adventures with his son tonight.

His ITV show Bradley & Barney Walsh: Breaking Dad will return as the dad and lad continue to explore Costa Rica. Inspired by childhood memories, they will head to the country's cloud forest, where they are expected to attempt tree climbing.

They are also set to visit a local sanctuary that is home to 2,000 free roaming dogs, before heading into the countryside to meet a former Olympian in Kayak Slalom, where the father and son go head-to-head in a time trial.

Having graced our screens for number of years as the presenter of popular ITV game show The Chase, Walsh has become quite the household name. While it's clear he and his son are close, many may not be as familiar with the rest of The Chase star's family including his little known link to Loose Women's Coleen Nolan.

Who is Bradley Walsh’s wife?

Bradley is married to choreographer and dance icon Donna Derby, RSVPLive reports. She herself is no stranger to the limelight after starring in Robert Palmer’s music video Simply Irresistible. Back in 2017 Holly Willoughby shared a video of herself and Donna dancing to the iconic 80s hit.

She has also helped to put together the choreography for beauty pageant Miss World. Back in 1987, she featured in six episodes of The Kenny Everett Television Show, reported Kent Live.

Donna married Bradley in 1997 and the couple are still happily in love today. Over the years, he has opened up about how much his wife means to him and how he thinks she's an amazing mother.

How many children does Bradley Walsh have?

Bradley has two children. The Chase star has 25-year-old son Barney with wife Donna who has followed in his mother and father’s showbiz footsteps. In 2017 and 2018 he worked as a presenter for Miss World and toured with the Beauty With A Purpose project. Bradley is also super close to his 38-year-old daughter Hayley, whom he had with ex-partner Debby Parker.

Hayley currently lives in Hertfordshire with her boyfriend, Tom, and their pet pooch, Ned. She is very close to her family, and often shares snaps of her little brother and her parents to celebrate birthdays as well as Mother's Day and Father's Day on Instagram.

Who else has Bradley Walsh dated?

Before marrying Donna, Bradley used to date Bernie Nolan for three years. The couple were introduced by her sister Coleen Nolan – of Loose Women fame – and her then husband Shane Richie back in 1989.

However, their relationship ended in total heartbreak as Bernie alleged that Bradley had been unfaithful. Bradley also went on to date Debbie Parker, with whom he had Hayley.
