The adventurous pair recently spoke about how the series has helped to bring them closer together. "Travelling together not just as father and son but as mates, being able to go to these places and have a good time and share these memories, has been great," Barney told the Daily Mail

The show has brought the father and son closer together

Bradley agreed, adding: "I think we've done something like 100 activities now. For a father and son or parent and child to do that is quite extraordinary

"And to do it so late in life for me and to do it with Barney, who's really caring and looks after me, is wonderful."

Bradley previously spoke about his relationship with his son and how Barney ended up directing him during the first series of the show. Chatting on This Morning in 2019, he said: "He has always been my son, and you always take care of them. But then all of a sudden he becomes your equal and a work colleague, and a mate, and someone you respect.
